The rest is.... the shoulders ... the chest ... and the things that are wrapped around the sides of their abdominal area ....

like that

also what color do you think i should go for im thinkin about bright OJ
 
great job so far man. its cool to see someone thinking outside of the box with this stuff. if you wanted a shorter grunt you could always use the pyramid backpack thing as a helmet/chest piece and make a dangling head for the grunt, kind of like those halloween costumes with the cowboy and the horse.

I was gonna say if you wanted you could use an automotive painters mask but looks like you got it under control :p cant wait to see more.
 
Your doing very nice for just using reference pics! You also might want to figure out a way to use mp3's of grunt sayings, or you could learn how to say them yourself. It might just be me, but you seem very mad when someone says the slightest bad thing about grunts. I mean they were put in the game as the "grunt" of the pack. They were made to be made fun of.

Well im not really mad its just im right taht nobody repsects them i mean they do make up the majority of the covanent military and in my view they are the coolest and the funniest but im not rlly mad

anyways i didnt get any work done 2day cuz it was wakeup->work->date->home so .... ill start the chest tomorrow and ill strap up the backpack thing too

also thanks for all your support everybody! Its all being made on Cardboard Ducttape and Hot Glue J.F.Y.I .....

i was actually thinking about doing this. I can imitate the grunt voice perfectly, so it wouldve been pretty funny to run around on Halloween screaming "Run away!!!"

maybe next year :p

looks great so far though
 
I think that the costume looks sweet so far. I have worked with cardboard before and it can be annoying sometimes. Are you going to make boot-type things for the legs? They kind of taper off into round feet so thats just what i figured.

And yes, your info on the grunts is correct, they are 5 feet tall, as are the jackals, the elites are 8', and the hunters are 12' tall when they stand up, and only 8' in their battle possitions. The reason everything looks small in the Haloverse is because the master chief is so epicly huge.

keep up the good work!
 
Is it? Im going off of memory from the Halo 1 player handbook, but those are the basic ideas for the heights, i believe
 
Yeah hes right thats all from the Halo CE handbook lol

anyways sorry ive been like dead for the past couple of days ive been tryin 2 hook up with this girl ... u know how it is ... anyways i reserved a chunk of time
2morrow cuz ive got the day off from school to work on this so there will be progress

And yeah Darkfire i was planning on doing that also with the arms and i would make cardboard 4 fingered hands lol then i would go over them with spray-on latex or something ... but im lazy so im probably just gonna end up painting them grey/purpleish
 
Well ive been workin on it a little bit but in the meantime look at what this dad did for his kid for this halloween he made him and his bro halo costumes ... a marine and a grunt!
HERE!
