Step 1Research

Always the most important step. After all there are multiple variants and generations of Master chief with varying degrees of detail. You want to choose a version that you can have access to lots of photos so you can have good references because you will need them.

You can find them all over Google or my personal favorite was the 405th.com they have pix of just about every conceivable angle.

Does anybody know how to tint the visor without using a motorcycle visor? I was planning on using vacuum formed clear plastic and need to tint the visor and keep visibility

You could use a gold spray paint on the inside of the visor(so that the color looks more smooth and iridescent), but that means you cant really see out, I don't know what you would do for the silver bit.

I cant believe you did it that well with low detail parts! How did you do it? Lots of bondo?

One question:

Do you think that I could make a suit if I worked my @$$ off in time for Halloween.

Yes, but it will be a lot of work.

This is where I got my template. If it wont let you view the page make an account (its free) and search.

"Dual Layer Visor Mini-Tutorial"

then just print and enlarge till it fits. Good Luck!
