So the jump wings have arrived, and I had a couple pins made, two lapel ONI pins and one UNSC badge for the garrison cap. On a side note, I've recently been let go from my current job, so while I'm bummed I won't have that halloween party to wear this to, I'll find something good! Pleased with...

Unfortunately, the problem is with the 5-7 days it'd take to transfer debit funds to a paypal account, then the 9-16 day shipping time :/

Aach, can't believe I missed that....thanks for the tips. I loved the look of the CAMS uniforms in Forward Unto Dawn, that's definitely another project I've got in mind. I want to thank you for your honesty and the heads up. I hadn't even considered it that way, it just hadn't occurred to me...

So I had really been wanting to do up a set of ODST armor for Halloween, had attempted a Mjolnir MK VI helmet previously. That project was eventually scrapped, but not without quite a bit of knowledge gained. However with the daily requirements for things like eating, sleeping, and going to...

Does it ever! I'm gonna start off with the helmet, see where my resource and patience levels are at that point. Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, I know there's so many variants in the MJOLNIR permutations now, but THIS is the one that just screams "HALO" to me! Really appreciate the advice...

Mini-update! Cut out the visor. Decided to remove the visor widgets, I'll add them in later. Took a big breath and started the bondo, not as bad as I'd expected.

Been a crazy couple of weeks, a lot of overtime at work, and had our power knocked out for 6 days thanks to tropical storm Arthur. NS power pretty much dropped the ball for the whole province, but local fire depts setup water and charging stations everywhere, kudos to them for helping us all...

Thank you! What's the best way to avoid warping? yeah, I got a little bit lazy with the fiddly pieces, can't stand those tiny folds :/ figure i'll be able to smooth the worst bits out when I bondo. Not sure about the weight of the cardstock, was standard walmart stuff and I've long since...

Hello 405th! Been around here for a while, but this is the first time I've unlazied myself enough to finish an entire pep. This here is your garden-variety Mark VI helm. Doesn't look spectacular, but I feel a sense of accomplishment for getting through the tedious part! Gonna give it a couple...

That's exactly what I did! Slap on a coat or three of some fiberglass resin, spray paint, and attach to mechanic's gloves. Voila instant MJOLNIR gloves.
