Small notice: We've got a theme week in our school in about 2 weeks for our gradutaion, and childhood heroes is one of the themes, so Master Chief instantly came to my mind. Problem was: I only had about 3 weeks of total time. Thankfully the theme week got pushed back by a week and childhood heroes is on a Friday, so that means extra time for me. That sadly still doesn't fix my slight problem: I have absolutely ZERO experience with armor building, let alone painting it or vac froming visors or whatever, so basically what you see me doing here is all just random stuff someone does if he doesn't have a clue of what he's doing, great, am I right?
First few parts
Printing the torso pieces
Getting reinforcement from a friend of mine
Printed "a few" more pieces
Starting to fix the god awful torso with dpot putty
Holy hell that thing is actually huge (man I'd like to get told that for once)
Starting to prime everything with filler primer
Cutting battle damage into the armor with an angle grinder
Propping Master Primer up on a redneck armor stand (we called him Hubert)
Hubert fell over armor in shambles A lotta hot glue went into fixing these parts, actually insane. Every part that was on Hubert somehow snapped or tore between layers or joints. Not a fun time
Got Chief fixed up and did some more battle damage, first layer of black on the chestplate is on. I'm not gonna sand it down again anyways, am I right? (foreshadowing)
After I realized the frame for my vac table V1 was too big for our oven me and bro had to rebuild the entire vac setup lmao
Dyed with iDye Poly Orange
Butchered with mirror foil, anyone got some tips on how I could attach it to the visor so it won't look this crappy?
Chief.zip
Testing the main green tone (RAL 6013) and weathering on the gloves. Don't worry, I gotta unstick the hand protectors because I gotta use different gloves. Man I really am not planning this through huh?
Warcrime of the day: I'll put a detachable grapple hook on the Halo 3 MKVI
In sun I'd say so far I made good progress, considering it's only been about two weeks or so, I'll keep updating!
Oh yeah and also, before you wonder what is hanging around MC's neck when he was in Hubert, it's a dogtag by armydogtags I believe, I entered the Chief's values (imperial and metric) and put a Cortana chip on the chain that my friend printed:
