Husband and wife custom spartans

[Spartan Devastator]

Today I pep'd out one of my wife's forearms

I managed to get my forearms completely glassed.

I also managed to get my wife's helmet completely glassed as well, gotta rondo the inside and then I can move on to the fun parts

Today I pep'd out one of my wife's forearms

Do you do all your wife's pep work while she's passed out asleep? Does she even know what you're doing to her while she's in bed!?

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Nah, it was Sunday, and she was all like "I don't have makeup on don't take a picture of me" so this was the best I could get. Lol

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Got the grenadier fully glassed

Also rondo'd the inside of the mrk VI

Get to move onto to the fun part of the helmets tonight, bondo and detailing!!!

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Look who my wife and I ran into today!

 

[TheRabbit]

Hey, that looks like the guy from the "...and I'm a mac" commercials.

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Well why yes, it is Justin Long

 

[dannny]

bardlebee!

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Got some of the fun stuff worked on last night.
little bit of bondo work on one of the helmets

Smoothing out the back ridge

Got alot done on the brim as well as the face of the helm

Still needs alot, but its coming along nicely!

Did I mention that out of all the halo helmets, this is my favorite one to work on?

 

[Spartan Devastator]

More progress tonight!!
I got the visor cut out of my grenadier helm today

It test fit very well and sits nicely on my head
Also managed to get some bondo work done on this as well

the back is looking smooth, but still alot to do on this helmet
Made alot more headway on my wife's helmet too

Overall they are both turning out very nice

Other good news, both lenses/visors shipped today, so when they get in it will be more of a spur to get more work done on these so I can get to that point.

I love that last shot of the helmets side by side...it totally feels like "his" and "hers" versions. It's awesome that you're building suits for the both of you!

 

[MikyVengeance]

Looks really good Nice Bondo work!

Well thank you! I'm shooting to complete the same pieces at a time together, so as it progresses we should be done at the same time. And its funny because, I say that, but you can clearly see whose helmet is getting more attention. Just goes to show how much I care about her and take more pride in something for her. We will see though, and I must say thanks to both of you for your comments, both of your builds are amazing!

 

[Mstruvmgc]

Looking good man
Dude you guys are lucky to meet justin long, he is hilarious

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Yeah he was a nice guy, he was in town promoting Obama

Got some more work done, and I must say, my wife's helm is looking amazing!

not as much work done on my own helm but its getting there

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Yea!! Both of my visors came in the mail today!

My wife picked a purrty color

I like the color of mine
Also I got the bondo work done on my wife's helm tonight

now its on to glazing and spot putty treatment before I put any primer on it

 

[Fxd2fght]

Everything is looking really good.

I've really been enjoying seeing the progress. Can't wait for the final result!

Quick question : Is it really necassery to rondo it if its fieberglased? Just asking since im thinking to skip the fieberglas on my helmet
And ur wife is lucky =D i really love the fact u doing it together!

 

[Spartan Devastator]

It all depends, I don't suppose its extremely necessary, but fiberglass leaves alot of sharp edges after resining so rondoing it covers that and cuts down on all that. If your like my friend Jerry(Chwvcc on here and the rpf) he would say rondo only of the inside would suffice. And I suppose that would be fine too but rondo by itself is brittle and if the helmet was dropped could shatter. So its all in your preference of how to do it, if your just going to cast it then I suppose rondo would be fine, but I say better safe than sorry, glass and rondo make it solid as a rock

And thanks, its not so much us working on it together as me doing all the work and her picking out the colors and choices of details. I don't mind though, if she looks as good in the armor as good as I make each piece look I will be happy.

And p.s., pigbenis was my favorite band member from Mushroomhead, that is if your name has anything to do with that and not just the first letter reversal

Ok i thought bout the solid beeing with that combo . thanks for agreeing with that part. ill spend that time for making it more solid .
I just needed another view point to be sure what to do and what not .

Well u are the first one who relates my name to this awesome band and no i do not only relate it cos of the letters i listened also to the band aswell ( but my pet in world of warcraft was named pig benis too ... )
guess its just a question of time till i have to rename myslef since ppl find it offensive :$
