    Foam N8TEBB's Foam MA40 Halo Infinite Assault Rifle

    I have done several foam props. and my suggestion would be to use a polystyrene core and build out with more standard Eva or craft foams. If you cannot handle the "screech" of polystyrene then doubling up either 3/8 or 1/2 inch foam mats should be enough of a core. I will caution with the...

    Foam Halo Infinite Masterchief Build

    Might be a bit late to the party on this but I just finished my new boots for my suit. I use some basic shoes and then fix them to a base using screws. I know my method is in a significant minority because of weight. (these two boots weigh about 10-15 pounds together) But I like the lift and...

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    alright! The boots are built. pretty happy with how they have turned out, and they are only a little bit larger than the old boots. They are about 1 inch longer and a little over 1 inch wider than the old boots. Have some pictures:

    Any advice for angel cuts?

    I have 1 main method for cutting angles: The main thing is that I have a fairly good judge of the angle itself so I cut it without any direct measurements but you could do measured cutting. "freehand" but I will give my method a shot. and for your purposes, it may be easier to cut the "flat"...

    Halo Fan Art

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    alright! big weekend update! I would say I am out 70-80% complete with the build process and then I can move on to the paint. I am also satisfied with the scale of the boots as they seem to match up all right with my current shins. (which are the next items on my rebuild list) In any case...

    Starting a helmet.

    sure there are! As N8TEBB said above getting a platform shoe or even making your own platforms can work. Here is an example of how I achieve about a 3" lift for my spartan: At the end of the day, it depends on the level of work you want to do on the shoes/boots.

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    Weekend Update!! all base work on the boots is done. First thing first, I needed to tear down the old boots for their hardware. then I needed to do my cutouts. Then I added the salvaged hardware and finalized any design requirements. From here it was time to add my rubber soles. (don't...

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    okay more updates: though a small one to be sure. I have my pattern done for the soles of the boots. And oh boy they are huge. about 14" long toe to heel. almost 8" wide at the wings. and will have about a 2-3" lift that the shoes will mount onto. From there, we have some more material and...

    Multi-Gen Mojlnir armor overhaul (Pep and freehand)

    well, here I am again back for another part overhaul! This time: Boots! My old boots have been through the wringer and have generally deteriorated over time and no longer fit or stabilize me properly. So on to what looks like it may be the single most expensive part of my armor. First-up...
