Hey everyone! This is my fist official Halo build. What I am going to be doing is constructing several helmets. These will be Mjolnir Mark IV Gen 1 helmet, Mjolnir Mark V Gen 1, Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 1, Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 2 MOD, and finally Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 3. I will probably not do all of these projects back to back, but I will eventually finish (the fight) each helmet.
I'm gonna give background for each helmet just cause I think it would be nice to have info on each helmet right here for clarification on the helmet details. Plus I like Science fairs
So first up Mjolnir Mark IV Gen 1. Mk IV was introduced into the UNSC in the year 2525. Mk IV was incredibly durable and nearly indestructible, by human standards, it became the main line armor worn by the SPARTAN-IIs in the start of the Human-Covenant War. I am going to be making the standard version of Mk IV seen in Halo Wars. I would have loved to make John-117's base Mk IV helmet, but unfortunately, we have no confirmed appearance on what this looked liked. We do have pictures and videos of John wearing Mk-IV, like the covers of the the Fall of Reach, Silent Storm, and Oblivion, or the movie the Fall of Reach, Halo Legends, and Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, but due to these looking widely different, many fans have theorized that these are several different versions of the Mk IV armor.
Next is Mjolnir Mark V Gen 1. Mk V was introduced several decades into the Human-Covenant War. It utilized energy shields salvaged and altered from Covenant technology and was compatible with mobily transporting AI. Master Chief used this armor in his first appearance, Halo: Combat Evolved. For this helmet, I will use make the standard style seen in Halo CE by Master Chief.
Next up is Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 1. Mk VI begun prototype testing in 2552 by the use of Mk V(B) and Mjolnir: Black. After Reach fell, Mk VI was officially greenlit and was given out to the SPARTAN-IIs who arrived at Earth. Maria-062 field tested the Mk VI armor that was later given to John-117 on October 20th of 2552. This armor is seen in Halo 2 and 3 (They do look slightly different, but this is simply just the update in graphics from 2004-2007). I will be making the one from Halo 3.
Next is Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 2 MOD. This armor is unique to John-117. Mk VI was updated to the 2nd Generation platform while John-117 was in cyrosleep. During those several years, the AI Cortana updated and repaired Master Chief's armor. This was then called Mk VI MOD, which is DIFFERENT than the Mk VI Gen 2 MOD. Chief continued to wear Mk VI MOD throughout the rest of Halo 4. The armor was only updated to the 2nd Generation platform to be Mk VI Gen 2 MOD after the Mission to Installation 03. So this brings us to Halo 5: Guardians in which Chief wears Mk VI Gen 2 MOD. This is the version I will be making.
Finally we have Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 3. Official production of Mk VI Gen 3 armor was introduced when the 3rd Generation platform came into wide use. On October 7th of that year, Master Chief was given his Mk VI Gen 3 armor. This is the armor we see in Halo Infinite and is Chief's current armor. This is the version I will be doing for Mk VI Gen 3.
So now that all the long crazy (but cool) background is done, I'll be going over how I am planning on tackling this big task. For each helmet I plan to 3D print the helmets, unless something happens then I will convert over to Pepakura and cardstock. Thanks to the amazing armory, finding the 3D print files was no issue. Each helmet will have it's own problems and obstacles that I will have to figure out how to beat and I will share any info that I found helpful or anything I discover over this journey. I'll leave a link to each of the supplies I purchase to help shorten the time for anyone else who might want to tackle this same project. Thank you for reading this long, almost essay, and please share any details that might help!
