Foam Halo Infinite Chief Foam Build

[RedRends]

some pictures and a video
to be honest, the scaling on everything other than the bicep looks great to me, but the side profile of the entire suit so far in the mirror pics looks terrible. I don't know if it's because I'm not as physically "deep" as actually chief, but I hope the undersuit, bicep rebuild, and thigh pieces will fix this in time.
also I bought one of those sick visors from Branfuhr so I'll install that some time early October probably

my pelvis piece is so snugly fit that I can't get it on except for from the top, but that makes it physically impossible to take off without help. Does anyone have a solution that's more seamless than if I put a buckle somewhere in it?

I would try to implement a side seam with magnets on 1 side of the pelvis. Maybe a couple snaps on the inside if you're worried about it coming loose?

do you have a particular brand or type of magnet you'd recommend

Depends on your placement, how much stregth is needed, and if it's being used for alignment or securing. This video might help get you started -

thighs done except for details

 

[RedRends]

Got one shoe mostly done. I'm leaving most details until afterwards for a later pass just so I can get to a minimum viable product asap. It's a little bit small, it fits well but it's not big enough to add extra height with wood or something unfortunately. unless adding stuff under the bottom would look okay and not stilt like but I doubt it.

Ah, Finally! Another all foam person!

You've made some amazing progress so far, helmet is looking awesome! You mentioned you wanna be as detailed as possible, any tips for getting the level of detail you've achieved with foam?

Thanks! yeah we're rare apparently lol. for details, I wouldn't say I have many tips other than just get them done because they make way more difference than makes any sense, but im sure you already know that

Makes sense, I think for my next build I should avoid rushing through it again lol.

Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see it done!

Sweet man what's the size of that visor and the cost? I've been thinking about how I'm going to do the visor on my infinite masterchief build.

I'm not sure what the exact measurements are or anything, but it's just slightly too big for my helmet, which I built coincidentally to be nearly exactly the same scale as the Halo 3 Collectors edition helmet. Basically I made it as small as I could with it still wearable (though some pieces on the back and under the chin aren't attached because then I can't get it on). This visor was 105$, 80$ something before shipping, not cheap by any means but it looks amazing and can be cleaned with water if needed. He sells a Infinite Large and Small visor, this is the large

Thanks man, I'll look into that and see if I can afford it, other wise I'll have to do a diy method.

if you're okay with trading the lines and curve detail for flat, printed hexagons, the IconProps visor is much much cheaper and will still look nice, if noticably less accurate.
