This is one I'm doing just for me. I purchased my Locus Helm cast from Armory Props. I've added the pictures of my completed Recon chest Pep. I will have recruit Forearms and Shins, a modified version of Master Cheif's shoulders, and Wars thighs.
This is just an update on all of my builds. I have been living in Spain for the last 7 months with nothing to do but build pepakura. Forgive me for having not done anything more than assembly, as I didnt want to be reprimanded for doing bondo in a hotel room.
First up, my custom Halo themed revolver. When It is done it will have UNSC logos engraved in the grips and Forerunner designs on the barrel and cylinder. Its a 6 shot .50 Beowulf. I had to make the Cylinder custom as the original was not proportional to the barrel.
Next is my slice build MA-5C. This is going to be a test bed for some interchangeable parts I want to work into my future designs.
So I am finally home from deployment and I have received my Locus Helm from Armory Props. In addition to throwing a base coat on my jaw I sharpied in the shape my eyes will be.

I also have begun building a armor mannequin. His name is Frank the Tank.
Frank's frame: 1/2 inch PVC
Frank as he is now, incomplete but able to balance his weight by himself.
Sorry it has been so long since an update. I took on a new leadership position at work and it has me pulling my hair out. 2 gallons of bondo down and the project is coming along slowly. It doesnt look like I will make my Halloween goal.
How's this build coming? Did you use the fathi5 file for the chest? I'm trying to figure out how to fibreglass some of it (like the thruster pack, shoulder bits etc.) and can't find ideas anywhere!
Looking good Axmaxwell! I really like the choices you made with the Locus helmet, Recon chest piece, recruit forearms & shins, etc... This should definitely set you apart from the rest! Keep up the great work and can't wait to see progress photos.
