Mjolnir MKIV Build

[Masky]

Gauntlets done! The part that stole my motivation to continue building is done finally. I know the handplate is backwards in this picture, it will be mounted with velcro so don't worry.

Now I just need to dremel all the parts, add more details, clips and webbing, seal and paint. More than 2 weeks for all that so I should be able to make it!

I spent the last days adding velcro and clips so I could wear parts. Also dremeled a lot and connected some stuff like shins to knee pads and shoulders to biceps pieces. The shins are so small at the bottom that I had to plan in a opening that can be closed with velcro to be able to slip my foot in.

Finally I was able to wear the whole thing! And damn does it feel good to wear. Can't wait to finish it.

the stuff on the floor is our dogs work please ignore haha

Despite mostly rainy weather this week I found some timeslots where it did not rain to prime and paint most armor parts. Really happy with the color. I picked Montana Cans G1170 Nato for the base.

Before paint: That's a great foam work. Gonna be great.
After spraying paint: THAT'S A MARK 4 ARMOR RIGHT THERE!

Sorry for the wait but the past week was crazy crunch wise. I spent every free minute to get the armor ready for the con. But I made it!
There was a lot of painting left to do and the whole helmet needed to be dremeled out some more to fit visor and vents and I added some textured foam to add detail to thighs and boots. This time I shaded my parts to give them extra depth which added a ton to the overall look.

And then finally after almost 3 years (started the first part in january 2020) it was done! I have to admit i was surprised how it turned out when I looked at myself for the first time in the mirror.


First con went great, feels amazing to wear and I got great response. Only one shoe came apart but it was an easy fix at the on con repair station. I am so glad that I finally finished this thing!

Some more unedited pictures with the old visor problem, I have to add mirrored foil in the future as the layer of alclad is not enough for pictures with flash.
Second Spartan is 247District in his new MK VII armor.

Woo I'm loving it! And definitely not jealous at how smooth your sealing turned out... What did you do it with?

Heatseal, 5 coats of Hexflex (mixed with water 5:1) and then 1 light and one normal coat of seal prime. After that 2 coats of paint (Montana GOLD). The hex flex part takes ages but totally worth it.

Okay guys. I ever wanted to do a nice halo cosplay. Im prototyping for a year now. First made a EOD Helmet and now I started with the MK IV / Jerome Cosplay. Still work in progress, but I put a lot of time into sanding untill its perfect

The Front Helmet also was a Prototype which I going to use for painting tests.

Hello, elNoX , you have a great start there, but I would reccomend starting your own thread to document your build, rather than cluttering up Masky's thread here about his build with images of your suit.
