Hey man, help a bro out. I've been wondering how you go about making the armor look effectivley weathered. I tried with mine but I think you did a much better job! Let me know, thanks :)

Hahahaha. You know what, you're right. Why settle for less? Hell, I think I'll go for the Scorpion with full firing functionality. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that, right? This is the model I think I'm gonna make: I actually have acquired a pair of really powerful rare earth...

So... want to teach me to build with foam? Haha, honestly, this looks really good. How's' the strength of the foam? Will the foam deflections caused by wearing it cause the paint to chip off or anything?

Hey there, I saw your foam build thread in the noob forum and... HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD WITH FOAM?!?! It's mind boggling. I messed around with foam just a wee bit to see if it would be a viable strategy for building my Mark VI armor, and I decided to just be hardcore and go with pepakura (not...

Hey, I just wanted to say THANKS for the awesome visor tutorial. My visor and helmet turned out awesome! I never got as far as etching in the detail lines, but that's the next step for me now that the stress of finishing it for Halo-ween is over.

Be sure to have someone take pictures :) I'll definitely want to see the suit!

SOLID WORK, OAK MAN. My favorites are the bus pic and MC getting some milk. Too funny. GOOD WORK! It's nice to see the project go from start to finish! Too many of these don't ever make it to the final stage. Ready to troll downtown together yet? :)

Thanks! It was apparently on Reddit too. I'm not a huge Reddit-er, but I was told by friends about it. Never thought I'd see myself on "the front page of the internet" as they say, lol. Next step is to build a Magnum. Haha... help??

Throw you out? WHY ON EARTH? My profs spent like the first 5 minutes of class asking me about my armor, lol. It was a nice distraction.

Thanks vshore!! I wore my Halo armor to classes on Halo-ween. Here's a pic someone took. It made it to the 4th page of Reddit, apparently! Not too shabby!

Yep, Fox, the next step for me is to create a weapon! I'm thinking a good old-style battle rifle from H3. Would compliment the suit well. Of course, I'll have to create the Magnum as a sidearm. Quick side-question: once I start making those weapons, should I create a new WIP thread for...

More pictures: The kids in the picture are one of my friends' kids. I took them out trick-or-treating, and they loved the costume!

For these next pictures, sorry about my roommate's not-so-hot picture-taking skills... I know these next few are kinda crappy but I think they get the point across! Very excited to have it finished finally. Ready for Halloween tomorrow! Also, I will be wearing these to class, for sure...

More pics! UPDATE: FINISHED THE ARMOR (for now)!!! Here are the pics! Pics also include shots of the painting process, etc. Here are the boot pieces. I used semi-elastic black fabric to bridge the gap between the toe and ankle pieces. Works really well and gives me lots of...

Update: Finally got all pieces primed. I'm also FINALLY done shopping for everything that I need to complete this project! Spent the last $100 chunk that i'll be spending on this in a while today. I've found this project to be a hella lot more expensive than I had first anticipated, but it's...
