So it is best to pay close attention to how the helmet is built. The rest of the armor creation process build upon the techniques used in PART 1. We will perservere and one day walk with head held up high covered from head to toe in HALO Armor goodness.Įverything we learn in Part 1 will be applied to Parts 2-5. Most who embark on armor building never get past this stage. Part 1 of the Halo 3 ODST Armor Project is the Helmet. To help unify all the instructables I also published a Table Of Contents (TOC) instructable for the Halo ODST Armor Build. The project is so large that I decided to break it down into five(5) Instructables: 1. Halo 1-3 Spartan permutations, ODST permutations, Halo Reach permutations, Iron Man permutations, samurai, etc. Although this instructable is specifically for the ODST, the instructable can be applied to any armor build - e.g. And we will end up spending money, ball park estimates on the low end around $300 for the entire suit. Along the way, we will be printing out 3D models unfolded into Pepakura files doing origami on steroids working with hazardous materials using power tools you may end up glueing your fingers together, your shoes to the floor or the cat to the couch. Build time will be from several months to over a year depending on level of detail and how determined you are.
So you really want to do this? This is a big project. It is on the pricey side and not always available locally.This is PART 1 of a 5 part series on a full ODST Armor you can wear. Too much glue can cause gaps in areas that should have a nice clean seam.Īn alternative and Foamsmith favourite is using Barge contact cement. When it comes to putting things together Hot glue can be used. Metal rulers are you friend for straight cuts. Try not to use a sawing/back and forth motion when cutting foam. Either have lots of spare blades on hand or to save money, invest in a blade sharpener. You will feel it kind of catching onto the foam and tearing. You'll know when your blade is dull when the knife doesn't glide through the foam. When cutting foam make sure to have a really sharp box cutter/exacto knife. They have some free templates of generic helmet and gauntlets that are perfect to practice with. Try going to EvilTed's or Punished Props website. Click to expand.Since being new to foam try to do practice bits to get used to the medium.
