Stooge213 - Halo Mk.VI Build WIP

Hello 405th, this will be my first build... ever, so bear with me

I am planning on building standard Mk.VI HD armour, but probably with a few little surprises later on

So far, I have pepped the helmet and resined the outside... tis curing atm.

Here are some pics

Thnx

Very nice job. Doesn't seem to be much warping. Keep up the good work and you'll have a nice suit.

Thnx man!
I did use 200gsm paper, so the resin went on nice and easy ^_^

Resin the inside already

Hi, and welcome to the 405th! Looks like you had a great start with your build. Looking very good so far. Keep it up! Are you going to rondo (resind + bondo) the inside or will you use fiberglass instead?

 

[Vash743]

im working with him, and it looks like we are going to rondo

Rondo seems to be the best option for me and the helmet... i'll see how this goes, then I will decide on which option is suitable for the rest of the armour.

Rondo is complete!

Nice, another Mk VI build! You've got a great start so far. I also chose to rondo my helmet, but I went a step further and fiberglassed it as well, making it THE strongest piece of armor I've done. My commando helmet was rondoed only, and there were a few spots that were pretty brittle. I would suggest adding at least a little fiberglass to the more fragile areas (specifically the perimeter of the opening and any ares where you plan on drilling through, in case you want to add lights later).

Your skill so far looks pretty solid. You've got nice clean pep work, the resin coat doesn't looks sloppy in the least and it looks like the helmet is holding its shape pretty well. Great job so far!

thanks!
I was thinking the exact same thing, with the fiberglass on a few parts because the rondo likes building up in corners and not staying on the flat parts.
