Looks fantastic so far! Keep it up :)

Ok, here's a couple of (not very good) pictures of the helmet insides and electronics.

Well its been some time since I updated this or did any work on the suit (9 months!!!) but now that university is finished for the summer I can finally get back to it :D Like I said there hasn't been much in the way of progress since the last update, however the electronics have been fitted to...

Just another quick pic, here's me with the parts that are painted and ready for wearing:

Thanks for the kind comments. HistoryFox - I bought the electronics from a store called Maplin, but I think they only have shops in the UK, all the electronics I bought should be available easily enough in any electronics or computer store :) iainsnodgrass - What I have are visor inserts...

Thanks for the comments all :) To hedtrip and Prettyfloralbonnet, I used 2 part epoxy glue to attack the straps to the belt, it seems to hold well ;) Some helmet progress now, I've been adding the floating faces using plastic sheet, with a little alteration to the back of the helmet. Just need...

Good luck, the helmet pep is looking good so far :)

Thanks Dh748 :) Your work looks good to me, some nice clean pep ;) Prettyfloralbonnet - I thought I would have to make tabs to keep the halves lined up, but the elastic seems to hold them in place perfectly, its pretty strong and thick stuff :)

Its been a while since the last update, so here's some more progress. I finally decided on a way to attach the halves of the shins together, by using elastic webbing. It holds the halves together well, while still allowing them to be seperated to put the piece on. I also put the waist...

Hi all, some more progress today. The codpiece is now finished aside from weathering, and I can soon get round to making the entire belt section. The helmet is also coming along slowly, I'm hoping it won't be too long before it is ready.

Hey all, finally some more progress to show. The helmet has been given its first coat of primer, there is still a lot of work left to do however. I hope to get the helmet finished soon, along with the codpiece and a handplate.

Hi all, apologies for the lack of recent progress, I have been busy studying for a university exam for the past week. Thanks for all the kind comments :) Soccerballa - I'm 5'7" (a particularly short Master Chief, I know:P), I believe I scaled the thighs to be 33cm high, however I would say...

Quick couple of pictures with the thigh and the front of the shin on: And thanks for the advice Sutekhian, I might give that a try :)

Thanks LongShot! I have to admit that I've frequently used your build progress pictures for inspiration for my suit, you really have made an excellent set of armour :)

Another update on the thigh, I've been working on the black wash for it (good tip Matronoke :) ), I'm not sure if I have overdone it or haven't done enough, all opinions welcome :) I'm going to paint on some silver chips along the edges too. I also made the inner thigh ridges from foam, I'm...
