Yeah, this is the approach I'll take for my Grunt costume. I'm gonna do it on a smaller scale though. I love the design though. Do you mind if I emulate?

 

[Evil Femle]

That is starting to turn out really freakin good. You really should resin/bondo. It sould bring it to a whole new level. Trust me it'll be worth the money.

No, bondo is a sort of clay or putty that after mixing, you put it on the armour and basically sculpt it onto the armour for finer details, like the different things on the chest and mask, then it cures making it hard as hell. It will weigh down your armour, but it'll be worth it.

If I had a son... who was kinda young... I would make him a grunt costume...

Um i think it would be alot of money because like ... the amount of my armor compared to a MC helmet is like 4:1 ... so right now i dont think im gona bondo resin ... but idk comments about this would be helpful

but right now im just building/detailing it with cardboard and sanding and what not ....

 

[shane]

that armor looks awsome keep us posted

 

[PillowFire]

you will want to resin and fiber-glass that if you want it to last longer then several uses and wearings. Cardboard WILL NOT last long by itself for a costume.

Bondo body filler is what you use to add in details, put some on, sculpt it a bit, wait for it to harden, then sand it out into the detail you need.

For now, what you have is, while very good, is not by itself all it can be. Trust me, if you go the full approach, it may take a lot more time and effort, but in the end you will be stunned by the awsome costume you will have.

PS: two layers of fiber-glass=protection from baseball bats

I wanted to get working on a Big Daddy Bouncer suit (that scary guy in my sig for those who don't know) but ... i did want to make this really good looking so i probably will actually ... also my neighborhood is full of jerks who would wanna smash the big methane backpack so baseball bat proof is excellent!

The duct tape grunt is actually a friend of mine. It's somewhere on cosplay.com IHis suit got more attention than I thought it would. He's a total weirdo. But I don't count his suit. heh. Yours is better.

[Iceman29]

WOW, thats the best Grunt costume I've ever seen

EDIT: its the only Grunt costume I've ever seen

 

[SPARTAN405]

I think it looks outstanding for cardboard. However if you dont mind I would like to point out something that might help make this look more realistic looking.

If you notice how in the game their chest piece is rounded and separated in the middle It would make it look its best. Now for the gas mask. I think you should make a latex mask for their head. Or if you have time, then sculpt a grunt head with the gas mask. Mold it and cast it. That might be more efficient.

Edit- To papamurf: I wanted to ask for his permission first for criticism.

 

[papamurf812]

Alright, I'm sorry. I didn't catch it the first time I read it.

 

[lizander]

I don't even know what a grunt looks like but the armor looks really great!!

 

[darthturkey]

Thats great, except youll be the biggest grunt ever. Nice job though.
