He was hooked. Said the Cosplayers were his favorite part of the whole experience. I figure I will put in the research time and we can make the build together for him. I love crafting and he is the idea man.

Hey I remember you from Outpost, your armor looked great! So glad you made your first post!
 
Thanks! I'm going to be working on seeing if I can replicate the same finish using foam. I learned on Saturday that my current armor isn't very practical for long-term wear.
You should checkout the build thread of ExCeLLuR8 if you want to do a foam Mk VI, it may be the best one out there.
 
Hi everyone! I just finished out 3 days at Halo Outpost in Chicago and really loved seeing everyone’s cosplays! I’d really love to get into it myself and figured the 405th would be the best place to start!
