Necro-post!!!! Burn him!!! Hi gang. Well as I warned, I make a WIP and I jinx the project. Made very little progress after that last post Jan 21. I did take the undersuit for a spin with my old foam armor from 2013 at a recent GalaxyCon in richmond. It was in desperate need of paint, so I...

Hey gang, long time no see. Now that conventions are back, my wife agreed to actually let me wear a costume to galaxycon in Richmond VA. So dusted off my old armor circa 2013, with the newer tech suit from my stalled Halo4-5 armor build of 3 years ago. Realized that the old paint was in bad...

Ok, one bicep/shoulder is done. I'm still not 100% happy with some folds/cuts. And there are still some needless parts and honestly I see some deltas between this model and the screen captures from the infinite trailer, so I have done some free-handing in my actual piece that is not reflected...

I would very much like. Thanks!

Hey gang, As a follow up to a previous post, I'm making this build thread in order to keep any files I edit in an easier to find format. Quick recap, I have 3D models built by MoeSizzlac, Satchmo III, and xtreemenoob. Those original files are here: Helmet - Satchmo III did a helmet: Halo...

Here's my stab at making the bicep/shoulder into a foam pep. I'm not convinced the back-side of the shoulder is necessary and so eliminated some of the inner parts. I'm also not 100% confident that all of the folds are necessary in a few parts, but frankly I'm tired of clicking. So I guess...

Brilliant! Thank you sir!

Replying to my own thread, I think I have found "a" way, but hoping there is another. But once unfolded into this mess I see that I can rejoin faces in the 2D screen and humpty-dumpty this thing back together in the way I want. Its fairly tedious but should let me assemble this the way I see...

Hey gang, So I like the new Infinite armor the more I see it, and am probably going to abandon my H4 plans to make one of these instead. So I've found the files that are available so far created by the ever impressive MoeSizzlac <salute>. These are 3D files for printing. I then figured I...

That gives me an idea to cut the armor pieces out of latex and cover with the fabric. They would be much more flexible than Eva foam. Although I wonder if the latex would provide enough of a feel/height to be worth doing vice just laying down more fabric alone...

Just to be clear for anyone reading, this is the reference pic I'm talking about. (For Halo 4/5 build).

Would love pics. Any and all ideas/help is useful.

Doing similar. I don't normally post WIP pics because it jinxes my projects and I never finish them then. (Looking at you dinosaur costume...). But am in a similarly "stuck" situation and looking for advice/thoughts on the undersuit. Clearly the 2500's have more interesting fabric than we do...

Hey gang, So if one were to try to understand the Halo world solely from the stories and dialogue from the games, well they'd be pretty lost. At least I was way back in the day and spending time these past weeks replaying everything hasn't helped. Suffice to say the exposition is a little...

Hey gang. Just getting back into the "Halo-verse" after a few years off. Am motivated to make a new set of armor but my brain is exploding from all of the options, styles, etc. I built a Halo 3 style MC a few years ago and was originally thinking I'd just move down the timeline and build a...
