MLC's journey to becoming MC!

[SPARTAN405]

Just a heads up guys, you CAN do this with card stock as well.

 

[Halo 1]

That's a sweet gat bro...just oozes sexyiness somehow. Again, love the detail work! Will you be scratchbuilding the torch in front or using a pre-existing 'Maglite' for it?

Stay safe,

Tim.

Knowing that I would have this AR molded last (costume first), I havent gone that far ahead into thinking what I would do.
However, I do like the scratchbuild method & adding electronics again so all could be run by a single battery source

Update 12/12/07

I had the torso armor re-painted, gelcoated the interior black, strapping on the shoulder (to act as hinge) and velcroed both sides on the flange.
Pics on my now page 5 of the photo album:

Pics of me holding the AR (still in card ) and a new pair of airsoft gloves.
LMK what you think.

Damn, you're just a professional at being awesome, huh? Love your armor so far. The torso armor seems a tad big but it does fit in proportion with the helmet. Keep on rockin', bro!

 

[SPARTAN405]

I think it looks TERRIBLY Awesome! haha. Its really coming along nicely. And I like the clean look.

 

[Halo 1]

Bro,

Copy that on the AR parts scratchbuild...can't wait to see what you come up for that.

Love the work so far...how's the torso armor holding up on your bod? As is, or did you pad it as well?

Stay safe,

Tim.

Thanks guys - appreciate the comments!

It just hangs on my shoulder while the 2 sides is perfectly snug enough to hold around my body

Hey MLC,

You know what would be neat. You know how in the premier trailer (where it shows the two kids in the field) where he puts the AR on his back plate?

I think it would be a neat idea that after the AR is done, is that you can position rare-earth metal magnets in corrisponding locations on both back piece and AR so that you can just swing it over your shoulder and let it snapp into place.

Awesome idea! Thank you sir!
Would you have pics of these rare-earth magnets & where could I possibly find them at?
Kudos again sir!

They sell the small ones at radio shack for sure..lemme find a site really quick.

They have videos showing the strength of them, one was a small disk, holding up an anvil and a steal beam section, with a large person sitting on them (you wont need it that strong now though lol) BRB

Alright, there's one site. Its linked to the disks that would seem large enought for this project, but there are several pages. It also labels the magnet's holding power, just have to guage what you think will work. I can tell you that these are very strong. Hope this helps!

Bro,

Shoot me a PM for the earth magnets, the electronics store I frequent carry quite a few, and in different sizes. I'm using the small ones for my Fett Helm Earcap.

Stay safe,

Tim.

I've been following this for awhile and just wanted to say amazing work on all your stuff here! This will be a truly astounding set of armor.

And your hard mold technique is unique with excellent results. Looking forward to the next pieces you're working on.
