Hello my name is Karmine Potan and here’s the modification and repainting of Disguise Master Chief Infinite Ultra Prestige, you usually get it from Amazon so you going to expect the armor pieces thin, the sizing maybe incorrect, as I got my package everything went well the armor is in good condition I really liked the helmet but the colours between the helmet and armor are different shade of green. Yes you are going to expect my bad English, I will do my best writing it down so you guys can understand well.
I added new armor pieces, but some lacked biceps coverage. The codpiece mimics the Halo 4/5 Ultra Prestige. I crafted it from foam using pepakura files from heroesworkshop.com, as I couldn’t find Infinite Master Chief templates. The oversized codpiece and stomach armor needed trimming to fit. Biceps were easier to make; I attached shoulders with leftover foam.
To repaint the armor, I used regular primer (Plasti Dip works too) and military olive green and black spray paint. The process was simple: prime, mask, and paint. For weathering, I used a metallic Sharpie for chipping and scratches, then applied a dark wash with diluted chalkboard paint.
For straps, I glued elastic bands to the thigh armor and made a harness to avoid using a belt. I connected shoulders/biceps to the torso similarly. For the undersuit, I couldn’t find ribbed fabric pants, so I bought black pants and attached them to shin and thigh, and forearms to biceps. The shoes were too long, so I shortened them, added elastic bands to secure the heels, and used extra foam to prevent cracking.
I posted the progress on discord server, and here’s the finished product, and there are minor adjustments that need to changed, and modify.
I appreciate to people on discord server that gives me advice, product suggestions, and alternatives.
