welcome aboard . looks like your off to a good start , rock on!

 

[Balthezar]

cool name. *has a thing for dragons* heh. really nice peping so far! Looks like you have most of the trouble-spots on the helmet started and looking good!

 

[Deathwasp]

Looks like a fine start! Good job starting on a high def helm rather than the low, you won't regret it.

Also, I think I had your profile pic on a calendar of mine. Is the The Crimson Shadow?

 

[dragonknight146]

Sorry I don't know the name of the picture. I just saw it online and liked it so I downloaded it.

You're off with a good start.


Every noob here already started on their armor even though they weren't a member yet, and i've been a member for a year and still got nothing

 

[dragonknight146]

Well I don't know about everyone else but as for me you can blame SkullCandyGirl (have no idea if I spelled that right). I was looking for a way to make a set of halo armor when I found her vid tut on a how to website and that brought me here. Where I found everything I needed to start and while looking around I liked how everyone was supportive of everyone else and thats when I decided to join when I could and thanks Adam for opening up registrations so I could do so ^^

hey TheSpartanMjolnir, i hear yeah on that one man lol. i still got nothing for armour as well and all the noobs i see are already showing me up !! haha

but yeah, folds so far look pretty nice. should look pretty slick when you get it all together man =D i take it, you are doing a straight up Mark VI ?

 

[dragonknight146]

yeah just the basic mark VI right now will do the more complicated stuff after i get back from anime expo in july

 

[dragonknight146]

Alright heres some update pics of my helmet. As you can see I finshed pepping it and plan to start to resin it later today.

cant wait to see you finish this. its going to be great

 

[dragonknight146]

Hi guys I'm thinking about using something unusual for the under armor and how it attaches to the armor. I want to use a set of coveralls and attach it to the armor by literally resining it to the armor. I'm not sure if its a good idea though or to use the traditional method so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

 

[dragonknight146]

Hi everyone sorry about the wait for the update but here it is now.

This is my progress so far. The helmet is resined and I finished the left shoulder.



A close up of the helmet. I think I used to much resin. ><



My inside and outside work areas. XD The helmet is the same one for both pictures.




And my captive audience lol. They watch me everytime i work on this stuff. They're my "Halo-fish" lol.



Thats all the updates I have for now. I'm going to try to post updates every week of my progress.

Happy armor building. (I have no idea where I got that lol)

Great start to the armor, the "Halo-fish" thing made me lol.

 

[dragonknight146]

Thanks I got a little less then 3 months left to get this thing done.

Thanks I got a little less then 3 months left to get this thing done.

Why do you only have 3 months? You should take your time.

 

[dragonknight146]

I want to wear it at a convention in LA 4th of july weekend

 

[stickylor]

This is a great start! If you want to finish it by 4th of July
you should be able to do it with hard work and dedication
it took me 2 months to finish my armor but I didn't bondo it
didn't have money nor time but I'm building a 2nd set now.

 

[Carpathia]

Looking great so far DragonKnight! I'm building an ODST suit right now. Same sort of deadline, trying to get it done before Halo 3: ODST comes out. I can't wait to start my Mk VI though. Keep up the great work!

 

[Wrathchild]

Looks pretty good from the pics so far man, Anyway to get a bigger pic? When I click on them I get "The action that you were trying to perform has failed"
I've got faith in ya for making your deadline
