Updating from a friend's house. Yay for hijacking other people's internet, eh?

Test fitting the chest plate. Gonna try and put straps on my upper arms and pad my lower arms later tonight so I can try on the whole upper body together with the undersuit.

It's a tad big for me in the pec department, but with the undersuit/ rest of the armour on/ maybe some padding it won't be too noticeable (I hope)

Crazy Awesome.

How is the visibility? And how well does it move/breathe?

Small update. My housemate's caught up to me, so we took some photos together. His gloves aren't ready yet and my belt still needs strapping. Sorry for the quality of the photos, mobile phone.

Just got back from the MCM Expo. Had an amazing time there, it was awesome! Met two other Spartans as well, there was an amazing Mk VI Master Chief by a guy called RedTogusa from 405th.com and another guy in similar armour he bought from eBay. There was also a guy called Peter Cooper who'd built a freakin' Warthog! That's right, a full size Warthog. It was quite amusing actually, when we went to see the Warthog be unveiled, me, my housemate and the other two members of the 405th got mistaken as having come with the Warthog, when in actuality it was just a coincidence. We couldn't move for about a half hour because people were taking photos XD

I didn't take many photos myself (kinda hard to find a pocket for a camera in the armour, but mine and my housemates girlfriends took a few which I'll post here for you guys to enjoy. There's bound to be others pop up on the web and if I find a decent pic of the Warthog, I'll post it here too.

My housemate's full armour, just before we left. (Yes, that's me in the background)

My full armour, just before we left. Unfortunately, the upper legs of my armour broke off and were beyond repair so most of the other shots don't have my upper legs in them. My housmate's upper legs broke later in the day, so we eventually matched XD

We met a Cortana there which was quite cool.

With RedTogusa

Yes, we let people hold the gun

Fight!!!

With Red again

I love this photo of Adam.

Joanna again <3

The weary warriors.

I had an absolute blast, thanks to anyone who was at the Expo for making it a fantastic weekend! I'm going to several conventions next year but I might retire my Spartan costume as it took a lot of effort to travel with it and by the end of the day it's taken a lot of damage. The lower half of it is in a state of such disrepair it'd be easier to rebuild some of it.

Thanks Chaos. Shame we couldn't get all the Stormtroopers in the shot, but lots of other people took photos of that little stand off so there's bound to be other angles and stuff floating around.
