That's the ticket right there! EVA foam would work just as well as it's easy to cut/ manipulate and fortunately much easier for the do-it-yourself types (all of us!) to source at reasonable prices. I'm hoping to shake the stage fright and get WIP threads for my armor build and under-suit soon! So much to do...

Haha that was the first thing I thought of, too, when I saw it.

So I decided to email Blue Realm Studios to see if they're able to give me a heads up on how they made their undersuit material.
Hopefully they'll be able to tell me how they did it and maybe even provide pictures

Perfect! I think that's the way to go... Er, to both WIFUZZY and Morphine. @WIFUZZY In case we decide to used the heated computer impression thing, which is perfectly sized by the way, how did you heat it? Oven? @Morphine Although I can see how some of us would get carried away in perfection sometimes NOT re-inventing the wheel helps. Good Idea!
+1 Curious what your method was as it seemed to work quite well.

Interesting mod that has popped up recently in Halo 4 that removes the armor from the player (the mod can select what parts are displayed and what's not).
So there are players running around in undersuits without head at the moment! Sounds ridiculous, but it could actually be a god send for us trying to source reference pictures!
Here's an example - a saved profile picture of one of them:
My idea is to create a custom game (only accessible by myself) whilst having this mod enabled to get a good look at the undersuit and record it in theatre and take some screenshots. Although against the ToS, this would provide valuable information for those OCD'ers out there wanting to closely match their undersuit to the in-game one.
NOTE: I WILL NOT be playing matchmaking or spartan ops AT ALL. This is to be used purely for private use only and not against other players. Multiplayer cheating is a blight on the community and should be frowned upon. I'm also still deciding I'll do this, although I could create a new gamertag just for this experiment only.

That Spartan looks like they should eat a few sandwiches. Arms looks skinnier than mine.

with out the armor it becomes so much more obvious the Spartans in halo 4 are far from being anatomically correct.
The only real issue is that the torso is shorter and thus the legs are longer. Hmm, maybe the hands are a bit larger than they should be as well.
Other than that there's nothing wrong with the anatomy, but the undersuit has some extra masses here and there. They're still far more correct than the Halo3 or even the Reach Spartans.
But all in all they look good when fully armored, and that's what matters in the end.

Sure would, that's why I've ditched the idea to use neoprene and to go with something more breathable (with added wicking maybe).
Also, I'll just leave this here:

Hey guys I found something that I thought was cool at scheels today. Its a new underarmor base layer (well new to me) but its a thicker breathable material that has a sort of like hex texture check it out.
