Foam Halo infinite MK VII Build

[Laminate31]

this is my first time trying to post here so please excuse me if i posted in the wrong place or anything,

Anyways i am going to build a Mark vii suit for the next comic con stockholm
The suit will be 50/50 foam and 3d printed
Im using files from the armory here and the files by moe sizzlac on thingiverse
It is probably my sixth suit ive made but i want this to be the best one ive made so far so im going to give it more attention than the other ones

update: i 3d modeled a light in fusion and printed it, i also made a neck seal (still wip)

update: I started on the chestplate and I tried vacuum forming a visor but I used 3mm plexiglass but it was a bit too thick so i'm going to remake it with 0,5 mm petg plastic that I found online.

Looking good! Are you doing a flat visor or looking to vacuums form it? Also are you going to chrome?

Dude this looks amazing! Do you have any ideas for what weapons to make with this?

Thank you, I think i might do a halo infinite Ar ( using foam so i can make it attach to the back) and ive made a combat knife to sit on the chest piece

Do you have a vacuum form? That would be awesome! I've been looking at how to do that.

If you need help mounting the knife, I have the same model and can assist you with mounting it. Mine stays like a charm. It is completely detachable without any marks or visible attachment points, as shown in my photos without it.

Yeah i made a vacuum former with plywood, its not anything fancy but it works and it was free instead of the bought ones that are quite pricey
yes i would like to know how you attached you knife because im a bit scared i wont always want it on
