Macattack64 · Oct 6, 2009

scandomfo · Oct 6, 2009

Haha I should just reveal my whole armor without posting up progress pics

But for now...

Kinda random but I took this the other day since I was trying to use up all the resin I had

Man... that helmet looks sweet. Just [i]love[/i] the detailing you put on it. And it's so smooth. Great colour scheme, too. I never grow tired of seeing that piece. Nice work on installing those LED's. Oh, and the dual-layer visor is a nice touch there, buddy ;)

Soulless, that looks Amazing! I'm guessing you're getting really close to finishing your suit.

Really looking forward to seeing it all complete. Did you cut any vents in the helmet?

Also, I notice that the black side dent thingies that go on the sides of the visor are missing. Are you planning on placing black vinyl stickers on the side for those?

Ha! And I spot Wing Zero Custom (Gundam) in the back!

Awesome work as always, Soulless. It makes me want to cry! *sniff* JK

LEDs are one thing, but don't you think adding a laptop to your helmet is a bit...overkill?

xavierjer · Oct 7, 2009

Is that your secret project? a working laptop inside your helmet? The helmet looks great.

@SpartanII

Ok I had to do this

Bold 1 - My helmet is sweet

Bold 2 - The detail was well worth it and I LOVE my paint scheme

Bold 3 - Haha I don't know why people think the dual visor is new. It really isn't. I had it done a while ago

@Pooper

I didn't cut any side vents but I think I should :eek

Maybe install fans but I got too much wires all over the place.

Hmmm I could use black vinyl stickers for those but where you get em?

Lol it is a wing zero and I got two more gundams that is covered by my helm

@Oreo

LOL

Well you know Hero, I gotta have a 21st century H.U.D workin here

@xavierjer

Well you know, my laptop is my Cortana

Thanks for the comments guys

Will update tomorrow

pooper · Oct 8, 2009

@ Soulless: Yeah, I don't have vents either, but I'm thinking about putting in some fans. I asked Dogwizard at D*Con about how to stop your visor from fogging up and he gave me some good tips.

As for the vinyl stickers, what do you use for the car/armor decals? Vinyl decals is what I called them in art/graphic design class in college, so what you use is probably the same thing. I'd just make the shape and place it on the visor. I used black tape on my old helmet.

BTW, I know you use Adobe Illustrator to make them, but do you own the machine that cuts out the decals?

(Um... are we talking about the same think here? LOL sorry if I confused ya

)

I'd strongly suggest you both do that, as it'll greatly help with diminishing fogging of the visor and allow for better air flow, so you don't get too warm inside the helmet. It just makes it more comfortable to wear it for hours on end.

Though I'm nowhere near that point with my own, I'm definately installing vents (sides of the LED housings and sides of the jaw) and exhaust fans (sides of the LED housings and in the chin) :cool

scandomfo · Oct 9, 2009

Sorry guys that I couldn't post up yesterday ):

I had to get a lot of homework done and then study for two tests.

Man I want to leave H.S

@Pooper

Lol we both are on the same page and I know what you mean

Maybe I'll give that a try

@SpartanII

Haha maybe I'll install fans after Halo-ween

My school won't allow you to cover your face like masks

But they didn't say helmets

None the less, I have to obey there rules when a school admin is nearby

But in my classes I'll put it on

pooper · Oct 9, 2009

Hey, give it a try!

It really does look pretty good and it gives it the illusion that it's going in the visor like the in-game model. The best part is if you don't like it, it can be easily taken off.

lol it would be awesome to see a spartan walking around school. I hope you can wear your helmet in class.

Let us know how that goes!

scandomfo · Oct 9, 2009

Lol I'll be definitely taking pics

Or people take pics of me

Though I will be in the yearbook for this !!!!

lol just make sure they get yay with doing something cool, or stupid (funny)!

Not a lot of people can say "I've got a pic of Master Chief/a spartan in my yearbook!"

rhetorical?? There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to adding electronics to a helmet

Macattack64 · Oct 9, 2009

I wore my helmet to school too. Kids that I never talked to were like OMG you made this?

Yea but obey the rules around faculty, other than that wear it lol

kupokitty · Oct 9, 2009

I wore my crappy unfinished purple MK VI helm to my last band concert as a senior in high school. It was hilarious. Picture a Spartan in a dress.

I'm loving the smoothness of your helmet. It looks really clean. Keep up the great work!

scandomfo · Oct 10, 2009

@Pooper

Hahah I know!!!

If I was a junior, I'd be an ODST for next year

@Ben

Lol there is no such thing as overkill

@Mac

Hahaha I think my teachers will be pretty impressed about it.

But I bought a SB sword handle and I will be definitely bringing that to school and be all awesome with a plasma sword

@Queen

Thanks for the comment

-----------------------

I have worked on my armor on and off all this week and worked hard the passed 2 days. Well today I worked for 2 hours straight since I was locked outside of my house. Haha it sucked but I got a lot done. I bondo'd the forearms and thighs. Glassed my left thigh and reinforced some other pieces that needed it. I sanded the boot parts so smooth that it is equivalent to a baby's butt

But for tomororwwrooror, I will be sanding the hell out of the res of the pieces I need to do to get it ready for primer and paint. Hopefully I can primer everything at least.
