Pics and a vid AHOY!
Okay, so I've been busy all weekend, making Recon 1.0 and 2.0 ready and wearable for the Launch of Halo: Reach.
Again, these are not super awesome fantastic works, these are just some throw togethers because I felt, since this is Bungie's last Hurrah, I would have some fun at the release. (first time doing so).
Okay, video first as always.
PIC TIME!
I decided that buying 2 helmet inserts would be too over budget for what I was trying to do. So, I found at Walmart, this:
It is a memory-foam neck pillow.
Here it is, out of the package.
Out of the fuzzy stuff, and partially cut up.
Split up, these turn into the cheek/side pieces.
Glued inside Recon 1.0 and 2.0 (both together in second pic) you can see I made a pad for the top by cutting a slice from the middle section (this can be done with scissors or an exacto, I used both at times).
Visors!! I can has them!! Here's a little explanation that I did not go over in the video. After cutting out the shape via 2 ltr bottle plastic, I then grabbed a spare anti-static bag that I had laying around and then cut the shape of the visor (used the plastic as a stencil) and after gluing the visor in place, glued the static bag shiny part over. So there you have it. Shiny visor on a budget, AKA FREE.
So there you have it, lemme know what ya'll think of my quickie Recons.
