Hey everyone! I'm very new to all this armor and costume designing but I've been wanting to do it for years after I saw what other members had done at events in the past. Now I got a good job and my own place so I decided its time for me to start! It seems like most newcomers start out here by introducing themselves and show what their first build is that they are working on so I'll get right to that.
I'm starting off with an ODST Helmet build, and just a note this is my first time every doing anything related to a project like this so I'm still learning. I always liked the ODST helmets and figured I would do it first to test myself. So far the helmet is a bit larger than it should be for me to wear it even after accounting for the extra space to put additions inside the helmet. I'm still proud of me getting this far with it already so I want to end up finishing it and just keeping it as a looks-only piece to put up somewhere.
I have the basics down on the pepakura portion of these costumes so any tips for when I finish up here would be awesome!
