This is awesome, there aren't many finished Halo 4 pep suits out there. Nice clean pep work man.

By the way I think it's Mk VI not VII.

Indeed. Chief is still wearing the same Mark VI armor he had on at the end of Halo 3, it has just been artistically reinterpreted by 343's character design crew to make it "theirs." Even the Spartan IVs are still using Mark VI (technically Mk. VI 2.0). Mark VII has not yet seen the light of day, at least not in video game form.
Sorry to nitpick over details. It's one of my pet peeves.

Nice pep work, good luck on the rondoing! But are you going to rondo the cardstock or are you resining your work first? :confused

Ya, I saw it hadn't really been done before, that's why I went for it. Thought it might stand out a bit
Ah, I see what you mean. I never actually knew the story behind the change in armor, whether it was a new version or just a different look. I'll change my title, thanks guys
Thank you!
At the moment I only have a shoulder rondoed and drying. I'm testing to see how well it holds up on its own, However if it warps I'll be putting a coat of resin on before rondoing. I let you know how it works out. Thank you, I can't wait either!

Thank you!
Oh wow, I've never thought of doing it that way. I'll keep tabs on this, as I see myself possibly doing this in the future. :cool

Definitely look into it, I've had a lot of success with rondo. Also, it eliminates the big mess and slivers from fiberglassing
There was no warping of the shoulder piece, however I think for the chest piece i'm going to put a coat of resin, due to the size and complexity of it.

Alright, thank you. I have been using resin plus rondo, but I'll try your way of putting rondo straight on the cardstock without resin first.

Alright, after some more testing, only using rondo works on the smaller pieces, but not on larger pieces. If it's bigger than say, a forearm you should put resin on it first.

Update:
Hey guys, long time no update! I have been working, and here are some pics:
Here's the inside, all rondoed
I've been focusing on the helmet, and worked on getting the upper middle small detail area in the back looking nice, I'm rather satisfied with that one part.
Front View
I've also been working on the right side, an so far i'm seeing good results.
Sadly it's really cold up here in Oregon right now, makes working difficult
More progress to come!

Thanks man, and I took a look at your project, you're not doing too shabby yourself!
My First post has the links to where you can find all the files that I used.
You are doing a great job! Keep it up!

Thanks man
And the height isn't all it's cracked up to be, hitting door frames is rather painful

Thanks man, and don't worry, I'm sure yours will turn out great!
Update!
I've made a bit of progress on the helmet, her's some pics to show:
As you can see I smoothed the upper right side of the helmet, and threw some primer on there to get a good look. I'm really liking it
Here's that side from another angle, and you can see what I did with the dial-thingy on the back of his helmet. Finally got it the way I like it lol
Here's a closeup of the dial. If anyone wants a tutorial on how I made it the way it is, let me know and I'll be sure to post one.
And here's a picture of the other side for comparison. Big difference, as you can tell! lol
I've still got plenty of work to do, more progress and pics to come!
