Where Spartans Are Made

I have come to realize that any time Adam Grumbo appears in my inbox, it is a great day. For the past several months he has been collaborating with Spase to create a phenomenal set of Halo 3 Marine Armor. While they don’t consider it 100% completed (they plan on adding detailing, strapping, and ammo pouches among other things), it was finished enough for a photo shoot in downtown Austin. Adam is sporting his Master Chief armor while Spase is making a special appearance as a Marine. They are so lucky I don’t live in that area, otherwise they would have had a rabid fangirl on their hands. Now if you’ll please excuse me, I need a cigarette just from looking at these pictures.

  7. This begs the question…

    WHY is there not a Halo Movie yet?!?!?!?

    I would watch it multiple time… and buy the DVD… and recommend it to friends…

    It would make SO MUCH money.

    Hell, I’ll direct it… anyone want to fund me? =D

    Took me forever to figure out why it was holding your recent comments in moderation but I finally realized it was because you left out the “s” in your name so it didn’t recognize you. LOL! All fixed now though. :)

  14. Funny, I think I recognize that alley. I could have told you what street that was from the buildings in the background, but after having been away from the city for 8 years now I can’t recall.

    Sporting the ‘Sarge’ look at the end there, huh?

    What do you think Johnson prefered anyway, Cubans? You’d hope we had dropped the embargo by 2552.
