Congratulations on Elite status, definitely one of, if not THE, best Mk V costume I've seen. Can't wait to see photos of you wearing it. :cool

 

[JUSTINIAN 117]

Wow! I made it to the Elite Showcase!
Thanks for everyone's support through this long process. I don't think I would have made it without you guys.

I was able to put it on and take pictures today... I'll let them do the talking.

Just a small photo shoot. This was my first time wearing everything at the same time. There are a few minor adjustments that need to be made, but overall I am very pleased. I am considering remaking the helmet, because I think it may look a little too small, what do you guys think?

 

[matth101]

pretty damn cool bro!! how are those crazy boots to walk in? and i actually think the helmet looks pretty well scaled. If you make it too big like mine it looks like a bobble head chief lol! Again, i love this build dude!! congrats on a job well done!!

 

[Cjsuner]

Very well done Justinian! Puts mine to shame!

The boots are not as good as I had hoped. After I tried everything on I went back to see the damage, and the boots took a beating. The bottom sole part worked perfectly, and nothing ruined it, and the top part stayed together well. The problem was where they met together. They cracked where the top met the sole. I will have to figure out something else for the tops, as they are not flexible. I will probably make a mold for them and use foam to get the flexibility I need.

I hope you're able to get the boots to work.

Now that is one sweet looking build, and Congrats on making the Elite showcase.

 

[JUSTINIAN 117]

I hope you're able to get the boots to work.

Me too. I ordered a bunch of molding supplies, and I am hoping to mold the top parts of the boots out of foam. As long as I can get the paint to stick to the foam, it should work out great.

Now that is one sweet looking build, and Congrats on making the Elite showcase.

Thanks, Thorn.

Fantastic work sir!! One of the best CE Mark V's that I've seen, and well worth the the Elite upgrade. Congrats buddy.

[JUSTINIAN 117]

Thank you mkshane.

I started on the leather undersuit. It is going to be for a Darth Vader build, but I figured it would also work perfectly for this suit. Here is the Undersuit Bulid Thread.

Here I am weraing the completed pants.

They are quite flexible, but pretty heavy duty and very hot.

Here is a test with my armor:

I plan to make the shirt part by the end of the week.

I hope you guys enjoy this.

 

[Shade88]

I for one think that the Vader undersuit works perfectly for Master Chief's Halo: CE armour. Nice job!

Thank you Shade.

After a long night and a lot of hard work, the shirt part is done.

With the forearms.

Later this weekend I will get more pictures of the entire body suit, and the armor again.

Hope you guys enjoy this.

 

[mkshane81]

Regardless of the fact that it's for a Vader build, that looks really good with the armor. I'm anxious to see what it all looks like together.
