Best tutorial out there for a needler! I'm going to upgrade it a bit, depending upon what supplies I can get my hands on, to having glowing needles. Hoping to find some neon colored acrylic square rods. I think if I put an LED light in a hole drilled on the end that should light them up nicely... This needler will set of the grunt costume I'm making for my son.

Even cooler, a fellow girl Halo fan made this tut! I'm not a great foot soldier, but my husband and I do hold #1 as a Hog team in ranked... I want to hit #1 Wheelman in Reach also and am looking for some good team mates. Look me up on XBL if you are interested... OH SHEEP DIP

*whispers to nomooremr.niceguy* And there are OLDER girl video game players out there too. ;)

Thanks for the great tutorial Erika!

Awesome instructables. I'll admit I fall into stereo types. So I was surprised to see that it was a girl into Halo. Don't take it the wrong way. It's pretty cool, and it's not unheard of. But it is far less common in most circles. Sorry. I just had to say that it was awesome. Have a good day.

Thanks =)
its nice to hear some nice comments about girls playing halo and other "big tough manly games" rather than those who seem to think that girls don't even know what video games are (sounds weird i know, but i have met more than one person who think that)
I'm glad you like the instructibles, mabey i'll spot you a halo game on x-box live sometime. lol :)

That would be cool. One problem. I don't own an X-box :(. But maybe a grueling game of chess? And there really isn't anything tough, or manly about sitting in front of a screen pressing buttons. But it sure is fun! Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry. I just noticed you changed your age. But don't look now. I'm right behind you. (Actually, only Chuck Norris can do that, but I can pretend.) We'll see what I can do about getting that game with you. I think I can convince a friend to let me bum their x-box live. But that has yet to be seen. (Just to let you know, when I play video games, I scream like a little girl. J/K. But When I get shot I do freak out and my guy runs in circles and starts jumping a lot shooting wildly. I know, I'm a noob. I'll forgive myself later. This should be an interesting game for you.) I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Hahaha! yes it would be a very interesting game! My birthday was lots of fun thank you very much!
Never a bad time for a Chuck Norris joke eh. LoL

So now you're Canadian? Eh? (Texans are better. J/K) Though I must admit Canada is very pretty. I got to see Niagara Falls once. It was so cool. What was the best part of your birthday? You're welcome. Chuck Norris owns a private estate in the atlantic known as the bermuda triangle. He tolerates no trespassers. How is that one?
