SeamusRocks' Emile Halo Reach Build

[soul products]

yeah ok it may have just been the light, looks good. cant wait to see this finished

Fits snug. Might put in a little more padding, but really don't need any more.

1 question... Do you think I should put the lenses on the inside, or attempt(only 1 chance) to put them on the outside? Here are some pics -

Inside, definately. If you try to do it on the outside, you're going to have gaps, and trying to fill those is going to be a challenge without ruining the whole look. Now, you COULD try putting the lenses on the inside, and then putting some clear plastic on the outside. That way, if you screw up, nothing bad happens. Will also save your sunglass lenses from any damage. ust a thought. Looks SICK!!! Love this, can;t wait to see it done!

because the design is carved/scratched IN id say take the chance and cut them for the outside

 

[SeamusRocks999]

>=[ I tried to glue in the lenses and they got stuck to my finger, slipped, and then got screwed up. So I bought new ones. Hopefully I won't screw up this time.

Great idea dude, I might do that.

Great idea dude, I might do that.

I will warn you, it might reduce your visibility though. Seeing through 1 lens is bad enough, a second might make seeing very hard. test it out first.

to make the visor carving more visible i suggest you water down a black paint... a lot, then pour it over the visor area with a cloth on hand. You then wipe away the excess paint and the black will run into the recessed areas highlighting them

very, very awesome helmet man, the battle damage looks pretty freakin sweet! i also am going to use the vacilene and sand method (i saw the video on youtube) and i thought that would be a good idea for the visior for putting in sunglass lenses,i was going to do that for hayabusa but i didn't feel like finishing the helmet
Nice job man and keep up the good work

Wow, great job man! The skull scratches and battle scarring looks awesome. I'm liking your method with the sunglasses lenses. Overall, this build is looking major win and can't wait to see this done.

I LIKE!!!!!!! I had another brilliant (maybe) insight, file down the ridge where the lens meets the helmet. That way, the ridge is virtually invisible. But from a distance, nobody will notice as currently is.

hey dude were did you find that pep file looks great

You seem to come up with some pretty smart ideas!

 

[SeamusRocks999]

After Halloween, I've decided that I will fix up the helmet and make the rest of the armor!

 

[Boba Fett]

I've spent a LOT of time thinking about Emile... I started a build but I'm not allowed to work on it during school. Evil mother... Plus she's not too crazy about Halo, Emile with the skull, giant knife, grenades all over, would PROBABLY not be the best way to make her a halo fan... so yeah. I'm so pumped to see this complete! Yuor work thus far has been fantastic!

 

[Josiahmann]
