I'm unsure about Halo being simpler... In my opinion, I think Iron Man would be thanks to online resources and panelling. There's more guides, templates and reference pictures (though not much more)- a great site for anything Iron Man costume related is therpf.com, half their threads are Iron...

Cheers! Yeah, the 405th is a godsend when it comes to this stuff. Sadly I made three different vambraces yesterday and they were either just... off, or too small, so I got almost nothing done. Latest vambrace is here, but it was the wrong shape to add a GPS to and just doesn't look right with...

Thanks! If you ever decide to try, the 405th is an amazingly useful resource. Before I forget, that was my source for all the pep files, they have absolutely everything you could want and some amazing talent :) Today will be devoted to arms, if there's time I'll be hitting the legs. Seems...

Would you believe this was started on a whim two days ago? I've put my Helghast on the backburner for this, a hobby show is coming up in the near future and my armour group is going to be there. Decided I may as well have something new. The armour is loosely based around the Mjolnir MKIII from...

No problem! I decided to do a complete genre mash for this armour and make the lower armour that of a Spartan. I don't know why. Still doing regular Elite Shock Trooper armour, but.. I dunno. I've always wanted to do Spartan armour and they fit weirdly well together. Here's the start so far...

Thanks! Maybe someday, commission requests have already started trickling in but I worry that if I do it for money I'll cease to enjoy it. Anyways, now for something completely different, here's a spaghetti dragon. I'll be starting a Halo build tomorrow, I think. Entire armour, the...

New update- the eyes friggin' glow. Before colouring- Harder to see out of, there's a secondary set of reflective lenses inside when the lights are on. Hard to see in photos.

Yep! Here you go. It was made by John Wieger, he's a pretty nice guy. Download links are in the comments- http://jwieger82.deviantart.com/gallery/37465093#/d4sc6t1 Both versions are there, I made Version 2. Sadly, the Elite Shock Trooper was a one off build from foam and acrylic, not very...

Head piece was too big with the foam blocks in it. Took them out, now it's far more streamlined. Last update for tonight, I promise! Time to start working on the armour itself

And here we go!

You know a country's economy is screwed when they're having hobby forums spammed. I used to live in Al Ain.. nice place. Not so nice now. Just sculpted an over head/rear head guard. Pics soon. Thanks all. :)

Here's #2 of today's updates-

Thanks! Here's a just-about-finished helmet. Just some spot work left as well as a Stahl Arms decal, and getting some glowing LEDs into the eyes (one way orange reflective lenses right now)

Base coat has been applied, some detailing left to do. Most of the sanding is done, filters are applied. Funny, if the seal is tight enough it can actually be used as a respirator if a filter is put on. Next up, back of head. Making the top from EVA foam and acryl. To clarify the second...

MG? Show me what you're thinking of and I can try and think of ideas/help in any way I can from up here. :)

That's beautiful! I love the texture, especially. I haven't heard about this but will look into it.. shall see if anywhere local has it, there's some industrial sites a bit out of the way that may (my acrylic comes from a plastic depot in a business park). If this can be done on a small scale...

The technique my friend and I are using is called 'slush casting', it's essentially taking a 1:1 (or other based on your desired consistency) mix of bondo autobody filler and fibreglass resin, with a bit of poured in hardener. You are left with a goop with a consistency like runny pudding, which...

Thanks! There's a good amount of tutorials- I can answer as many questions as I can, but this is basically a bible and can explain it way better than I ever could. http://www.instructables.com/id/Halo-ODST-Armor-Helmet-Part-1-of-6-of-ODST-Armo/ tl;dr it was entirely paper, but it was painted...

Day 1 update on the second mask in the picture- Elite shock trooper Helghast mask start Nose needs to be reshaped, shouldn't be much effort. Bottom part is part freehand, part modified Capture Trooper pep build by John Wieger. Upper and nose is freehand acrylic sheeting, straps and forehead...

Hey all, First attempt at making a helmet or a larger pep build, all my stuff has been EVA so far. Didn't want to freehand it, so the original base was a model made by A1TD/Pepmaster. However, I realized after running out of rondo and having the thing fall apart, I built half of it from...
