Hello 405th!
Long time lurker, finally joined in October and started building. I love how supportive everyone here is, which is probably the only reason I had the courage to post.
I've decided to go with foam for my Mk VI build. There was a lot of trial and error before I felt I had anything worth posting.
So far, I have the helmet, cod piece and and a forearm done.
Funny story, I ordered the visor from the US (Canadian here, eh?) and found out my Paypal account mysteriously added Montreal, Quebec as my address when I live in Ontario. So...I was panicking and a little heartbroken as I was really looking forward to getting the visor! I was talking to the gentleman who a makes/sells them and we were trying to work something out. I have an old mail box that the post office hasn't delivered to in years (they phased out single driveway mailboxes for the communal group boxes) and noticed that the flag was up...Someone had redirected my visor to me! So, of course I had to put it in just to see what it would look like:
Then, I put the helmet on and ran around the house with my dog, who happens to be name "Master Chief".
Next, I am going to be sanding and filling in the cracks and then coating it in Plasti-dip.
Thoughts/comments are welcome!
