And there is no doubt that Briar is the envy of all of his friends.

Who did this one?

hahaI like the visor...

I link how this one looks... what's the source?

 

[Killdnaction]

That is Nightmarearmor... they no longer make the armor, microsoft paid them off to stop making them, and bought like 50 suits( probally for the Halo movie coming out). But they wont even respond to any one that mails them about the armor. I have tried numerous times with no luck.

eh... that's what I figured, but wasn't sure. I don't understand what that undersuit with the yellow trim is for--is that how it's suppose to be?

It's nice looking armor, but I've heard so many bad things about Nightmare.

The under armor is paintball/hockey padding depend on who made the armor, the armor was good quility but towards the end it got worse b/c of all the hype from Microsoft and G4Tech Tv, they were unable to keep up with the demand and got sloppy, plus all therer molds were breaking down so lines were not as crisp as they began with. you can only do so many pulls from the mold before you have to re sculpt.

Speaking of that very thing, here is a link to a guy who did just that.  This guy extracted the 3D mesh file and unfolded it to run it through his color printer.

Do we have anybody here capable of this?

Where are the files? I could take them to Kinkos to get printed. Are the proportions correct? Even on the Muckle statue, the proportions look a bit off.

Richie and Briar, fantastic work--the both of you. :thumbsup

 

[TK648]

So they were
Unable to keep up with demand and got sloppy, I guess that explains why I got this the way I did. (see link to pics below)

One of the other reasons I heard right from the sculpters own mouth in a G4Tech Tv interview.

G4 How long did it take you to sculpt the armor
NA It took three months :confused

Wow a whole three months,

I would like to hear from one of our own Talented sculptors here on the board,
How long would it take to sculpt a suit of Masterchief armor from head to toe

I beleive I got one of the last suits that they made.

Link to pics below

I can barely sculpt to save my life, but I know good sculpting when I see it, I don't see it here

My Armor Nightmare Kit

I would like to re-work the helmet and make it look more like the helmet on the figure
However I do not have the patience to do that

TK648

 

[synasp]

yikes............ if you wouldn't mind, how much did that kit set you back?

I can't believe they'd sacrifice quality like that. terrible.

It took me right at 10 months to sculpt our set thats with Steves help doing the thighs and helmet. Really you can do it pretty quickly..its just getting it right thats a lot of work.

[TK648]

interesting article. I thought Microsoft and NA were buddy-buddy.

So Halo 1 and 2 armor is different, correct? Which do people prefer?

[synasp]

So then "Art of Halo" wouldn't help with Halo 2 armor.... dang......... Does anyone have specs for the H2 suit? Reference pics?

 

[Killdnaction]

Wow TK648 I cant believe they sent you that I have seen some of their armor in person because I live right down the street from them but I cant believe it got that bad, plus the materials look different then what i seen....

What it it they used for your kit?

is it resin or vacuform? I cant tell (still learning)...

any ways sorry to hear and see they sent you such a horrible set there.
