Project Exmarine To Spartan

[thechoochman528]

I'm scrambling to get my shin done, since I have to make a mold from it, in order to cast the other shin...

Here is what i've got so far:

Looks very clean! Are master chiefs shin pieces symmetrical? I didn't realize because most people just make a separate one for each leg.

 

[LastSpartan]

Woah, it's looking great!

With what are you molding it? Rebound 25?

Yes, they are symmetrical.

Woah, it's looking great!

Yes, good'ol Rebound 25

Thank you both.

...After I posted the pics, I was referencing pics again I noticed more shaping I have to do get the knee cap closer to being accurate.

Well...I actually haven't glued the visor in yet (it's just resting in there under compression) , I'm thinking a 5 min epoxy should do the trick though.

I think my torso scale was 42cm.

Thanks. Yes, you should! It's good fun and gets addicting, I have a whole database of things I want to pep.

Haloween is almost here and i thought i'd share my exciting achievement with you tonight...the last piece that remained to be made.

My first complex casting!

Now I have two shins!

I have a lot respect for people that cast all their armor, man it's hard work.

Update Halloween night... Got dressed in it for the first time didn't even know how it was going to fit...

Missed winning $2,000 by 10 minutes... took 40 pictures with people... stopped traffic.

Here are some crappy cell phone pics more to come:

The suit held up pretty well, was in it for 6 hours walking around downtown.

I'm so glad it's done and will be perfected by next Halloween...

I'll probably be able to win $3k in cash and prizes next year.

[pooper]

How did I miss this thread?! That is an Awesome suit! Yeah, you should definetly enter a contest soon! Great job! Do you have your AR done?

 

[ilikecats]

The Suit's awesome, why didn't your take your AR with you? Doesn't really matter, that suit's just too good.

 

[thechoochman528]

I would have loved to have my AR finished, but just didn't have enough time.

I'm going to take a break from costuming for awhile, but I will post any updates as come, in the months ahead.

Here's a few more pics from haloween weekend:

Looking at these pics I really need to integrate my pauldrons into the pressure suit!
