OMG it IS you! C2E2?
I've seen plenty of recent photos on Facebook from Ermac who wore Carter build.
I wasn't sure if it was you, as I didn't know if you completed and were at the con, but you were the first person I thought of.
DAMN you looked good!

Thank you for the compliment. I'm sure your build will be great! Just take your time, don't rush, and details details details
Dude, don't burn your suit!!!! But thanks for the nice words man. Just rebuild stuff if you want, that's what I did.

Yup, I was definitely at C2E2!! Thank you so much!! It was great to finally take the armor out and see if people would actually like it. Though no one knew it was the FUD armor, if was still cool seeing people's faces light up

Damn, your suit came out AMAZING. One of the best! I really hope to see more photos of you.
Also, don't blame people. Most people just see Master Chief when they hear "Halo", they don't see his different armor in different games... and to recognize the details from the movie which many people didn't watch.
I think it came out perfectly!
Great job, Spartan!

Great job, what did you do to attach your rifle to your back? (Like I'm going to let you get away with providing details of you final product)

hey! beautiful build man! really impressive! i gotta ask tho, would you be willing to share your file you used to template the spine pieces?
Haha, thanks Chief! I don't know about that, but thank you for the flattering compliment
Also have a few new photos for an update. Got the spine all painted and weathered. Next step will be to attach each piece to an elastic strap, and attach to my back piece and underarmor. Here are some kinda boring pics:

I used a couple rare earth magnets. Worked like a charm
The spine I actually free-handed and didn't use any kind of pep file. I wanted an accurate look, so that's how I had to do it.

Hahahaha, never! I don't mind sharing all my ideas and secrets for making stuff. People have certainly helped me get to where I am, so I'd love to pass that down to others.

Mate! You're amazing!
I can't believe how good you look, like you just walked straight out of the movie!
Seriously, one of the best builds I've seen. The accuracy and level of detail is astonishing.
Also, just a question - it's the same weapon you made out of foam, right? Is it heavy?

Thank you so much for those nice words, I'm very flattered. Thank you
Yes, the AR you see is the one I posted pictures of me building and painting. Even with the battery, it weighs .95 pounds, so the magnets keep it stuck to my back very easily. Made out of 2 thicknesses 1/2" foam core as a base, and various layered craft foam around that. Thus, the weight is extremely light, which was the point.
