Hey 405th!
I've been very active lately, very busy with HALO costuming this past week. Today, (Friday the 8[SUP]th[/SUP]) I had a sick-day and, much like the day I built [the cardboard parts of] my M6G, I felt like having a go at cardboard scratch-building a suit of MJOLNIR armour.
Particular Customizations
Helmet: Operator
Shoulders: FJ/PARA
Current Progress
I only had today and missing time between looking after my baby sister, then my baby sister stealing my tape and then going to sleep holding it. This meant I only built the Bicep pieces and the shoulder pieces. Tomorrow I'll put together more (maybe even the torso!), and trial some materials such as homemade plaster and homemade polymer clay.
Here is a pic of my current progress:
It may look rough now but "I'm very proud of it". I've enjoyed this scratch building so far, it feels like it's really my own work (thanks Bungie and 343i for original designs though). What I think will challenge me is the helmet, although it's beyond me how I'm going to scale the torso.
Well, until next time...

P.S. I'm going to add titbits of back-story. Next update: Early years
