They're Random, Baby!

Alan James | Master Chief Suit

In mid-January 2005, we received a couple of photos from Alan James, documenting his work on a home-built Master Chief suit. They got lost in the shuffle surrounding MacWorld... and resurfaced in mid-February, when Alan sent us another batch of pics. We'll add to this page as he sends us content. This is what Alan had to say with his first submission:

"When I started this suit I didn't know that any others existed. After telling my friends about it they showed me nightmarearmor and showed me the Chris Bryant suit so I am either the 3rd or 4th guy to make one. Anyways here it is. The helmet is done being perfected and will now go into a mold and me remade in fiberglass."

The helmet is blocked out, and marked for color.

The beginnings of the gun...
"I have made the barrel of the is gun out of pvc and the handle out of wood. I glued them together with bumper glue and it very solid. Its not finished yet, i need to add a pump action handle to it and then add some details but i think its good enough to show off right now."

The body begins.
"I really messed up on this piece. This is my second attempt at it and this time it is at least the right size. The first was way to small. I am only making one of these pieces, unlike the helmet (friends want copies). I am going to cover this in fiberglass and then sand it down to make it the right shape. I haven't said this yet but this is my first time making anything this big and complex so I'm still learning as I go. The arm holes will be cut out later."

Legs and Hands
"It's been a long time since i sent in pics but with school and vacation i havnt had time to work on this and it was kinda shoved into the back corner for my room. I've now started working on it again and i hope i can get it done by the end of the year, being that school will start back up and my attention will have to shift again."
