After trying my hand in different costumes and props over the last two years with Venom, Magneto and Spider-Man, I wanted to try another technique with foam and wanted to do another of my favorite characters in Master Chief from the Halo series.
I've never used foam before and wanted to learn something new. I also didn't have the files for the armor I wanted to build, so I went at this using my eyes, a 6" action figure and loads of reference photos.
First, my inspiration came from the Forward Unto Dawn web series that came out in 2013. It was live action and the first time we get to see Chief moving in "real life". The mjolnir armor looked fantastic on the screen and I wanted to replicate it.


I watched videos, read threads on foam-building and bought supplies for practice.
I'll spare you the pics of every piece of foam I layered. You can find better step-by-step foam build threads.
Here's what I have so far...









One of the gauntlets is a FUD design and one is a Halo 3 design. Just my own little nod as H3 was my favorite.
Both arms are completely finished.
Thighs are finished. Boots and Cod are next.
Will update as I go.
