wow, your pretty busy. i plan on finishing armor by the 25th too. DANG

 

[Macattack64]

Yep... Me too... But I still gotta add some padding and get straps on... That's gonna be the last thing I do... Well... Yea... After Padding I'm gonna go to a local McSports and get UnderArmor Cold Gear... :\... Might be cold that night... :\

Well... I'll still be in a suit that no one around my area has...

Looks like you've got it well planned out, Mac. As for myself, I seriously doubt I'll have my Mk VI armour ready for the 25th; as it is, I'm only about 10% done with the helmet, and that's the first piece I started working on.

I have to procure more sheet styrene in order to build mine up the way I want it. Not that it's an expensive material or anything, but it'll take quite a lot of it, and so will also take some time to do so. What with work and what not, that'll prove to be a bit of a challenge to finish it soon.

I'm hoping to have my armour done for Hallowe'en at least, if not later this month...

 

[Macattack64]

I got my visor from Ebay the other day... I got the shape ready for how it needs to be cut...

One problem was that I didn't do any work this weekend...

I am trying to get my armor done by the 24th for the midnight launch. If all goes as planned.

It's midnight on the 24th?... I did not know that... O.O

 

[gamerguy55]

Well if it comes out on the 25th the midnight launch would be at 12:01 on the 25th so that would mean that you would have to be there before then which would be the 24th. At least that is what i think(and hope). I would feel like an idiot if i walked into gamestop at the wrong night. I would feel like a cool idiot in my armor, but still an idiot. if it is different please tell me.

[callmemasterchief]

Wow that would've SUCKED if you missed it.

 

[Macattack64]

Actually I was planning on finishing early and me and my friend going there and asking them... Me in my armor of course...

 

[papamurf812]

Yeah, I'm gonna be the only one going as a Halo 1 marine. My friends gonna be in Halo 1 fatigues. I hope my gamestop is having a costume contest, I gotta ask. So you think you'll finish your armor before the 25th? That'd be so sweet.

I was hoping to finish the Helmet at least by September 25th but doesn't seem to be happening

I'm still at the resin phase. Might as well just take my time and make a good helmet then a crappy looking helmet.

Anyone thinks I can make an entire suit by Halloween?

Of course you will be able to... If I finish my helmet in about 4 weeks you'll make it... I'll make more and better details after the fact that Halo 3 will be out...
