First progress of 2023, after an eventful day of dealing with a snowstorm and traveling I returned to rediscovered my much needed tools for foamsmithing. Manage to secure my cutting tools and the basic method of joining parts together with hot glue. Only thing left is going to be finding the...

Not much progress was made this past 2022 besides life getting interesting but I've now made it a goal to make any sort of wearable Halo costume by the end of 2023. Gonna try setting some realistic goals to achieve small but meaningful progress that way if life does get messy as it always does...

Alright one week left to go with schooling and then I should be free for the summer to work on this armor. :) Going to be working on getting a wearable and decent looking marine armor made by the end of August. This is when the next local convention for my state will be and I'm going to try and...

So once I'm finished with my semester of schooling next week. I'm going to start on just trying to make some attempts at a DFT marine, but one thing I'm curious about besides the armor itself is how the armor is actually worn or attached to ones person. I'll have to do some digging to see what...

Managed to find my way back to this amazing community and can not wait to get back into getting some form of Halo costume put together. Switching gears from the ODST and going to attempt a basic Marine as a building block towards the ODST armor that I want to eventually build. This way I have...

I wish I could go. Sadly have Military Training over that time frame :cry:

HUZZAH!!!!! I have managed to build once again another helmet but this time I was able to not do as bad when it came to cutting the foam. I still need to work on my beveling ability but for Helmet mk3 made a long time after the others, I'm happy with being able to remember the knowledge shared...

Very fascinated at this build. Good job on the progress. Watching with curious interest.

I hereby revive this dear old topic. For I have hopefully found the overall motivation to relight the burning fire that is costuming. My goal this week is to try and adjust my room to once again accommodate for the ability to foamsmith. I'm thankful for all the 405th members that have assisted...

Let's gooooooo another minnesotan. Welcome aboard Garrett.

Alright second attempt went smoother thanks to advice from so many other 405th members, I still need to work on the back because it's still a bit rough but overall it went way better. For anyone that isn't on the 405th discord you should be, there is so many people that have helped me on there...

Thanks for the advice, I am using this time to learn the material but I only have so much things on hand. I will check my local hardware store for the proper blades but as of right now just using hotglue because it's very basic which is what I'm going for.

Well happy to say I finally found time to start working with the material. Not going to lie it's very different to sintra lol. I will be trying to invest with the proper tools for the job because I do need cleaner cuts compared to what I have now. Still overall I'm happy with the ugly...

Alright finally got paid and was able to get my cutting mat. I will try to start sometime this week maybe when I have down time but have been redoing the roof of my house. It's been slow because my family has zero roofing experience and the one guy that has 40 years of experience isn't able to...

Well I guess this great friend we have has caused my school to switch to online training till the 4th of May per orders of the governor. So now I have way more time to do things. I just rearranged my room to accommodate the ability for foamsmithing. Once I get a cutting mat so I don't mess up...
