3 Days ago I started making master chief's armor from halo 2, I found a pretty inexpensive way, it uses paper modeling of life sized peices, then resining the peices to make them hard, then fiberglass and bondo, and of course some paint, several masterchief Suits out there are made this way, and are very durable and cheap to make.
I started making the helmet and came out with this (without resin or fiberglass applied yet, just the paper model)
It is a 90-95% accurate helmet and is life sized. The only problem is...I'm not 7 feet tall like masterchief is, so this helmet is way to large for me, I'm only 5 feet 8 inches tall. So now I will be spending ANOTHER 3 days making a better helmet and one that does fit.
After I complete the helmet, I will be making the full armor, it'll take me probably 1-2 months to make, but, the top image is a good achievement, cutting out 21 pages of paper, folding over 1000 folds, and glowing 300+ tabs.
EDIT: the helmet wont actually be finished since it is kinda too big, also, the spikey peices of paper where the visor should be are just tabs to attack a paper visor. I decided not to attack it because IF THIS WAS usable, then I would have used a real plastic visor from a motorcycle/dirt bike helmet.

I see others wearing their armor and it looks 1337, I see me wearing this, I look like a retard because of the size of the thing and the size of my own head, it's like those oversized toddler bike helmets, they look stupid, That was made from plain printer paper, the next one will be card stock which is more durable in paper modeling. Plus, when I resin it, cardstock doesnt absorb much liquid, so it wont bend over from having liquid on it, this first attempt would because it's super thin and absorbs tons of liquid.

No masterchief isnt built like a robot, the undersuit can be easily bought for 80 dollars (I might just use black jogging pants and a black long sleeve tshirt lol)
I'm thinking of just going back to stormtroopers for the whole armor, their plastic quality is thicker and higher and glossier, so I guess maybe i'll just stick with what I loved in the begining....STOOOOORRRMTROOPERS.
Whatever I do get, I know the first thing I will do.
Go to work on a day I am off and demand a discount because I'm either a imperial trooper that will kill the cashier, or I am masterchief, so famous, If i dont get a discount, I'll just say "i'm freakin masterchief danggit!"
Then maybe go to the mall in it, then to a gamestop, then to my local grocery store...Oh the fun i will have when I buy a suit of armor.
Btw. Saw a video of a stormtrooper vs masterchief, stormtrooper armor is built to reflect laser blast as said in star wars, masterchief isnt. Masterchief shot everything at the trooper, trooper lived...trooper shot masterchief...chief died.

His suit was the most accurate there is, and it's made from heavy thick plastic to be really unbreakable from normal use.
Heres my pic of my finished helmet

If i was 7 foot tall, I would resin and fiberglass this one, but since i'm not.....I'm going to walmart to buy come cardstock and reprint the lines and recut everything and REDO IT ALL.
I might just wait for microsoft's newest masterchief armor, since they will be mass producing it, it may be cheaper than a fanmade kit for 700 dollars.
Yep....the offical armor is always 1337er
