The thighs and biceps look like muckle to me too Mac. Everybody loves a good Frankensuit!

@richie- I'm flattered man. Cheers richie, and awesome job again!

@Zenzeigan- Try to be little less negative and critical in your posts man.

All we have is a bunch of different ways to make things. It's the skill of the user that determines the final overall quality.

Just hoping I wasn't going crazy... >.<

Looks good. Keep it up!

 

[Ryu 62]

That's awesome!

 

[rvb4life]

one more suit......scratch that down- one more spartan ready for battle

 

[CPU64]

Nice!
Now I think I'm not the only one here with a super glossy suit anymore. Yay!

 

[WarHead9705]

Oooh, oohl, nice!!! Very nice job on the suit!

 

[n00bcrusha]

WOWZERS!!! That suit would make adam proud.

 

[Zaso117]

why does everyone treat adam like a god? hes the site admin who happens to have good armor making skills, he doesent have "superpowers" or anything, why cant he just be treated like a person

well, i'm pretty sure he meant it in a different way, saying that adam would be proud of the certain muckle parts, since adam's suit was based, not entirely though, off of muckle pieces.

Richie: I applaud you! it's very hard to tell which parts are which. The paint job is especially nice, as it really personalizes those muckle pieces, and makes them unique. Nice work!

yes doc, i was joking, ok i wasnt, but after studying pep suits it seems i underestimated it

1. Adam made the site.
2. Adam is one of the many pioneers in Halo costuming. I don't see YOU buying a statue and making a wearable suit out of it.
3. Adam actually has a suit of armor unlike someone I know... Oh, yeah, you!
4. Adam DOES have superpowers.
5. Adam has his name in all 5 points.

I think the gloss on the suit looks cool. Looks better than a plain matte suit in the light.

[tipper]

Suit looks great!

What did you use to get the glossy effect?

I'd imagine he used Gloss Paint, a few good layers of it as well.

 

[paradoxdj]

amazing job dude!

I'd imagine he used Gloss Paint, a few good layers of it as well.

yes he most likely used a gloss paint, or he used a glossy varnish (or what ever it's called, the thing that you put over paint to protect it) i'm using gloss paint for my armor but he did use some thing to boost the gloss a bit cuz mine doesn't look quite so glossy

two pack car paint clear over base and a good quality metallic is on there 10 coats.

Wow, thats really REALLY good...That's cool that it was made using Pep and cardstock (well I'm assuming). Yours turned out WAY better than mine last year...so good job

(return of Spartan1105..the guy that made the crappiest armor from last year)

Anyways, I got a few questions (since I've been gone for a year, and this is the first post I looked at):
1. Where'd you get your visor from? (cause mine was too big)
2. Did you resin and fiber glass it? (cause its so shiny)
3. How long'd it take you max? (took me a month to make a crappy one)

Sorry if I asked a question that was asked before, I'm too lazy to check the posts.

 

[consty1]

The armor looks fantastic man! Abso-frikin-lute Bad A#%! I'd be proud to wear that rig anywhere, anytime!
Way to go!
