Arbiter Costume – Part Three [ Mask 75%, short building-of clip, latex test ]

by Faceless on August 22, 2010

Progress from Feb. 3-ish to Feb. 9th EDIT: Check bottom of the video info for links. Sorry I talk a lot. I had to cut it down a bit since Youtube decided to hit me with a million reasons why I couldn’t have this video up. I’d say the mask is about three-fourths done. As I say in the vid, I’m going to hot-glue it together where it needs to, sew fabric over any parts that need a smoother skin, and then do the whole thing over in a few layers of latex to give it a skin-like feel. Here’s a still picture of the mask: tinyurl.com These next few weeks will be hard for me to update with anything, as I have quite a bit of work to do for my New Media projects. But I promise to work on this stuff in my spare time and hopefully have something to show. I have successfully completed all of the armor pieces, now it’s on to reinforcing them. Comments/Suggestions/Questions are greatly appreciated. EDIT: A lot of people have been commenting/messaging me asking about where I got all the pep-file pieces. All of them can be conveniently located here: halocostuming.wikia.com While the helmet can be downloaded from here: www.4shared.com Have fun!

nice job! did u finish the armor yet?

Drakku March 10, 2009 at 6:10 am

The armor is now reverted to about halfway done, in the sense that half of it is printed out and glued together.. haha. I have yet to resin/fiberglass it, let alone get close to detailing it. I had a newly acquainted modeler make new armor for my arms and for the jaws, and I recently remodeled the neck armor to fit my own wants. I’ll hopefully make these files available if the public likes them. I hope to make some headway on the armor during spring break, so check back around then. :)

cool! i noticed u were wearing a halo 3 hoodie/sweater thing were do you get them and how much? (ps im english so dont give me the name of an american shop ive never heard of, but internet shops are fine!) ur Cool arbiter stuff is coming along great!

Drakku May 13, 2009 at 5:03 am

They were being sold waaay back when Halo 3 was first announced, at a store we have called Hot Topic. They recently started reselling them, I think, but I’ve had that hoodie for ages. You can prolly check their online store, but I’m not sure about shipping overseas and the like, or whether they even still have it in stock. They do sometimes have some different Halo related items, like messenger bags, beanies, etc. Good luck.

i have a sugestion for moving the mouth have wire goin into your mouth from the opaside side of the arbiter mouth

thedragonrider10 June 24, 2009 at 10:13 pm

Hi! I LOVE your progress and ideas and stuff to make the arbiter. I’ve always loved him, but i had a question:…for the arbiter mask link, it’s a .pdo file. Do you know what software or program is used to open it? I’d love the help. Good Luck with the Arby! And I’m brainstorming some ideas for the mouth, but none are coming to mind…I’ll check back in if I figure anything out. Thanks!

Drakku December 23, 2009 at 1:55 am

Actually, that’s why the project is on a standstill. Not enough time! But I’m starting to get at it again. :]

Drakku December 23, 2009 at 1:56 am

Send me a PM if you still need help as to what exactly you need help with. I’ll try to give some advice.

CelticPredator1001 July 9, 2010 at 2:43 am

I think the helmet sopose to be big so when you put your head in the mask it will fit better
