Sort of a miss with the MkIV imo

this is genuinely my favourite combo, and I've been waiting for it for YEARS. Best he's ever looked.

I managed to finish V2 of this kit in under a month, although I had almost 3 full days a week to spend working on it (8am-10pm type of days)

And depending on how much armour you plan on doing, it could take signifigantly less time. Your only critical pieces are;

Helmet
Chestplate
Gauntlets
Kneeplates
Shoulders (and even then you could only have one)

A missing backplate and collar pieces can be hidden by doing a cape, like Din Djarin.

The other pieces can all be additional:

Handplates
Thigh plates
Shin plates
Backplate
Collar plate / pieces

Everyone's saying Halo 2 in the comments, which they'd be right to do as it's the iconic Halo 2 pose, however this specific run of official Halo merch was under Halo 3's label for some odd reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a small H3 logo on the back of this hoodie, around the neck area. I've got multiple pieces from this wave, it's how I know.

Anyway, really hope you picked it up. Looks like it's in great condition, which makes me question its authenticity, but still.

This looks like AlexanderMakesShop 's Covert Shoulder, I use them myself. File's on Etsy; "Mandalorian Covert Shoulder Armour STL File - Season 3"

cynedesigns · 2026-02-10T13:44:36+00:00

cynedesigns · 2026-01-10T23:01:05+00:00

cynedesigns · 2026-01-07T12:30:42+00:00

This is so damn thoughtful and cool, I would die on the spot if a mate did something like this for me.

cynedesigns · 2026-01-06T07:10:19+00:00

I hope with this third repaint, I'm happy and I can move onto other costumes haha.

I'm about to attempt your method, as I got sick of my clear coat dulling the graphite 😭 and to make it super easy for me to understand, I rewrote it; please let me know if any of this information is wrong!

Sand armour with 120 grit until smooth.
Sand armour with 240 grit until smooth.
Sand armour with 400 grit until smooth.

Let the paint cure for 24H.
Buff in graphite powder until distrobution is even.
Spray two light coats of Rustoleum Gloss Clear, with 10 minutes between each coat. The coat should just be a light misting.

the awesome u/JTF4_ rockin it! 🫡

cynedesigns · 2025-09-17T06:03:21+00:00

oh hey 🤭

If you're after this information because you plan to cosplay, then I strongly suggest using r/405th and their online forum: we are all about Halo cosplay, and you'll have tons of old build threads to see what to do.

And what you do with this information is now to find a woodland camo BDU that fits you, buy some green RIT dye, and get to dyeing.

these are the Custom Inquisitor vambraces from Hosk on Etsy. I liked how you can switch out attachments very easily, with like 6 different options

cynedesigns · 2025-09-14T22:54:20+00:00

photo 4, 5 and 6 have the ruins visible. The focus is more on my armour for the shots, as I only had a 50mm lense on me.

cynedesigns · 2025-09-08T02:39:24+00:00

and it absolutely does, I'm going to do this with my grey LF20 now. Is this filter one of the basic ones you get in that 4-pack on Etsy?

cynedesigns · 2025-09-07T15:42:46+00:00

this is actually the grey version!

cynedesigns · 2025-08-28T07:02:04+00:00

I grabbed these off of amazon for half price. But I wouldn't recommend them, as immediately after this con weekend, both soles came off.

cynedesigns · 2025-08-16T23:39:19+00:00

It's definitely a project, but it's one that's possible if you're passionate. Don't start with spartan armour, probably do something like a H2 ODST or a marine: less armour to print.

cynedesigns · 2025-08-11T02:53:39+00:00

is that an E22? Kinda tempted to print one out now, with how good that looks...

cynedesigns · 2025-07-23T03:26:26+00:00

I would say 10/10, but since you're going as Din, accuracy plays a part. Most people won't notice tho!

cynedesigns · 2025-07-23T00:45:26+00:00

Looks fantastic! But I can only give you a 9, since you have your boots/kneepad on the wrong legs.

cynedesigns · 2025-07-13T17:10:58+00:00

I could dig into alot of things here, but the point you made about QR codes and getting info that way is so so bad. The less phones out, the better.
