hey guys, new here so forgive me if it takes a while to adjust to all of the posting restrictions (how to do clicky pics, number of pics per post, etc). Two weeks ago i started my master chief MK VI build. I have scaled everything, and pep'd the shoulders/biceps (hd), forearms (regular), helmet (first piece and for practice), and chest (decided after first coat of resin to scrap it for an HD one, but at least i know the size is right).
I've posted this build log on my home forum (fx-sabers), but no one is interested in my progress there. here are some pics of my progress.

Just a few assorted progress pics. again, i don't know the rules yet. i'm going to start the HD chest tonight and then move to either the codpiece or the real helmet when i finish. i have a 3d clear and a mirroed gold visor on the way.
I bought a bike helmet and ripped out the padding for my mkvi helmet. it almost fits too well. as far as electronics, i'm planning an ipod-type dock in the backpack (obviously ripped apart so it fits), shield lights, possibly high powered leds (luxeon rebel) for the headlamps, and fans (obviously). voice amp might work its way in as well.
I've worked with electronics (dang small ones too) for the last two years, so wiring up a suit of armor should be cake.
Scored a sixsixone vapor suit for $60 a few days ago, and i'm hoping a large fits me. it should, but you never know.
I'll keep my progress updated as i move along, wish me luck!
