Another beautimous Halo model for y’all.
No render, I don’t have Photoworks installed at the moment.
This one ended up with 260 features and a 40-second rebuild time.

Yes, further on this detour. First is the hand carving, mostly with a hacksaw blade, and spruing.
Then it’s packed in sand and molten aluminum is poured in.
This one turned out a bit rough, I need to add an investment coating and tune the sand.
Here’s a short flyaround of it: m6g_proto.mov
Another Halo 3 weapon.
Sniper Rifle, fruit of ~2 days’ labor. Enjoy.

Well, I need to see if a passive external skeleton will work before I start casting aluminum. I’m not sure how I should mock this up, but the joints look like a good place to start.
Of the 14 main joints, 5 are straight hinges. Two have loose hinges or floating axes of articulation. Two utilize ball races or interlocking flanges to put the wearer through the joint, in conjunction with sliding hinges. Two are freely rotational with loads of axial play. The two hip joints are either ball joints or universal joints, and the torso rests more or less loosely atop the pelvic armor.
Ok, ok.. is this really possible? Will a standard human unit actually fit in there?
Looks like it. That’s my silhouette, and the silhouettes of the major armor pieces.
I’ve been working on this model bit by bit, and here’s the progress so far. Hopefully, this will be produced as a casting soon. Also, I have a hot-wire foam cutter working, to cut foam blanks for casting. It just needs a jig to be useful.
edit: I’ve also added the C-14 Impaler references to a page here.
Awhile back Blizzard released some new wallpapers for Starcraft 2. The ‘Nuke’ wallpaper has a couple great reference examples of the C-14 Impaler gauss rifle carried by Confederate, and presumably all, marines. I had something definitive to work from.
Here’s an unpolished view of my CAD model. Hopefully this is castable in aluminum.
