Master chief halo armor.

Step 44 Biggest step

4 Biggest step
Get 2-3 buckets of aqua resin.
Apply one coat on the inside of the armor and give it at least an hour to dry.
Repeat with the outside.

You can carve out detail with a rotary tool they cost $15 at big art supply stores.

Now is the time to paint your armor. USE SPRAY PAINT The best color combination is
1. Primer
2.One coat of silver.
3.One coat of desired color. (Black works best)

Since your armor isnt very strong break up the fiberglass into small pieces. The pieces should not be any bigger than a.................. cracker or half the size of your cellphone screen (unless you have an iPhone, then go with 1/3)
Glue in the pieces of fiberglass ONLY ON THE INSIDE , REALLY .......... YOU WILL MESS IT UP TRYING TO PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE.
After gluing in the fiberglass, put more glue on top and put in the foam (not Styrofoam) it should all ready be cut to size.
NOT ALL of the inside should be covered just in the center.
KEEP foam at least 1-2in away from the edge of your armor if you don't it will stick out and look ugly.
The foam should be about 1in thick.
