Halo Youth Costume

[OptimusWang]

Built this for my 6 y/o nephew last year for Halloween. He ended up going through a growth spurt, so I had to scrap the original peps/measurements I had taken in September and start over on Oct 10th to have it done by the 28th for a party... no rush or anything :eek

The red is the original, green is new size. No time for bondo in this timeframe

Testing the new fit.

Putting it all together.

Can't forget the assault rifle! It's the knock-off that Toys R Us sells repainted.

And here he is in the finished costume 2 weeks after I started. He kept growing throughout the build, so I ended up jigsawing off chunks the day before his party, resulting in some oddness, like having to wear the shoulders backwards :lol

I've been lucky that my kid's growing like a crystal. Still looks awesome without the bondo!

Thanks! I don't have kids, so I've always taken it for granted. Other than the helmet (which he insists on wearing when we play Halo together) he can't wear any of it now.
