Hello 405th!
I've been lurking around the forums for a while and figured it's about time I started a thread on my own project.
A few months ago a few friends and I decided that we need halo armour for the next Supanova expo.
We're all huge fans of Red vs Blue so, as the thread title suggests, we decided to go as our favourite freelancers from the series.
I'm going as Agent Tex, my friend Nicole (405th name bubblycarolina) is going as Agent Carolina and our partners Kristian and Jason are going as Agents Maine and Washington.
The amour/weapons we'll be making are:
Tex:
Mk VI armour, dual weilding M6G magnums
Carolina:
Mk VI armour with a Rogue helmet and Recon chest & biceps. Dual weilding M6G magnums.
Maine:
Agent Maine was a headache as he is seen in 3 different sets of armour throughout the series: 1)Agent Maine 2)Agent Maine after implantation with the Sigma AI and 3)Meta (rawr!)
We are making the 2nd armour set so we're going with Mk VI amour with an EVA helmet, Security biceps and an as yet unidentified chest attachment. Naturally Maine will be wielding a Brute Shot (knifle)
Washington:
Mk VI Amrour with either a battle rifle or sniper rifle.
For a bit over two months Nicole and I pepped, whinged about pepping, pepped, cried about pepping and then pepped some more until FINALLY the 4 suits were done.
As it stands now we've pretty much finished resining everything and we've begun the bondo phase.
Initially we had hoped to have the armour completed for Brisbane Supanova (November 2012) but it looks like we'll be aiming for Supanova Gold Coast instead (April 2013)
Anyway, the important stuff: photos! nothing amazing to show yet just some random progress shots, everything is still a WIP.
Ignore any size testers, everything was pepped in high res.
Comments and critiques welcome.
Cheers
Sara
