Hey guys, so I have began to work on my halo armor suit, but I can not currently find the usb cable for my phone so I can not upload any pictures yet. Since I am not able to load any pictures I figured it would be a good time to give a quick overview of how the project will be created and why I decided to start this project.

But as you can see, most of these guns look pretty boring. So I figured the easiest way to kind of spice them up is to build some kind of shell to go around the gun it self. But what kind of shell should I use? I don't want anything that looks too much like a real gun, so I was thinking why not create my favorite gun from Halo Reach. So I decided I wanted to try to create the Needle Rifle. The Needle Rifle is a pretty massive size gun, which would allow me to hide all the internals of the nerf gun.
So after spending a few minutes searching the internet to see if anyone actually had created a Needle Rifle before (no need to recreate the wheel), I came across this website http://405th.com/. The 405th is a forum where people post designs and finished projects of not only items from Halo, but other games as well. They create most of these objects using Pepakura, which is a method of folding paper to create items. Most people have made a box like this sometime in their life-time. Well that is basically how they create this complex armor pieces and weapons. Here is an example of the pepakura file for the Halo chest piece:
