Ah Ha! Found some. This is the tabard without the stencil. It's made from a heavy twill and hand stitched to the belt. Bracers pre paint. Test fitting progress. Sorry about how this is being posted. Having to dig up progress pics from different places. I found a few more of pieces in...

I found some more of the thighs. I lost a lot of pics when I swopped computers. (old comp died) The part that I really miss was the tabard on the belt. I hand drafted the design then heat pressed it on. But I don't have any pics of it.

No I did not build a helmet. By the time I was finished with the armor it was 2 days till the con. Also at the time almost no Pep was out for Destiny. That's why it was all hand drafted. Still had a lot of fun with it.

Well... is it a necro post if its your thread??? I know its been 4 years since I started this build. Good news, I finished it and got 2nd best in show at Oni Con 2015. Life kicked my butt the last few years and I forgot about 405th and this thread. Im going to start up a Spartan build and felt...

I know how the heat can zap your motivation. It gets that hot here with %4000 humidity.

Just wanted to see if you could see the number in the dots.

I hate to brake it to you. That's not red and blue. That's brown and teal.

I understand how you can feel that way. When I showed the new logo to my wife she had the same thought I did. In my job I have to be extra careful to not do anything that can be construed as racist. I might have jumped the gun here. I never said I don't like. I was conserned for the image of the...

You can see how they got their inspiration for the logo. Just search "what is the southwest known for" and the only thing that comes up is desert and Native Americans. But then again it also shows that the southwest is New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. The only part of Texas that...

So i finally got time to upload some of the progress pics I have to photobucket. I know its been some time since I updated this thread. Iv been working a lot of over time to pay for a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon with the wife. I have a of pics so I'll be posting them in groups to make...

I understand. I see lots of pics of people that live in the southwest regiment area, but I look at the roster and activity and see nothing. There are only 37 members on the Facebook at the time I post this reply. The forum is even more unorganized from what I see. 2 roster from 2 sets of...

I can't help but notice that it's been pretty quiet around here. Let's see what the Southwest is up to. Anyone going to cons, or any other events? Who might be up to hosting a gettogether now that it is summer? What are yall building and working on? For how many people live in...

Yes that's how I got the small lines. Some of the details I had to build up in lair. That ment rebuilding some parts. When I get home and not my phone I'll post some more pics on the process. You can see lots of pics on my Facebook.

I started this build about two weeks ago. Iv been reluctant to post it on here because the last build I still have not finished. This time my wife won't let me quit until I'm done with it. I'm also working on her a hunter costume but it wool be finished after this one. [/URL][/IMG] This...

I'm looking forward to seeing how much you improve from your first suit. Since the Mk 5 was one of the cleanist ones iv seen. I will admit iv used some of your techniques on my builds.
