RoxyRoo's Chick Armor

[Ronster]

Roxy, that chest piece looks really tight, literally. I can't really see how you're attaching it together, but I'd definitely use some elastic webbing...
When I built my chest piece for a non-Halo related project, I didn't use elastic webbing and, once I had everything on, I could barely inhale all the way...
Just make sure you're trying everything on as you're working on it, so you can keep breathing normal

 

[RoxyRoo]

Actualy, it's a bit loose. XD My mannequin is slightly bigger than me, because of the clothes I wore underneath it while making it and all the layers of duct tape. When I actually put it on, it fits pretty nicely.

I approve of "Take 5" by Dave Brubeck coming on the radio in the background towards the end...and what was that string quartet bit at the end? It's Linkin Park, yes?

 

[Rosh]

that video makes me miss you guys so much! keiths arms are coming along nicely, not to mention your torso! April is finall over so I will be more available in the coming weeks- im going crazy not building something and i need to get back over there!

 

[RoxyRoo]

@Finelargeaxe:
Yes. That is totally SQ version of a Linkin Park song. ^^

@Rosh:
^_^ aww. We miss you too! Jesus was complaining about not having his other ODST with him. lol
Speaking of which, we have a new member! His name is Jose and he's also doing an ODST. He's fun, and we've all agreed that he'll be our local "Lance Corporal Sh** Talker". lol! Wednesday is our new Build Day. Rick, Jesus and now Jose have been coming regularly *knock on wood*. We'd be glad to have you. If you can't make it on Wednesday, let me know when you are available and I'll check if my schedule is free.

the song is "Faint" By Linkin Park.

Thanks for the update on the fan films, had no idea other than operation chastity anybody with seriously working on anything. Exceeded for your current project can’t wait to see the storyboard sketch and I’m sure you can’t release them until the film comes out. On a side note Matthew thought you’re totally awesome because you play Halo and are building Halo armor to. Thanks for playing a couple of games with them for some reason he gets super chatty when playing live with my friends.
You should sign up for the 405th tournament and we’d have a close quarters beat down specialist

Hehehe. Beat Down Specialist. I like that! XDD

Yeah. Storyboards are under wraps until further notice. >.> I'd love to show them off too, but that's not up to me. And tell Matthew that he can play with me any time. My friend took his Xbox back, so I won't play for a bit, but I'll probably get back on soon. For some reason his love of playing online has died, so he keeps "loaning" it back to me. XD If my friend gives it back to me before the tournament, I'll be sure to join. ^_^

I hate double posting, so here's a small update.

I've been working on my chest piece, slowly.. very slowly. Pictures will be coming soon. Today though, I decided to play with colors. Here's the paint job that i've been considering. I think I want a darker brown though, like my icon. Photoshop was being difficult and wouldn't use the color replacement brush right.

The left shoulder will have a knife attatchment, and her right ear will have a video camera attachment. Yes. Helmet cameras do exist. And I want one. I saw them on ebay with HD for less than $300. >:] I'll be putting more scuffing and grime on there when I actually paint it all, but this pic was just to see my color placements.

There's an awesome camera online (somewhere) it's got full cam specs (like 10 megapixels? IDK I don't know a lot about cam's, basically like the same quality as you'd get in most cameras) and is about the length of 2 quarters. And it's 70 bucks. It's also HD. Sadly I can't find it but my friend has it bookmarked if you'd like.

RoxyRoo How is your build coming !? Have you made a file for the helmet and chest piece ? I uploaded my video for the dawn under heaven project …. It was pretty hard filming myself also awkward ,you and the rest of the team make it look easy … but there’s one thing that concerns me , haven’t seen your sisters build yet ????

PS the colors look pretty cool !!

 

[RoxyRoo]

The build is going slow. >_> Working on something new. I'm not going to say anything more until I have something finished though.

XD Yeah. Shooting video is always kinda awkward when your talking to a camera lens.
My sister is building a marine pilot, but she hasn't gotten past the chest piece. She hasn't even glued it together. It's making me worried too. D=

I found this thred and it inspired me to make somthing easy and fun, Thus I created the top portion of the Halo Legends Spartan shoulder armor. It's not 100% accurate I just winged it on Google sketchup, plus I didn't have very good reference Pictures. If anyone wants me to edit it in any way just tell me what to do and I'll get on it.

Love the build so far. But I do have One question for you? is there more to this pic that you can show us. The detail is out of this world and I'd love to see the the whole thing head to toe. Thank you in advance, and/or if you don't have it it's understandable.

First of guys, this thread is DEAD. Please check my Mark V Build Thread for updates. http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/34127-RoxyRoo-s-Reach-Build

As for your question, just google "Kelly Halo Legends". This is a character from a short film done by some japanese company. I wanted to build her armor, but no pepakura models existed for it. It proved too hard for me to make, so I moved on to doing Reach armor.
