My Mark 5, made it all in my dormroom with minimal tools/cash. Its part fiberglass, part plastic. Working chest light, it is a series of leds that go from green to yellow to red depending on the status of my suit batteries. As you can see, I have new AAs in it at the time of these photos (extremely handy, and good for show) I also rigged a switch so when I get hit it bounces to red, then back up to green (get in cover!) The helmet was built around the visor, once I found the right one, ithas working side lamps, and a circulation fan. And my favorite, the ammo belt that was in the first game, I made it functional, you never know how valuable pockets are until you don't have any .
Well here it is. Not to good, I don't really have any detail at all but I guess its passable for my first try. I hope you like.
Drum-Roll please do do do.... do do do.... do do do
These aren't Halo related, but Darkesword did it too. They are Star Wars costumes, first is Vader which I started in 2004 and then Luke from Empire, which I started last year. I don't have the Vader anymore, sold it to Desolate.
I forgot I even had this.. but here's a vid of a suit I made specifically for this project, I'm not wearing it though.
It takes a few minutes before it shows up in the vid... the vid itself is kinda' funny though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJw9sbOTsc
