Hey,
I recently bought the Limited Edition Deluxe Master Cheif armour from eBay and wanted to know how easy it would be to replicate?
My preliminary thoughts where to lay the armour down and place cling film over the parts then use fibre-glass matting to get the base shape and use bondo for detail. Then cutting the matting once dry to get the shapes.
Im dont mind too much on detail as Id be using the second version for Airsoft. So It needs to be resonably robust and easily repairable.
Also it may not end up looking exactly like the Master Cheif but a 'concept' of sorts. Possibly changing it around so it works as armour but aslo works well as funtional airsoft kit.
The other thing I was going to do immidiatley was to replace the silly visor with a gold Bike helmet visor, adding some fans as well.
(p.s. the armour hasnt arrived yet, but ill post pics up as soon as i start work)
Thanks
Josh
