thats impossible :O

 

[Jabenbetz]

Nope, thats the full size in all its glory =D
Halo 2 and 3 had slightly smaller needlers, But the original needler was a good solid size. If you need proof, Play through Truth and Reconciliation and watch for when Keyes picks up the needler.

Sir that is some sweet looking foam work you have going there. I can't wait to see how all the pieces come together.

Eva foam mats.. and then carved using a dremel to get the detail and "folded" skin look. i wish i could find a vioce changer for her but she will just have to make due.

well now have both feet carved and first coat of paint is drying. now i have to do the carving on the arms. the under suit is dyed and drying. ugg the day is going by too quickly.

wat if you give her an mp3-player and mobile speakers.
and you put sounds of grunts on the mp3

If you have an iPhone, you can get an app that has halo sounds, some of which are grunts talking, screaming, getting owned, etc.

wow that grunt is a grunt of pure epic awsome awesomeness!!!

Couple suggestions:

1: Put some confetti things in the back of the head so there will be real grunt birthday party =DD

2: Make her run around yelling "Kill the Demon!!!!!!"

funny thing is she has been running around practicing the grunt run..

ok i now have the feet done..

now trying to get the arms painted. so humid here it is taking FOREVER for the paint to dry..

 

[thorn696]

Feet look epic. As for paint drying use hair dryer low temp setting, High fan.
