One last thing to post tonight before I call it a night. If you haven't stopped on my profile to get a general idea of me, one of the things I listed (I think...) is that I play paintball. About 2 years ago I was looking at some YouTube videos on how people made their own custom paintball gun. No I'm not talking like a pressurized PVC pipe gun. I mean people were taking wooden stocks of bolt action rifles and making a bolt action mag-fed paintball gun. People were even creating FN P90s! So as I sat at my desk in my old apartment, I looked at the box that had my old Tippmann A5 G36C. Then, I got an idea. I bought a full sized scale of an FN P90 airsoft gun and gutted the entire inside out. Removed the electronics and dremeled down the support beams inside the plastic shell. Then taking a saw to my Tippmann A5, I cut the handle off so all I had was the receiver, the internal mechanics in the receiver, and the gas line. I put foam inside the airsoft shell to give the A5 some stable structure so it won't move around when running with the gun. Then I put the other have of the shell, did some dremeling on the side so the push pin is accessible and that the hopper would fit nicely, screwed it back together and then finished it off by going over the seems of the plastic shell with JB Weld. The overall product came out nicely and the most important part of all, IT WAS FUNCTIONAL! Unfortunately, an O-ring or something came loose during mid-game and pushed all the Co2 out of the barrel and I have yet to take this thing apart to figure out what is wrong, and if I can even fix it.

The halo armour is unreal Leppy, I'd say it would fetch quite a bit of money to the right collector/fan. Have you ever considered a career in costume design? My friends sister works on the costumes for Game of thrones which is filmed near where I live. Once you fix the RCP 120 you should look into adding a cloak feature for the secondary fire button...

Are you going to go to any cons with this stuff?

The armor and weapons were all made using EVA foam. The type of foam you find on the floor of a gym and has a jig-saw pattern on the edges. The suit costed me under $100 and the weapons probably costed me $40, I'm not so sure on the weapons considering I didn't really pay close attention to it like I did with the armor. As for going to cons, there was an RTX con happening shortly after I had finished my suit down in Australia. Not only was I unaware, I also wouldn't have been able to afford the tickets . I would really love to go to a con though! Gotta find a way to make a cloaking device man
