The Thigh piece I had to do by Trial and Error. I ended up pepping 3 pieces till I got one that fit me --and-- one of the pieces ended up a bit warped but still fits and looks good.
Thanks! I'm still in the tweaking stages... otherwise I'd call it done.
Which blog?

Thanks!
I read up on your thread. Sorry to hear that your pulling the plug on the project.
FYI: I had spent about 6 weeks of solid reading and planning before tackling my project. YES the biggest hurdle is the scaling. There is no question about it. I had spent stupid amounts of time pepping my pieces and test fitting them before being able to go to the next stage. In fact I found that the pepping is the LONGEST part of the process. The rest goes quicker.
Good luck with your next attempt.
Cheers!

Ok guys.
Quick update on my move... I'm about 90% moved into my new location. My "Workshop" right now is acting as temorary storage for all the junk that found from moving. This Junk will get organized, stored and or recycled. I expect it to take me 1-2 weeks (maby 3) to sort all this out before I can get the area prepped up for workshop duties. Like the LED tutorial that I still want to do. I was hoping to get the tutorial done mid November but things don't always pan out the way that I want them to.
Other things still to do...
-Web site reorganization. Mostly to deal with the vast number of photos that I want to add.
-Pepping a weapon
-pep a new forearm piece to hold my iPhone (cortana)
-LED flasher to simulate Master Chiefs shields being regenerated.
and more...
Stay tuned!

Whew. Well I marathoned through this thread last night/this morning. I can tell you awesome job, but you know that already... but hell. Still. Awesome job!
Y'know when you're wearing the suit without the helmet, it confirms something I always suspected. Gordon Freeman is Master Chief! I KNEW IT! Hah, but seriously, first thing I thought when I saw you in it.
I have a question though. Well, two. Both related to the expanding foam. First... I don't get why you used it on the helmet. I know there's a reason but I never really saw what it was. You put it in around the visor, then cut the visor free, and I don't really know why.
Second, after you foamed the toe onto your boot, I saw the toe again later and it looked like there was no foam on it at all when you showed an image of the toe-piece off the boot. Does it (the foam) all stay stuck to the boot, or...?
And also, huge props, more than for the armor, for how you detailed everything and kept on top of questions. Stand-up contribution to the community, and that takes a lot more than it does, I think, to make a piece of armor. Hats off.

I can't wait to see the led tutorial. I also like the fact that your using your iPhone as Cortana.

Awesome, awesome work man. I just got Reach about a month ago, after not having played since 2 came out. It hyped me into wanting to make my own armor . I've done paper models in the past, so that part at least is familiar to me.
One question though...your site has been down for a few days, any idea when it'll be back up?

I just got it back up now. My servers power supply blew.
Had it replaced yesterday. Then had to run a restore from my backups due to one of the HDD's patch job earlier this month. I say patch job, because the repair process did not like the windows updates that I was doing. Technically it screwed up the GPT partion of the raid array's partition. I just finished rebuilding the GPT from the backup GPT.
Assuming that there are no more suprises... "It's fixed!" YAY!!!!!
I'll be answering and responding to the prev posts in due time... Need to verify that the patch job won't cause any more issues for future updates. This means that the site and pics will up and down a several times for the next 4 hours or so.
Thanks for your concerns.
