oh and all the writing on the armor shows what colors to paint and where, and the symbols show what symbols to put and where. i plan to paint the armor white, black and grey but if you think it would be better in a different color please tell me!

hope you guys like it and if you have any suggestion fire away, they would be much appreciated!

sorry guys, i think ive unfortunatly failed at this build. just resined up the legs and boot covers and its not looking so good. im not sure what to do with the armor. as of now im calling it off unless i come up with a metod to fix the armor. i hope to make some new armor in a couple months. i have some large titanium plates i bought a few years back for a dune buggy i was making i never used them so i think the would be perfect for building armor with! give me an email at chiefjones2@yahoo.com if you have suggestions for me.

acually just spent like 5 or 6 hours yesterday working the armor its now going to be a desert themed armor. not going to be exact to reach armor but it should look alot like it. also my lights finally arrived so ill be puting those in. i hope to have new pics in a couple days.

it still needs to be redetailed and the codpice, gutplate, and legs need to be straped.
it will be done in time for the halo reach release though!

 

[XULUX11]

heres the armor as far as today, everything from the leges up is finished! still making the shins and boot covers. also added the UA/ HUL atachment to my helmet.

the halo reach release is in four days so i really have to hurry to get this build done! not really much left exept my ma5b assault rifle which is coming along well. so if anybody has suggestions, throw em' at me quick cause there isnt much time left!

 

[XULUX11]

i dont really have time to take more pics right now but the shins are finished and so is my ma5b assault rifle. the boot covers are almost done so its almost there! ill have pics of the midnight release on the 14th!

 

[XULUX11]

heres a few pics of me at the release. there kinda dark but one of them is good. i will continue work on the armor for a while because i want it to look like my ingame spartan.

i had an amazing time at the release though. the people at gamestop game me a reach hoodie and a red vs blue dvd. i had over 50 people ask me for pictures because i was the only one out of 500 people to come in armor. i also went to f.y.e earlier that day which i will try to get pics of. i hope everyone had a great time at the release as well!

Thats a pretty nice helmet for cardboard. Once the putty, detailing and paint go on, it should be hard to tell that it was cardboard to begin with. Nice work!
Troop-on, bro!

thanks guys check out my gungnir rebuild of the armor. helmet probably wont be as good as the one i have now but i think its okay.
