Hello,

The first build I completed was a Halo 4 Spartan IV.

Helm: FOTUS
Chest: Orbital
Shoulders: Scout
Bracers: MK VI
Butt and Ability Plate: MK VI
Cod: MK VI
Thighs: MK VI
Knees & Shin: MK VI
Boots: MK VI.
Weapons: Halo CE Magnum, Halo 4 Pistol, Halo 4 BR (Planning to upgrade it to be more HD), Halo 3 ODST knife, and two prop energy swords.

Sorry for the lack of photos, I wanted this to be a huge surprise at a local convention here. (Especially, the colors of the paint. Yes, the colors are of Evangelion Unit 01). This was a card stock, resin, fiberglass, bondo, paint, etc build.

Yeah, yeah, I know I have more weapons than what a Spartan should have. But it helps to have multiple props for photos and let other Spartans borrow.

Note: I was planning on making a sniper but I had to cut that due to time constraints.

First pep being a complete noob and not RTFM Pepakura Reader/Designer. I did not have 'Show edge ID' on. That was fun and I think the Halo CE Magnum turned out very well. I had to remake the helmet three times, modify the shins, make the bracers again, and the chest a second time learning sizing and having extra room for padding and looking bulkier.

I added in a Metallic Red visor for my helm. I want to make Evangelion Unit 01's red glowing eyes for the helmet.... perma Promethean vision lol. I was also thinking of making a Hardlight Shield... AT Field lol....

I'm open to comments or suggestions. I would like to make the weapons look better and probably upgrade this suit to foam and install a lot more electronics. Unfortunately, I don't have the eye to do battle damage.. but as over the two years I have had this suit, it took some nice wear and tear.....

This is an ongoing project and completing the suit took about a year and a half. Learned a lot of it by myself, but had friends and acquaintances who had advice and or helped me accelerate the process. So much thanks goes out to them and especially Crosseyed Props.

Thanks,

Updated the post to be more presentable and found more pictures, regarding more pep work and a few from the conventions.
