Mad stache grooming abilities right there! Oh and the foam works pretty good too! Top notch work! Look forward to seeing this thing finished.
Yeah, I 3d printed everything but it cab be hard to walk and move. I am looking at the basic reach armor, with some mods. Building for myself and my son for Comic Con in NYC.Thank you! Have you checked the armory? What armor are you making?
motivation gang gangHello everyone. Update coming tomorrow because Rock Lobbster bullied me in discord tonight.
Looking great! cant wait to see the finished product!With C2E2 drawing closer, I've been making a mad dash to get everything built for the MK7. Here's a photo dump from the last few months:

Boots, thrusters and shoulders left to build. I ordered paint, primary will be red as you see on the recon helm above. I need to add a buckle to the belt as I've already damaged it several times putting it on (it has to go on like a pair of pants ATM). I don't think I'm going to have time to finish a weapon prop for c2e2, though I would have liked to make a matching infinite AR. I have a sidekick I could probably finish in time but it looks am awful lot like I real gun. Maybe I'll just paint the whole front orange. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this. How comfortable does everyone feel bringing UNSC weapon props in general?
Anyway, nearing the end of the build, just have to keep the intensity up for a few more weeks!
Best,
Crimson
Haha yeah I named the thread incorrectly when I made it. I didn't realize that the 7B was the helmet and the suit was just 7.Looking great! cant wait to see the finished product!
the Mk7B part had me confused at first lol but I caught on
This is some remarkable craftsmanship, great work!After a week and a half painting, the mk7 is finally painted. I can no longer discern what is reality and what is not, but it's painted, by golly.

So now I have to finish painting the MK7B helm and the assault rifle, then it's on to weathering.

Bonus pic of shiny helmet
I am looking forward to your write up!Last night I finished installing the electronics and padding into my helmet. After C2E2 I will do a full write up on the electronics side of things; here's some pictures in the meantime. The visor is tacked in with gorilla hot glue.

Tonight I will be mounting the chest electronics, strapping the knees, and coding the audio processor which helps stop the microphone from feeding back.
