Here we are I have finished my suit for the convention I have coming up memorial day weekend I still plan to do more with this at some point since I wanted to make Jun but I want to have much more time in making it and I still have some people that had planed to make suits this year to make the whole Noble team but they didn't get to so I will go with this until then.


The thigh took me 4 hours to figure out what to do with the inner parts since the first try make them so I could fit into them at some point I may remake them since I still am not that happy with them.

I noticed I forgot to take anymore pictures of the boots progress after this I will have to get some but right now I have the entire suit packed up for the convention coming up this memorial day weekend

Shin painting from deep forest green to weathered deep forest green

Padding inside the helmet from a motocross helmet I had around from a old costume project

(Continued)

Did a test wear of the armor and it all went on with no problems and took much less time to get on than my last armor, my roommates camera made the visor see through since he was using the flash but it is a gold visor should be fine at the convention this coming weekend.

wow! just WOW! that is some amazing stuff right there, you even remembered about the random spine thingy!
god to see that you can fit it all into a nice small container
so, whats next? may i recomend a lovely undersuit to go with that lovely armour?

 

[gmstrowabarton]

Thanks want to make the undersuit but I will need some more practice sewing and/or help to make it. The spine was a quick think of using an old spine protector from a motocross chest piece also would like to make that too from scratch. This suit was originally planned out to become Jun so I still have work to do on it until then and I have another friend that will be making Jorge so I will be helping him make that with possibly others wanting to make suit for next year and I think I might take a break from Halo armor and start some Mando armor. Now that doesn't mean if I find stuff to finish the Jun armor I wont do it and I will be working on the Jun helmet when I have the time in between things I want it really detailed so will take my time on it.

Here are some photos from the convention I was at this past weekend.
