Looks great, I like the Helmet. I know you put in alot more work than I did in my project. I was gonna try making a Hunter suit/costume but that sorta gotta delayed because im helping my parents pay the house payments.

 

[Monstermaker13]

thanks man

a hunter would be awsome

but the weight would be alot i guess

those things are what? 10-12 ft tall?

I was gonna try making a Hunter suit/costume

i may have to steal your idea :mrgreen:

iv been looking at pictures of hunters and it does seem do-able , but it would have to be the same as the elite, your head would be in the chest area unless you have special stilts, i will keep you all informed of my progress once i start :hyper:
