Real-Life Halo Armor Creators Quizzed

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday January 14, 2004 @12:04AM from the shiny-faux-bulletproof-baubles dept.

Thanks to Bungie.net for their interview with the creators of a painstakingly-crafted real-life reproduction of Master Chief's Mjolnir armor, as originally seen in Bungie's noted FPS Halo. The interview comes with exclusive pictures, and the official Nightmare Armor site also has pictures from their previous armor reproduction project, the Deepeyes armor from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The armor creators discuss the "good amount of time and devotion [it takes] to complete an entire armor costume", but the guys at Bungie conclude the article with a bang: "After seeing the kind of passion and dedication that the guys at Nightmare Armor had put into the Halo armor project, we were too embarrassed to tell them that in Halo 2, Master Chief's costume will be made of dyed mink fur."

I don't know if they have the whole thing done yet, but what they have so far looks like it took an insane amount of time.

They have a page saying that there will be real-life videos in the future- I hope they can keep up the quality, and move a step or two beyond Power Rangers.

How is it that they find time to do this stuff, and it seems like all I can do is come home, and make dinner? Oh yeah...I play video games..

Team Fortress had grenade keys years ago.
