Crit my armor

[Yodajammies]

So I'm scrambling to finish my armor by friday (first HALOween party) and I'd like to know what you cats think of it.

Suggest how I can improve / make BR's helm look like trash/ etc.

Come get some!

nice shoulder pads, thats what I'm working on at the moment and if they came out that well id be happy

 

[drgon47]

Thats looking really good.

 

[Yodajammies]

yeah that left shoulder is the only part of my armor that is even half passable. Spent way too long on those and they STILL aren't smooth. *sigh*

Helmet looks pretty good. The vents look great too. I would suggest adding a visor though. I like the bicep with bondo best. You should try to add some LEDs if possible and a helmet liner. And then add death rays that come out of the top LEDs.

 

[Yodajammies]

yeah I figured my visors would be here today. It'll be interesting to see how a silver plate looks on these guys.

LeDS probably won't be integrated before halo-ween, no time.

Aw, man... that looks like crap...

Kidding, just kidding! lol

Seriously, that looks good, Yoda. It has a bit of a rough look to it, but in my opinion that helps add to the "realism" of it; makes it appear as though it's been through at least a few close encounters, heh heh. The weathering contributes to that as well. I like that.

Btw, what did you use for the side-front vents on the helmet? That wire loom I've heard some people mention? If so, I'm still having a difficult time trying to find that sort of thing here...

As for wiring LEDs into the helmet, I plan on doing the same thing once I'm far enough along with my own build (almost done the helmet, so I clearly won't have the rest of the armour ready for HALOween *sigh*). Have you thought of incorporating the switch(es) into the design? That's what I intend to do on mine. When finished, you won't even be able to tell where the switches are...

that looks alot better then my armor so far

 

[SPARTAN II]

Yours and mine both... my helmet's in the final stages of completion build-wise, so nowhere near painted yet...

 

[BattleLlama]

That looks awesome...is it actually made out of metal? Because it sure looks like it.

Spartan 2 - The front vent parts are cut out of a wire bundler. You could prolly get some at home depot or office depot.
