You're really cool. 8)

This is probably the coolest thing on the internet right now.

I want a full spartan suit. Wait, what model of Mjolnir are you using and any special parts?

this is so cool my friend has wanted to do something similar for a year now but he is such a procrastinator

Renwaldo: thanks! ha ha well im not the only one doing it, but it is pretty awesome XD

Kardrack: im doing VI and all standard, down the road i might make a custom reach suit.

Were: its ALOT of time and effort... but SO worth it.

I actually know someone looking to buy a suit for his comedy satire show on youtube. He claims he found one for $60 but it will probably be ass quality like foam or cheap plastic or something.

Ya... at $60? probably pretty shoddy work... mine materials alone is going to be a minimum of $200 and thats lowballing it HARD

should get some of the newer style halo reach mods made too, would be badass

also, doing it in cast aluminum would be badass if the resources were available

Been looking into the reach armor, will see what happens.. the Cast aluminum would not actually be TOO hard, but the cost incurred would be brutal, what with needing a smelter and what-not, my shop is equiped for metal working, but not forging...

i did aluminum casting in highschool, i wish i took better advantage of it and made the mjolnir armour
