[Intro]
Hello guys and gals!
Well it did not take long for me to start on a new project! Yeah, I´am simply that kind of person. Anyway as you might have noticed this won´t be another Halo project.... :O .... don´t worry I still love Halo but I just want to try making something else with a different technique. So I choose to make the I.M.C. pilot "armor" from Titanfall since it looked pretty easy to make and I personally like the design of it. I will be using foam for the armor but the helmet will be made using the pepakura method since I think it would be a pain in the butt to make a helmet out of foam. But that´s just my opinion so don´t kill me for it. Well, I will try to make it as accurate as possible cause you know, I have been making "cosplays" since 2009 and I succesfully finished 2 armors and a helmet so I already know most things (what to use, how to make certain things...etc.) but I´am still not at a level I want to be! Yeah it sounds a bit stupid but this is just how I am - a stubborn perfectionist. But there is another reason and that one is sooo childish. So basically I want to win a cosplay contest.... Don´t judge me! *runs away crying. The contest I entered back in March (The first one I have entered.) I finished 5th with my Spartan IV (Link - http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/39576-Chiefer-joins-the-Spartan-IV-Program). People and the jury liked it since it was something new and fresh because until now nobody made anything like that. I mean seriously here in Slovakia everybody makes these "textile cosplays" which is nice but every year it´s almost the same. But let´s leave it at that. So the next contest is held in September so I have only 5 months to finish this but I hope that the work will be done faster with foam! Oh, and another thing that I will add to this armor will be LEDs. Why? People seem to like it especially when you can turn it off and on. So even if I will look like a walking Christmas decoration, who cares.
Enjoy the show!

Please post tips or critiques only! And please write the truth!
I mean seriously sometimes telling the truth about what is wrong with something can help and don´t worry I won´t get angry because of it.
And one last thing. I will post weekly updates but if you are impatient and wanna see my progress you can check/like my Facebook page where I post daily updates!
