Emile Suit Scratchbuild

[Spartan 270]

I took an interest recently in creating Emile's armor. However, I began to wonder how I could create the visor? Also keeping the goal in mind, create a non toxic armor. I eventually came up with the idea of a simple paper mache balloon. This small idea is what created the following pictures.

Helmet didn't really turn out as planned. I was trying to make the visor looked cracked in a way. And the skull didn't really turn out that well also. Slightly at a morale degrade, but I'll see what I can do to fix it. Most likely I will probably re paint the visor and just re paint the skull. Also, I really need to get some padding on the inside of the helmet because it is extremely shaky. The slightest movement will cause the momentum to move the helmet.

bings joy to my heart when I see people make stuff out of cardboard. It reminds me of when I was in kindergarten and would take the small building blocks and build a castle then the bully would come and knock it down but I would just rebuild and rebuild. Nice work.

nice, that stuff looks really cool. especially the helmet.

Realizing I won't have enough time to complete the full suit, I re painted my Mk V(B) suit with the color scheme as the world premiere trailer noble six. Overall, I ended up making the Emile armor pieces just attachments that can be added or removed from the Mk V suit. Still missing the grenade belt and other details. Hopefully I can get some work on it next week. Pics time.

and a little something else I've been working on :cool

The shoulders were photoshopped in this pic for the purpose of me visualizing how big I have to make them relative to the chest piece.

Accuracy aside, this is a killer suit! These are the types of builds that deserve attention... sure, it's not a a game-accurate Emile, but the work you've put into this and the creativity, This is pretty much as good as it'll get!
