I do have some skill in Blender, so I might try it. The pep files in the armory are a little too complex for me; I'm looking for something a little simpler. Would foam templates work on paper?

Does anyone know where I can find low poly Halo 4 Master Chife pep files? Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I might pass the zoom call though!

I made a custom suit of armor out of 16 guage steel sheets, but I am having some issues. The back and chestplate are separate pieces, that attach over the shoulders and under the arms. I bought some clasps from amazon, but they can't handle the stress. Any ideas on how to connect the pieces?

And if sizing is a common problem, you could get Armorsmith. It is great for those kinds of problems. It costs a little money, but I think it is worth it. Armorsmith | The Cosplay Design Tool | The Armored Garage

Hot glue. Yes, you will get burned, but out of all the things I have used, been I found hot glue to be the best solution. It dries relatively fast, but gives you just long enough to position it correctly before it dries. When I use Elmer's or super glue, it was very hard to get each piece in the...

I'll be sure to try that out

That works great, thanks! How exactly did you do that? If you don't mind sharing your secret...

Good for Pepakura. When the computer unfolds it, it is a mess of faces and paper, very hard to glue together. But I did some researching, and I saw that in other models, that each section that you want to be a separate piece of paper is only attached to the neighboring section by only a vert or...

Okay thank you! I don't have a 3D printer, so that is what I needed.

The helmet is above. It's kind of like a Mandalorian/Galaxy's Edge/Halo design.

Okay, thank you! I downloaded and changed the original model to make the helmet.

I made some custom 3D models in Blender, but when I load them into Armorsmith, they get unfolded into a huge mess. Is there a way for me to pick and choose which faces are an individual piece of paper? I triangulated the mesh, but it didn't help much. Is the some sort of prepping that needs to...

So this suit is our first one. Our plan is to make three suits, and this one is, well, not perfect. This suit has two fans in the mouth part, 1W LEDS, and a Walkie Talkie system with a headset. All of these have buttons on the back side of the helmet to activate them. The fans and lights are...
