vshore100's CQB build (pic heavy)

[vshore100]

Looks amazing Vshore! I always love seeing successful molding/castings of great helmets! There is one thing that sticks out to me though. It looks like you molded your helmet like pretty much everyone else does, create a single piece mold and support it with a two-piece mother mold. If that's the case, how did that seam on the back sneak in there?

Well, seam or not, it looks great! I've been watching this build from the beginning and you've always produced amazing results. I can't wait to see the entire build together.

Thanks carpathia, that really means a lot. Your build is an inspiration to me man...just saying. As far as the mold goes, he had to cut the back portion of the mold about a quarter of the way up in order to get the helmet out. That's why you see that little seam there.

Thanks for the comments Nogood but I didn't do the mold. My buddy Tony (blackula727) did it for me. I just did all the helmet work.

Thank you my good man, I can't wait to see it!

Update for you guys and gals! I have the thigh and shin painted. I'm not sure if I'll have these lit up for Halo-ween or not. The cheapo dollar store lights I bought are kinda big and there's not much room inside so I think it'll have to wait until I buy actual led's. But any way...onto the pics!

Sorry for the darkish photos, I'll try and do better. That's all for now. Trying to bust out this work in the shop so I can get back to building full steam ahead, instead of just a little bit here and there at home. Thanks for looking and keep building peeps!

I have no doubt you can do it phoenix. Remember, patience is key. You have to be willing to take your time if you want it done right. Best of luck to you in your future build. I look forward to seeing progress on it.

Good news, the mold is on it's way to me as we speak, and with work slowing down in the shop, I should be able to get back on the armor very soon. Not to mention I'm off work all next week. So after a couple of days doing stuff with the family, I'll be building there too. I've got a lot of work to do if I want to make it in time for Halo-ween!!!;D
