I have been snooping around the 405th community for over 2 years now, and I just decided to join the ranks as a member. I somehow stumbled across a build on this forum by LongshotX (LongShot-X's Mark VI HD MJOLNIR Armor - WIP) that truly inspired me. I've been a huge fan of the halo series since the first time I played Halo: CE in 2001. Seeing Longshot's artistic work led me to researching and eventually to start pepping my own pieces of armor.
I began in January of 2014. I made the Mjolnir Mark VI helmet first, just to see if the project was something I would be interested in pursuing further. Over the next two years I would go through spurts of interest and work on the set of armor in waves. But recently, I attended Anime Detour in Minneapolis, MN and I have been completely motivated to pursue this project to completion.
Follow along with me as I track my progress...
(Pepakura files are by FLYING SQUIRL, ROBOGENESIS, RAL PARTHA, NUGGET, and crackhead09)
Helmet
Torso and Hand-Plates
Left Shoulder and Wrist
Left Thigh (don't mind me in my skivvies)
Shin (I grew a lot more confident in the Pepakura process. I began to model a few pieces without using numbers to match up parts.
Here is the full set of armor Pepped and ready for fiber-glassing... Which terrifies me
Just the other day I went out and picked up all of the supplies I will need for fiber-glassing. I've got a busy schedule this week though, so I'm not sure how much time I'll get to actually work on the armor.
Until next time...
