Halo 4 Spartan Foam build Pic heavy WIP

[spartanx360]

huge picture update time

so i finished painting my beautiful parts and hooked the rocket pods to the chest piece.
I also made some handplates for the gloves





next i'm going to show the pieces i have now


buttplate


my 2 helmet masterpieces


chestpiece




as last, the handplate


note, there are more pics in my photobucket

next up is making the tighs smaller and try to get the chestpiece not to move up (because the pods make it heavier in the back, the front slides up)

when thats done i still need to make the belt, forearms and shins

thanks for watching and leave a comment

update time, made 1 shin piece,

but i got in a bit of trouble, the shin is too loose, so i just connected the back without some foamies.
you'll see in the pics,

The underarmor is pretty kickass! I like how you also made every knob and hole right. How did you do these little screw-like cuts in the foam? I guess you took the cap of a pen or marker and pressed it against the foam, but I wouldn't really know.

 

[ABYISZ]

whats the hexagonal piece you used for the gloves, its pretty kick ass.

That is a great looking blue, really sticks out compared to all the other halo 4 suits I have seen so far.

i have a pen that heats up to make woodcarvings and such, when it is hot you gently push it in the foam and the foam melts is that shape, will post pics of it.

i used lycra (stretchy fabric) and printed out the hexa patern with a plotter onto a thermoplastic sheet for prints on tshirts.
and then just cut out and glue/sew on the gloves

That is a great looking blue, really sticks out compared to all the other halo 4 suits I have seen so far.

thank you all for the kind words

[DylanMarx]

[spartanx360]

thanks guys

Very nice work, I am liking your choice of blue. Also your nonna is awesome for helping you out.

 

[Spartan214]

Nice! It came out great. And ya, like everyone's mentioning, that is a very handsome blue, I love it.

 

[Locus Bird]

Hey Spartanx360,this is really awesome!Could you send a link for the templates please?

Whoa. Looks great. The blue works really well.

And....Dat under suit. Awesome work tag teaming with grandma. The sheen to the material used for the undersuit was quite thoughtful I can see. Normally that can work against a costume (look cheap) but it really compliments your scheme.

I may be seeing it wrong, but the thigh piece seem a bit larger in proportion than the rest of the pieces ? (Oh my god those calf pieces are a beaut).
