I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Just like the guys did at Nightmarearmor.com and now their site is down. I have all the instructions on how and what I need to pull this off. We'll see if we can make this for relatively cheap as compared to those guys.

I will start with the chest armor, then arms and legs, and after i'm experienced at that stuff, i'll go for the helmet.

tomorrow i'm going to see if i can get guys together and fund this endevour... it'll be great. Later, samus armor and stuff like that...

so this will take some time... i'll document it so far we're starting with good blueprints of the suit:

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

sounds great...

can't wait to see your progress

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Could I pay you to make a suit for me?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

just curious, at what point does this start to be classified as an obsession?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Sounds like fun.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

crazy. Good luck!

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Wasn't Fox 6 one of the ones that got toasted?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

probably at this point... but hey, i'll be learning a new hobby and trade...

you've got to admit, a lot of poeple would like armor of their own, if only to wear on holloween

add a poll, and we'll see!

RE: Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

You seem uncertain. Do you often use a computer there?Interesting.
You've got my full attention. How do you plan to do this?I don't have to do whatever you say. I have my own free will.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

a member from agb was recently at a halo 2 hype party thing.



Maybe it's the same suit.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Are you talking about Star Wars Space battles? Becuase if you are they had groups by colours. for example: Red 5 ( luke Skywalker),l Red 3, Gold 4. Oh and Rouge Squaderen. That was supposed to be an elite group or something.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

What would you even do with the costume? Just have it or wear it? I think it would be great to go to a mall or something and walk around.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

*thinking of Halloween*

mmm...ultimate costume...

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

That's like making a lightsaber that doesn't work.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

*thinks of Triumph the insult comic dog* :D "we're now witnessing the ritual banging of the plastic toys!" Hm that wasn't really correct. Gotta love it. :p (If you haven't seen it [or like to see it again:D]: http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/bl...WARS.NERDS.wmv )

I'd like one of those hoodies that IGNs Matt is wearing!

He says that Target sells them, but I can't find them on their website. And I don't think they'd ship to Holland.... :(

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

we have a place in the mall that sells a bunch of nintendo shirts and stuff. like...
http://www.80stees.com/pages/t-shirt...o_t-shirts.asp

some of them. but the store, i forget its name, has more, and some pretty funny ones too.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

I have a plain Nintendo shirt like that; it's white with the red logo. I saw a couple people at PAX with hoodies like that. I also saw a guy with a Nintendo Power track suit. Now that was le pwnage.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Hey Cany, check this out. It's not a hoodie, but the same color and style (the top one, of course): http://www.emp.de/bin/shop.php?prog=...3&origin=outer

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

alright, never judge a work in progress, but i thought i'd show you what is happening so you can see the progression:


everything is real rough, i haven't bought any sand paper yet... plus the pictures suck... you can't see the plane changes.









and with a little photoshop color:

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Looking good! I would have quit reading the instructions >_>

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

no, the yellow paper is an invite to a holloween party... i'm unaware of any halo armor instructions ( i could use some!)

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Are you going to the Halloween party?

Your prototype armor models are looking good. I can't wait to see the final product.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Im not raggin on you for doin this.....and maybe i missed it....but why are you doing this again? For Halloween? Please say its for Halloween.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Because I'm a huge dork...


...Yeah, for halloween... :sneaky:

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Thanks Bube, I just saw that Large.nl also sells the same T-shirts, I think it's from the same company.

But I still want that hooder. :(

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

:devil2: the halo armor is a good thing but not when someone makes them self they should have someone whose dose that for a living and it would look so bad

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

will you be able to finish it in time?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

started molding plastic today... stuff is expensive... liquid plastic is running me like 20 bux per part....looking real good though, i'll get pictures up as soon as i can.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

How's the armor coming along? Incase you've becomed discouraged, I found a company that makes the suits for $3,500. They're currently not selling them because they're relocating their workshop and stuff I think but I believe they plan on selling them again as well as other suits.

Here's an article about them: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/ha...s_6086541.html

And here's their site: http://www.nightmarearmorstudios.com/index.html

They have some cool pictures at their site in the 'future' section. Anyway, give us an update and some pictures of your progress.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

their site doesnt work...

RE: Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

How is their site broken?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

apperently it's down or something...

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

That's their old site, their new site is the second link I provided. Perhaps this would be a good time to bring back your old red car avatar.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

awesome. send a picture when it's finished. i never played halo, but that armor does look pretty cool.(but i have seen RvB) but yeah, every year, at the end of school for the japaanese animation club, there's a cosplay party. went as Neo last time. going as a gundam or EVA or something of that sort would be awesome. but yeah, keep up the cool work!

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

In other news, progress on this is coming along swimmingly.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Haha, I can't believe its been three years. This has become quite the endeavor.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

wow...very nice...good job man...how much more to go till it's done?

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

It looks great, dude!

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

Pretty sweet armour.

A bit excessive but eh.

Re: I'm Making the Halo armor
 

nice! Where are you going to wear it?
