alright so i did manage to finish both suits, not as good as i had hoped but atleast the main pieces were done. all i finished on the marine was the elbows, chest, and helmet thought the chest is going to have to be redone. i finished the sniper but the bi-pod broke off, and i lost a toe piece to the mc armor as well as a few chiped parts on the boots and shins. it could have been better as far as movement and damage, but it wasnt so bad. heres a few pics of the suit all finished and i cant fin the marine pics at the moment so ill post them as soon as i find them.
it was fun having people recognize me most of them said "hey its the halo guy" or just "holy sh**" that gave me a laugh. i did get a few "oh youre a storm trooper right?" or "master what?" some old guy called me "an astronaut terrorist" wtf? the marine was mistaken for robo cop :rolleyes people these days....i had a lot of visor fogging issues even with something covering my mouth and good ventilation. i need to install the fans before comic-con. it was a good test run though. hopefully conventions dont have many stairs cause thats what killed me.
