My Custom Design

Ok guys,

Got my gaunts pretty much finished! As with all my armor so far it still needs dirtying up and maybe a little padding in places but he paint and fiting of these gaunts is now done! I also finished my thighs and fitted my cod and butt plate too. ;) LOL!

Sorry for the bad lighting. It's midnight here and these were taken on my phone camera.
 
HEY!!

Pepakura is a wonderful tool for costuming! Not just in the Halo costuming world too! ;)

I didn't build this with the help of Pepakura, I couldn't have done it without Pepakura.
 
Ok guys,

I'm hoping for a test fit later but if I don't manage it, here are some pics of todays efforts.

Got my blaster painted and slightly weathered, painted my biceps, thighs, shins and handplates as well as made and painted my foot plates.

Tonight I hope to get all the velcro and straps fitted and be ready for my first full testfit!! If I'm ready in time I'll take a load of pics. ;)

The blaster I got cheap from a guy here in the UK. It was a broken ROTJ scratcbuild which I thought would serve nicely as my custom blaster until my deece is finished. The sights are mounted off centre too which I like the look of.
 
Thanks buddy.

Well, I ran out of time for a testfit tonight but I have managed to get all my armor done!!!!! :D

There's more weathering to do and some padding to add to the gaunts and lid but that's it!

I'll be putting it all on tomorrow for my application pics to the Mercs! By then my new neckseal should have arrived too. ;)

Come on! :) You of all people know how much time I've sank into this gear over the past few weeks!

I gotta get the kids to bed, sort the baby, then I'll be in good shape to get suited up. A womans work is never done eh? LOL!
 
Ok, so it went "Ok" lastnight. I got all my gear on and felt like it was fitting me just fine, but my wifey wasn't telling me that my upper belt had slipped as it was too loose. :( So now my belly looks like it was straining to burst free! LOL! It isn't even that big. Is it? LOL!

So tonight I'm gonna do it again but I'll get her to take more care in telling if things look loose or whatever!

I've selected some more pics to post for you guys, feedback is always weclome vode!

There's a few tweaks to make. The thighs were slipping down so need some velcro on my suit and the backs of the thigh plates to help hold them in place. Helmet didn't take long to fog up at all so I'm thinking of putting a fan in there? Belts need tightening too.

My boots I think looked great on but they killed my feet! I have fairly wide feet and these boots are rather narrow. :( They're steel toe too so there's not much give in them. I'll be selling these to any of you guys who may like then and have narrower feet than me. They're quite unusual in that they have a round foe in the boot but a square toe sole. ;)

PM me if you're interested at all? They're a size 10(UK).
 
Thanks, I need to make some small tweaks. Adjust those belts for a start!! Still for them to have slipped it must mean I've lost some weight since I first fitted them. ;)

I just bought my new boots and should have those in a day or two. :)
