1st Build First 3D Printed Armor! - HALO: INFINITE Mk VII

[FLEX TAPE]

THE HELMET IS PRINTING!!! The print didn't stick well at the top part of the helmet so it had a whole section that is messed up and not smooth but I didnt see that until recently so I'm just going to let it finish and use some bondo or wood filler to fix the problem area. Should look pretty good besides that!

OK THE HELMET IS FINISHED AND IT FITS PERFECTLY!!!! Also I dont know where to find a visor that will fit...

Buy plexi, put it in hot water, lay on curved surface, profit.

Its actually the Fortnite master chief model that i took the helmet off and put the Mk VII helmet on and did a retexture to!

AND BOYS DO I HAVE SOME AWESOME NEWS! So I had this idea to buy the halo infinite Mk VII kids costume so I could see if the visor would fit in my helmet and thought I could use the costume for the techsuit. It just arrived today and I was shocked that it actually fit perfectly in the helmet!!! And it looks beautiful! I need to fix the blue paint on the front of the helmet on top because I really messed it up but other than that I am very satisfied with my first ever homemade helmet!!!

Ok so I am back after a couple of months of lost motivation and lack of money for filament! While trying to rescale the armor to acquire a better look and fit, I ran into some issues where the armor would look strange and disproportionate on my body. Life got kind of busy and then I paused production on the armor. But I am happy to say that I found a way to work around the issues (I think) and decided to change up some armor pieces a bit! So this is the progress on the fit so far.

I'm planning on do the whole armor set as the Mk VII instead of Chiefs Mk VI GEN III.
