Thanks! hehe, it is fun. Here is what I was talking about, I think I recall members doing this on their Locus helmets to make it snug and wearable: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php?t=40275 I forgot some people did removable visors that are also magnetically attached, seems a nice way to get...

Such impressive work! I hope my suit comes out even a tenth as good as this. I'll definitely be using yours as reference as I proceed with mine :D

I like your shins, everything seems really detailed and well made so far. I like the mixing of the 6mm? sheets with the floor mats. They seem to allow more detail but are they as strong?

I'm obviously late to the party but I wanted to chime in on how much of an ingenious and ambitious project this is and how masterful a job you've done on it. Thanks for sharing your awesome work and results :D

This will be a cool build to watch unfold. You've certainly picked a very interesting suit to build and your progress looks great so far. I've not built anything in a long while but the current gen armors seem more time consuming to build than Reach suits (imho). I've spent 3 days on a Hermes...

Re: Noble halo5 3D printing armor for a client Impressive approach to armor making. Seems a very smart way to scale armor without the 'guessing' that you sometimes have to do (+/- 1 an inch here or there, oddly tall armor if you're short :P) and you can likely tailor the armor to the person...

Great looking helmet! I've been browsing around, never tried a foam helmet before but yours looks great and is a terrific take on GEN2/H4 EOD. Look forward to seeing updates on the suit!

This is such a masterful build and the way you document it is brilliant and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your progress with us and keep up the stellar work! Look forward to seeing more!

Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build Wow. This only reiterates what has been said but your technique is very interesting and unique and your scratch build is coming along wonderfully. Keep up the great work!

Heh I did the same thing with the shin at first, I'm sure others had too. It totally feels more natural/fits better turned around like that. It wasn't until I compared it with my ref images that I realized it. Gah you're going to make me redo my suit at this rate. Such clean lines and cuts...

Yeah that is a beauty. As stated the lines are really crisp and the screws/bolts/sling mount? you sunk into the body are really nice touches. I'm much enamored with the grip area, so packed full of detail and despite being painted black(s) it isn't flat at all. Great job!

Wow! Great work EVAkura! I've been looking around for a new project and your's will surely be a great guide to follow if I start on this permutation. I keep going back and forth between something from 343/H4 or H3 ODST armor #_# Or building stilts and going Sanghelli! :P I'm on vacation...

That looks pretty cool, you're building these guys right? I really liked their design and that of the kig yar in that level as soon as I saw their corpses floating by my crosshairs :P From my experience, wanted and unwanted trials, I've found that if you heat up that section--and just...

This is a pretty slick start to your build. The layers on the armor and the detail are already really sweet. I like it even more for the fact that you use googily eyes for bolt heads. Best of luck!

Great work so far, by the looks of it you'll have a wicked suit in no time. Your knees make me jealous, they're a much better shape than mine. I agree with you both, the bits few bits of texture will make it pop. I like to see how well it can be used on Mass Effect suits. Nice sleeve too ;)
