Help me make a friend’s dream come true

Hello funders!

I'm a prop maker and a student which did not go so well together economically ... Therefore, I am here to ask for help to fulfill my best friend's dream. He is a huge Halo fan and has always talked about tarrace Master Chief's armor in real life.

As a prop maker will I make this dream real for him and therefore need your help to make this happen since I have not the money to finish this.

I've gotten started on this project as you can see in the picture below, but here it stops up due to lack of finances.

You are probably thinking thatthis is alot of money and you're right, that's it, it's not cheap to make. there are a lot of resources that must be included in this suit to finish set it.

I hope you can save some money to help me get a friend's dream to be real. All of the remaining money will go to a worthy charity. (most likely the children's ward at the local hospital)

Some additional information:

I have personally made 3D model of the suit so it is ready to be printed out. Yes, you read correctly this suit will be 3d printed. This will ensure that the suit is extremely detailed and getting proper proportions.

I have released these files for free on this forum:

This is so that anyone with a 3D printer could print one yourself.
