My first Master Chief armor Build

[TheMasterChef]

Hello to all, this was my first armor build. While it might look fine on the out side the rigging I used to hold the legs up were absolutely horrible and very painful. Most of this was made when I had time in between work or school. I had to rush a bit at the end but I think it still turned out great. Here's a few photos to document the best thing I've made so far.

I sadly didn't take any pictures for any of the armor being printed out but I got a ton of all the bondoing.

The armor looks great!! How is it I missed another Master Chief at Megacon?

What was your rigging like for your legs? Have you found a new way you would like to do it?

Thanks so much! I use velcro to hold the legs up but it turns out that adhesive velcro does not stick to cloth very well. I also had sponges as cushions to help hold the armor in place but it wasn't enough. I'm trying make straps that attach to the legs and go over the shoulders kind of like overalls so that the legs don't sang down anymore.

Yeah the straps is what I do and its honestly amazing. I do cross body to keep them in place, the only thing I would recommend with that method is to make sure there's no exposed skin on your neck because the straps WILL rub and any amount of walking will turn into crazy rug burns
