Spartan battle wagon! ​(Yeah, there's no neck seal in the last photos, I took it off due to sweltering heat) Criticism welcome. Anything welcome. It's hard to get an honest response these days.

Neither gun is made of paper- I used an airsoft USP nonblowback pistol and a spring Benelli M3, painted them both, and built around them with foam and acrylic plastic until they were the desired shape. :) Both were done in only a few hours, so I didn't really take any progress shots during.

I think other than a few fixes it's about done. Photos taken by Nic D'eautremont, http://zazza0110.deviantart.com/ :)

Started making a shotgun! Only two hours of work into it so far. I'm gonna have full pictures of the whole suit taken tomorrow.

It's pretty much done! Aaaand VOGUE It had some pretty significant breakages today, but everything's fixed.

Almost done! Just gotta pair it with the pressure suit and add some pouches to carry my stuff, and a holster of some sort. I need a rifle, too, and a paint job.

Update! Upper is mostly done. This isn't wearing the undersuit or anything, and the handplate isn't done. Only bondo/sanding is left! Thighs, shins and belt need to be done. The kneepads and boots are being made from foam, picked up a pair of 8" high laceless boots earlier.

Thanks! Actually, I'm gonna try that, that's a way more clever idea than what I was doing (dremelling apart translucent white plastic from dollar store electric glowsticks). Anyhow, before I read this, I shoved some lights into the almost-finished torso. Started tossing a pistol...

Thanks all! Progress is coming along slowly, my job allows me to work on stuff pretty much the entire time so progress is coming along quickly- all things willing, everything but the electronics will be done by Saturday. Sadly I didn't do the best job at keeping everything symmetrical.. there's...

I don't know if it can be too hot for fibreglassing! I imagine the humidity may effect it negatively, or make it very uncomfortable. It's mostly cold that does it, the warmer it is the faster it seems to work. Cut it apart and made it wearable today! Everything is fiberglassed now. I aim to...

It's too warm in Brazil for pepakura? :( Everything but the top right shoulder is fiberglassed and ready for bondo'ing, the helmet and the torso are almost done!

Thanks all! I feel this should be in 'gaming', but I don't know if that subforum existed when I made this thread. Perhaps it did and I'm retarded. Either way, it's raining to all hell here so there won't be much hardening work done this week- however, in the downtime I made an entirely new...

Thanks all! Yeah, I'm really regretting not making a smaller, more streamlined helmet in my initial build before investing so much time in this, but you live and learn. I'll try and trade it or something eventually, or just build another. There's only really inner hardening and bondo left to...

So, it hit 26 degrees Celsius here so it was warm enough to keep going. Now, the only thing left to do is one of the forearms and the shoulder/bicep areas.

Hey! I'm okay, project's just on hold right now. It's too cold outside to work on anything, and there's nowhere that's well ventilated enough to use resin. :(

Do you have access to auto body filler? If not that, Smooth-Cast liquid plastics work absolute wonders. I'd be using that if I had more money. For the original undersuit for the old armour, I just used a black shirt and pants. It was cold. Con day, I used underarmour for the top, black cargo...

Really now, the original design set? Funny enough, I've only been to one 'con! Ran my old foam armour there, I made it in the weeks preceding. Here's what it looks like- it was my first attempt at any homemade costume. (yes the back actually does glow, I used LEDs and translucent white...

Like this! Won't be started til this summer. Here's the undersuit tutorial! http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/39172-Halo-4-undersuit-(undecided-on-armor)/page3?highlight=undersuit

Yep! Thanks. And yeah, you wrap it tightly and it keeps the pattern. :)

Yep! What's done is I'll wrap a mesh laundry bag around each individual part, a bag like this- And then spray paint each on. It gives it a light almost hexagonal print. Here's something else we painted like that-
