Foam Ranger's Halo: Reach Build

Helmet's all wired now! Got 2 individually controlled fans and the wireless mic all hooked up
Stashed a spare battery in my thigh... just in case.

If you wanna make one cheap!
Maybe one day i'll try. but probably not lol.

Lol I tried to make a vaccuforming machine a few years back. I'm glad I didnt document it though because it did not work as well as I would have liked and I'd rather people didn't follow my lead lol.

That's some awesome wiring! Great job! What mic did you use?

It's a Shidu kit on Amazon that came with a speaker. This was ridiculously expensive, like $80-100, but I've 0 complaints about it so far and the quality is great.

Awesome! Those kinds of mic's are always desirable. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! I haven't regretted putting a mic and speaker in my suit for even a minute.

Haha right?! Thankfully these are easy to reproduce because it's literally the front and backyard.

Build still looking badass sir!

 

[RandomRanger]

I made my spineplates, new undershirt should be made soon. Gonna make a full longsleeve.

After the shirt, I just gotta get the knife and then I should be ready to deploy!

Real good looking suit you got there Ranger. You need to make a tutorial on how you did your undersuit pants.

And stores need to stock reasonably priced sewing machines again.

I'm considering making a YouTube tut vid for it. So I just might ;-)

Previous post just might have been a reminder for you to do that after seeing the discussion around it on Discord.

 

[RandomRanger]

Made the undersuit shirt, now there's no shoulder straps!

 

[RandomRanger]

Here's some pics of just the under suit

As OP I reserve the right to revive this thread! I finally finished my Reach Build and sent in a deployment application. Check out some sick pics!
