Hey all! It's taken me nearly a year to decide on what I wanted to take on as an armor project, but I've finally made my mind up. I'll be creating a Halo 5 GEN-II style Spartan, sporting a NOBLE helmet and a CYPHER body. While I love the Cypher armor, I'm really not a big fan of the helmet. It reminds me almost of something a G.I. Joe villain would wear and doesn't really flow well with the armor. Doing the Cypher armor also gives me a bit of an opportunity to be unique, as the armor has yet to be unfolded (correct me if I'm wrong though! Would love to see someone else's work)
I'm intending on doing this as a pepakura project, but depending on how I find the process, I may switch to foam. I've never really done a pep project (or a large cosplay project, admittedly), so the learning curve will be high. I also live in a studio apartment, so space is at a premium and I'll have to do my fiberglass/bondo work elsewhere.
At the moment, the Cypher armor file hasn't been unfolded, so that will be my step one. Learning how to unfold an armor file. If anyone has a link to a tutorial that they like, I'd love to see it (alternatively, if anyone's bored and wants to unfold it for me, that'd make things a lot quicker )
I'll be updating this post as often as I can and I'll try to take as many photos as possible, probably uploading them in Imgur albums.
Per Mare, Per Terras, Per Constellatum, Spartans!
