Oooh ok! I currently don’t have access to a PC since my pepakura access was through a friend’s pc in college, so I’ll see if there’s any way I could make my own 3D model with a program that can run on Mac! And epic, I’ll give that a look! Thank you!

Hello guys! I haven’t been on in a while since the halo 3 mjolnir armor I finished during the beginning of quarantine is currently being held by one of my friends during the summer, so I haven’t been able to start painting :( however, I am thinking of starting up another cosplay while back...

Damn holy **** this looks cool as hell!! I love the detailing you did on the chest, and all of the props that you’ve shown off are so intricate and well made! I love how functional the trauma kit is as well, every little touch so far is just really really awesomely intricate. Keep up the good...

Hello! I’m currently getting my room packed up in preparation to move back home for the summer from my college dorm room, and I have a question for you guys: how do you ship or transport your halo armor when you fly? I was considering getting a footlocker box to put my armor in, but apparently...

Ok, so here are some closeups for the pieces I haven’t posted closeups of yet! The chest piece is a little messy in some places, but otherwise I think it’s pretty ok!

Hell yeah! I can get some better pictures tomorrow! And thank you!

Hello! I finished the full suit about a week ago, and I’m now making sure all the gaps are filled and that everything is clean and ready to go for painting! I’m pretty nervous about how the paint job is going to turn out, but I’m sure it’ll be good!

Hey guys! Long time no see, I’ve been pretty occupied with the end of my winter semester and the beginning of my online spring semester, courtesy of covid19... While self quarantine is kind of nerve wracking, I’ve still been making some progress! I finished both of the lower and upper arm...

ok, thanks for the advice! my codpiece will clip on and off once i glue the buckles on, so that'll make things easier in that regard.

I guess I'll pay the extra 5 dollars or so to get a zipper on there, then! For the two part undersuit, do you happen to know if he's working from a zentai suit, or completely sewing an undersuit from the ground up? I guess I'll head over to his threads and see if i can find out what he's doing ...

Yup, it's Spartan gear... I was planning to get a zentai suit and then add onto it with foam, but now I'm not so sure because I don't want to have to take EVERYTHING off to go. Considering that I'm going to be wearing it in the middle of summer in Austin, Texas, I want to avoid dehydration as...

Hello! This feels like a weird question to ask, but how the hell do you guys go to the bathroom when you're all suited up?? I just got horrified by the idea of desperately needing to take a crap but having to completely take off all my gear in order to do so... What's the average work-around for...

OH ALSO another question, since I’ve been struggling with this: what’s the best way to keep armor from shifting around/ falling down? I have heard that Velcro works pretty ok but I wanna make sure I know I’m going about it all right before I buy things

Oooh! Those look awesome.. gonna do my best to implement that into my shoes and get rid of the chunky plastic I’ve got on there now asap! Would I be able to get these at a Lowe’s? Or would I have to go online/ a different store?

The front and back bit fit fine, but I have trouble with getting it on and how it rests on my waist. I may have just been printing too big and too small, but as of rn it’s the parts connecting the front to the back that are currently being weird. I think I’ll mess around with size a bit more...
