thanks

i can now finally say my halo 3 radio pack is now finished. fidlocks are working grate though the draw strings will need replacing with longer ones and I still need to sort out a radio track to play on it while at my next con which will be mcm may. thanks to everyone who helped and liked my...

while I waited for the fidlock buckles to arrive I started work on the marine Pouches for my phone and wallet. annoyingly I mixed up the colours for the pad where the magnets on on the wallet pouch which and is taking a lot of will power to not fix it as all glued and no one is going to notice...

thanks I really appreciate that.

another update on my radio pack which is very close to being completed. so the radio pack has some Pouches which i was originally going to sew myself but decided to go the arguably easier and faster route of wrapping fabric around EVA foam which works out just as well i think. i also came up...

radio pack is really coming together now but still a lot to do. all 3 modules are now glued together and Weathered though there is still a black wash to do

thanks I think it's a bad connection as it would flicker when moving the leds around but I didn't really want to mess around fixing it but the circuit is removable so i can fix it at a later date

ok so it's been a while since the last update to the radio pack as I decided to prioritise the main halo 3 marine armour for megacon london in January but now its finished I'm back to work on the radio pack so with a new Soldering kiting got to work implementing a solution to the led light...

Looks grate so far especially with it being free handed. This is a dream costume I've wanted to do for a while but have other suits to do to improve my skill level. I look forward to see your progress

I'll probably get a pack of resistors with different values as you suggested, there's not much space to add anymore leds anyway I'm already having trouble fitting it all into the radio pack. I'll definitely check out tinkerCAD, got to be better than Google sketch up which has been the only CAD...

Wow I was expected a "well there's your Problem" answer and you went above and beyond I really appreciate your help. I looked/researched into resistors before (made my thinker box hurt), never even knew the number of resistors could be reduced to just one like you suggested though. tbh I was...

I'm having issues with my led circuit for my h3 radio pack. For some reason the marked row of leds keep blowing when I switch it on. The blown leds have both been the top and bottom ones but the middle is always fine but all are now blown in that row meaning I have to once again replace them...

Buttons have now been glued in (not square which bugs my ocd a bit) just need to get all the lights to somehow be in the middle of each button. I was planning on having these red panels have leds too but I could not get them to work so I decided to just add some red plastic to the diffuser...

Thanks it probably would be ok as its fairly contained and the pack shouldn't be too heavy but better safe than sorry. I know about bumping at a con, made my odst pack too big and I felt like a pinball at mcm london so i learnt my lesson there

quick update: I have wired up the leds for the radio pack's buttons which thankfully work, I was so worried that I went through all this effort and for it not to work though the yellow ones are a bit dim but don't really want to sort that out as it works now and I don't want to change that...
