A buddy of mine hooked me up with a couple sets of 3D printed UNSC Halo Marine armor, and some weapons from the Halo games.
I painted them, rigged up some carriers for the armour out of hockey tape, grosgrain ribbon and paper towel.
I lined the under side of the armour and inside of the helmet with some fake leather I had kicking around for some extra stability and cushion.
I used some paper clip, with the tips daubed in glue and painted for the microphones. and a piece of clear soda bottle for a drop-down eyepiece.
I also replaced the strapping on an old ALICE ruck I had. More grosgrain ribbon, and paper towel rolled/folded and covered in hockey tape for the cushion band.
Had a lot of fun putting these guys together. Still have some tweaking (and minor repairs) to do. Have to make some liners with chinstraps for the helmets, and I may do some personalization and customization of the armour later on, too.
Enough shop talk! Here's the pics!
