![]() ![]() With a cutting knife, bit by bit the Sangheili's toes started to take shape. Once the base layer was applied, the bulking stage began.Īfter a heap of foam and glue, I had a large enough structure to start carving into. To get the 2nd foot the same size, I traced out the base of the 1st foot.īefore I could start bulking out the overall shape, I need to make a base layer to cover the shoes.īy wearing the stilts, I could glue down the first bits to match the form of my feet. The biggest challenge during this stage was to get the feet somewhat symmetrical. Hey all, its been a few days since my last update, got a bit to share.īit by bit I have been using upholstery foam to shape the Stilts into their Sangheili Feet counterparts. One of these days, these stilts are gonna, end up being complete! These Stilts were made for walking, now they look like feet. Lower Metal Braces | Elastic Strip Test | Completed Stilts Pre-foam Left to Right - Bolted Shoes | Shoes Attached to Cut Stilts | Front Bolt Removal | In theory, they will act as an extra leg muscle to reduce some burden on the legs while in 'sangheili walk' style. These will connect the metal bars to the leg strap, and in theory will rotate when I change 'walk styles.'Īt the back of the heel, a metal ring brace was installed to be used for my elastic strip bands. To resolve this, I removed the front bolt, and replaced it with a strap attached on top.Īfter the front corners of the stilts were cut back, metal braces were installed on either side of the ankle/heel. To get my shoes attached, a strong glue resin and bolts were used.Ģ holes were surgically cut out of the shoe base for the bolts to sit under the inner sole.ĭue to the design of the stilts, the only place I could place these bolts was in the middle line of the shoes.Īfter some testing I found the front bolt was too painful to wear for even short periods of time. Not sure if it will work just yet, fingers crossed, but I did find some really good elastic strips from Bunnings for 'muscle' support. I do however plan to use a leg strap instead of a plastic knee support for more comfort. The concept uses metal bars on the sides and elastic/springs at the back of the leg. I haven't got any cons planned as of yet but when the build is complete, I'll 100% be attending some!Īs for the stilt support, I've been following Chaos Costumes concept. Definitely motivates me to keep working on it! Past Builds - Halo Reach Fiberglass Build | Halo 4 Spartan Foam Build | Agent Locke Foam Build | Khajiiti Werewolf Transformation BuildĬlick to expand.Thanks It feels great to post here again on the forums after so long. What it taught me, was sometimes one can be a little too ambitious. My fourth attempt (first non-halo build) pushed me to attempt something new and ambitious. My third attempt allowed me to use what I had learnt so far, to try to make a pre-launch build. My second attempt didn't start too well either, but after some friendly advice and research, I think overall the foam build turned out alright. My first attempt at a Pepakura Reach build went horribly wrong, but overall it was a great learning experience. wow I'm old), that originally inspired me to build costumes. It was actually these forums all the way back in 2011 (10 years. I have learnt most of my build techniques from talented people here on the 405th. From the very first time I played Halo 2 in a church, I've been a fan of the Halo Universe.Īlthough some games have been rocky, the Halo costume community has always been great! ![]()
