Halo Reach Jorge Build

[RC1701]

That backpack is amazing (it also demonstrates I might need a scroll saw myself). You mentioned interlocking it with the suit...does that mean you intend for it to stick by means of friction or supplemented with magnets and/or velcro?

I'm also contemplating making one of the rear panels into a hatch so that I can store the battery packs for the lights/cooling fans on the suit.

I guess that depends on whether you intend on marching in your outfit or staying inside a (relatively) cool convention hall. I personally would go ahead and make a compartment for some minor storage at least that way you have the option. Also functionality is always a plus on props.

thanks to Tyr, i went out and bought a used saw. it works great for the 1/2 stuff.

@ Tyr, what glue are you using for your 1/16" orange foam? im starting on the detailing part and need something good and easy to use.

Great build so far!

if you´re willing to use a nerf gun , go for the vulcan YouTube - ‪Modded Nerf Vulcan Ammo Capacity‬‏ its pretty much the same weapon , you´ll just need to adapt a shell that resembles the one used in halo reach

Can't wait to see it all come together! Great work!

Looking great! Glad to see someone else working on a Jorge suit.

Nice pep work! The folds and everything came out very clean and also you worked with very good files from what it looks like! I have seen many people start a "Jorge" project but never fully pull through with it till the end. I must say though that this one needs to be finished. I would have to say this is by far the best one I have seen yet!

 

[KastKreations]

Loving the progress! I wish I was taller and could pull off such a sick costume. Your 3D work is as awesome as your build.

Oh wow this is awesome.

Also are the google sketchup files anywhere?

Oh wow this is awesome.

Also are the google sketchup files anywhere?

I haven't released any files but the Knee(not unfolded).
The knee can be found here in the 3D section:
Soaring Hammer • A Community for Prop Builders
Registration is open until the 1st of next month.

I'm busy with home renovations for another month and then I'll get to work finishing and releasing the models.

 

[Spade]

Nice man. Keep up the awesome work bud.

If it's helpful, Sean Shaw just made a nice Jorge gun for Wondercon. He has some excellent pics of the build at his FB page that should help. Nice guy too if you want to compare notes.
