Over the past few months, I’ve been posting pictures of the Cortana costume I have been working on for myself, but I guess it’s about time I post some pictures of the other costume project I have had in the works. For the past few months I’ve been busy making a suit of Halo 4 Armor for my husband. I got really excited when I first found the Pepakura method of making armor, thinking “Hey! I can do that!” When people started posting armor modeled after Master Chief’s new Halo 4 look, I decided to just go ahead and give it a go. It’s been an adventure hunting down all the different armor pieces as well as figuring out the best way to make armor. I may not be perfect at it, but I’d say it looks pretty good for a first attempt.
I'd like to say a special thank you to Kingrahl, Monkeyfuj, and Harnor for the Pepakura files they have shared on the 405th website.
* I decided to use old t-shirts instead of fiberglass cloth. Why pay money for cloth when I have a whole closet full of shirts I could cut up? I can't say how it compares to using fiberglass cloth, but it worked well for my needs.
More pictures to come soon. I just finished making the helmet and shin pieces.

Especially with as awesome as this pep is. We'll be here for you when you're ready to get it up and running again.
