Woa, very impressive, honestly, if I could do that with cardboard, I'd have made myself a set of marine armor by now! I never understand how people can do such cool stuff with cardboard, I've never been able to manage.

well you made halo armor I would think it would be easier once you've mastered that

Very cool! You're off to a great start! So did you create a model of it and use pep for templates? Or just draw straight onto the card?

Nice work!

Can't believe i missed this topic. I only saw it when I checked out your profile. Yeah man, this is great. Really neat/clean edges, especially seeing as it's cardboard. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

what kind of tools do you use? like the top/middle vents: did you use a knife or scalp.,box cutter?

great job!

tools I used were:
metal ruler, pen, and really nice exacto knife. The vents were made by cutting off the top layer of card board away the trick is to make sure the line are going the right direction
