No it is not the spartan armor.
But it is still halo armor every body makes spartan armor so I thought to do some thing different marine armor, also snow marine armor much more interesting than 117.
I will admit this now that I am in love with halo but I don't think most of you care, so I wont go on about it, I just want to know how you think I did making it.

This is the chest peace and back peace strapped together.

Looking at the back peace.

This is the helmet still not finished just need to add a visor.
Image

I padded the inside with foam and then covered it up. it is really comfortable.
Image

This is the magnum.
Image

The upper shine peace still not finished.

Hey, excellent job. Darthbrik's making a Boba Fett suit right now, so I can compare the two and see that you're doing great.

I used pepakura designer and printed out the mesh and stuck that together then I fiber glassed the inside and spray painted and touched up on the detailing to give it the battle look. to make it fit to me I just stuck some foam in the inside then covered that up then added some straps to keep it in place.
This has taken me a long time.

I like Halo, but seriously despise Halotards. Its a saga with a nice story and a good game in various aspects, but some people (mainly kids) take it to a level which I don't want to talk about...

Anyways, Im all about Arts and Crafts, and this armor is quite nicely done. Well worked, well put together and nice detailing. I was to make some Halo armor to, but then my Katana project came to mind and I dumped it

I know what you mean about halotards its not that I love the game its self I love the story and concept behind it. I have read some of the halo books ass well.
You should trying making some halo armor it just takes time and planning I would recommend making the marine armor first as I have done. If you need any help and want to know what problems I have run into feel free to ask.

Are you following the 405th tutorials or are you on your own?

well I looked at how they did it and then sort of did my own method, but I did base my armor around how they did, but there are some really different things that I have done that seem to work better.

I see... I used the same method with my katana. I did completely different things from advice and the tutorials and it end up pretty well! are you settling for the magnum or are you building other weapons?
