XULUX11'S project gungnir rebuild

[XULUX11]

hey guys, recently ive fell in love with the new reach helmet called gungnir. from what i know its named after a spear in norse mythology. i also know gungnir was the project that created the splazer (spartan laser) and it also has other parts that go onto spartan armor. heres some pics i found of the helmet.

im going to be building this around my noble 6 armor making it a addition or just more building onto of that armor. im going to be building the helmet from scratch and rebuilding the arms and shins. ive been rethinking my old idea of using some titanium plates i bought several years back for a dune buggy to make armor with. i didnt end up using them so i thought making some really real halo armor with them would be cool but it would be a lot of work time and money to make that so give me some suggestions on my gungnir project or my possible titanium project. i should have pics of the helm work in progress in few days.

it needs alot of reworking to get it the right shape and im going to have to get brutal with the bondo and my multimaster to get the right details as well. im going to have to sand down the top sides and top back of the helm to get it more round looking. as well as the red stripe on the helmet needs a groove in it to look right. as of now the eye will simply be a small piece of pvc pipe and some extra details going through the helmet. i might use a small piece of the visor i cut of of my last helmet for the color of the eye. and from what i can tell there are also some holes on the other side of the front of the helm i presume your supposed to see through. ill simply drill them out with my dremil tool.
if you have suggestions of anything to do the the helmet the would be much appreciated!

just put another whole cans worth of bondo and more fiberglass on the helmet. its looking pretty good as of now. im also starting the gungnir shoulders and knee guards. i will have pictures tomorrow.

good progress so far, but try using the edit button so you don't multipost, and the insert image button for pictures. like this

from what it looks like the GUNGNIR helmet is a modified marine exo-atmospheric-activity helmet (found on long night of solace)

It looks like the MP helmet:

cool thanks dude. im not sure its definitly a possibilty. i thought GUNGNIR to be some super secret program. so it being a add on to a existing helmet seems unlikely but possible.

How do you see in this thing!? AHHHH!

 

[XULUX11]

How do you see in this thing!? AHHHH!

it will have a hole cut out in it and a small section of a gold visor in it so i can see on the side with the eye, while to me it appers there is some other very faint holes on the other side of the helmet which will also have a piece of visor in it, exept that visor will be gray on that side to look like metal.cant see anything through it as of now.

maybe in the long run you can attach a small camera in that eye and have a small display inside so you can see without worrying about one eye...

 

[gingersnapples]

hey! i was about to say that! idea stealer... jk
oh, it also looks like the new ODST helmet.

 

[XULUX11]

the sides of the odst helmet do look alot like the sides of the gungnir. im going to try to start rendering a gungnir helmet. i still plan on finishing this one though.

sorry i havn't added any progress for a while, ive gone on a couple trips, been working on other projects but i have put in some substatial progress on the helmet. ill have pitures later tonight. but i have a problem. the main part of the helm is your secondary color and i dont know what to make it. the "main" color will be tan as all my projects are so im going to give you guys the choice of to paint the front, yellow, orange, or white, which are my emblem colors. comment on what you want it painted and i should be able to pretty soon. note its looking pretty crappy right now because i reinfoced the helm with sheet steel, theres alot more sanding and cutting to be done.

 

[XULUX11]

finally got pictures of the helmet. theres alot of resin and stuff on the helmet so ill have to do some major sanding and cutting to it to look right. i have alot of other projects im workin on so i might have it done in the next few weeks.

i know it look really rough and crappy but the steel reinforcments take alot of fiberglass and bondo to look right. its got a long way to go but i think ive done pretty well so far. time to go buy more resin and bondo though. still want to know what color to paint the front of the helmet. i am thinking about painting it red so tell me what you think.
