Hi all. I have not posted on the RPF before but have been reading your posts for some time now. very good stuff! I am wanting to make a Halo 4 costume at some point in the future. I am also aware of the probs with materials for the undersuit, so i thought i would start with that. This is what i came up with. It is latex and very strechy and strong. The hex's are aroumd 7mm and the latex is about 1 to 2mm thick. Just need to make up a pile of this stuff and i'm off!!

Hey, where did you get this? Did you make it yourself? I was lucky to find tiles in my local hardware store that had the hex pattern on the back. I bought a pack and I am planning to produce latex or silicone sheets reinforce with cloth to create the Spartan

Hi Dirtsen.
Made it myself. It is latex, i did it from a plaster mould i made of a foam master. Its 41 cm long and 28 cm wide. Because its a plaster mould you can use a thick layer of latex in one go and it dry's out fine, its also strong and i prob wont need to reinforce it, its also very flexable!!
Gona do a few other sizes for the back of the gloves etc and the other masters for other details on the undersuit.

Great work, Blackdog! I just finally got into Halo 4 and aim to make armor of my own. Are you selling any of your latex honeycomb sheets?

This is sweet, I would be interested in buying some myself. Looking forward to seeing the final costume.

Holy crap! That's dead on! Make sheets large enough and putting it together would be a hell of a lot easier. I've been searching for a decent material like this. I think the best method for recreating an accurate undersuit would be the same way the Tron Legacy film suits were made...
