Excellent work, truly fantastic stuff! When I have some time, I'm definitely going to be watching through your build logs to pick up tips. I'm not privy to a laser cutter, but I know I'll be doing my ODST build with foam. Any tips on what you find best for unfolding a Pep for foam? And I'd...

I've found some great success using the scalpel blades, and find contact cement to be the best. If you're careful and precise, you can make a seam that completely disappears.

I second using the scalpel and #11 blades. I got a set of 100 online for less than $15. I used to use a utility knife until I bought the scalpel set on a whim. It hurts me a little bit to say I'm not sure where my utility knife is anymore.

Looks awesome! Just a heads up. If you have someone on your friends list, you can spectate their games. Pause it and use the free cam to zoom around and get all the details you need. There's no way to save the film in the beta, but you can use the DVR to record a pan of the armor and take...

I'm also loving the new Magnum. If you need to get some screenshots from the beta, I found a good trick. Spectate the game of someone on your friends list, and just wait for them to toss their magnum away. You can pause it and use the free view camera to get all the reference shots you need. I...

Phew. It's been a long while since I've been on here, but once I got my hands on Titanfall, I just knew I'd have to work on a Pilot Armor. Thank you Jico, and everyone else who has been helping out. Once things calm down a bit in life and I get the projects I'm working on now wrapped up, I'm...

I was going to do this actually, I'm glad someone else wasn't lazy like me. I've been trying to finish my Reach Helmet, and I'd just fire up the game and go into a theater clip for my reference. Before the Beta Closes, I should have all of the armor pieces purchased, so I'll be sure to snag...

Well, you have several options. The first, and easiest one, is to poke holes in it, and fill areas with greatstuff expanding foam after you resin and harden the outside. I don't really recommend this, as it doesn't really reinforce it, it just fills it with stuff. Plus, the greatstuff, if...

Not to burst a bubble here... but with modifying Nerf guns being one of the first hobbies I got into... The Recon is a terrible gun. After shooting it for so long, I'd be surprised if the dart would even make it out of the barrel. Looks awesome though.

Like you said, they've been the same pistol all a long, just different variants. I haven't really had time to work on much, thanks to school and a new job, but when I saw this I knew I had to set some time aside to work on it. I've just finished the grip and the mag. It's a bit big for my...

Considering Reach is before Halo 1, Noble 6 isn't going to be the Rookie, as the Rookie is the Rookie because he's a new ODST at the time frame between Halo 2 and 3. Also, Noble 6 is a Spartan III, and is going to die on Reach. Reach gets glassed from Orbit, as is even said in the opening scene...

Holy crap. I love Outlaw Star. Absolutely love it. I named my dog after it. No lie. I will also be looking forward to this unfold. :D

One of the Rules here is that you don't post topics unless you have the pictures. You're better off just building your base model and posting pictures before even starting a new topic, even if you're 'looking for ideas.'

Could you possibly post a link to the Vest you mentioned in the first post?I'm trying to search, and I've found the Leg Systems, but I haven't found the Vest like that one, and I haven't found one in black. That one just matches ODST gear more than any vest I've seen so far.I understand this was...

Yes, actually, it is NerfHaven. :D I feel like I sort of graduated from Modifying Nerf Guns to making my own props now. Haha. And, the Recon is probably one of the simplest guns to open and put back together, you just need to take out all the screws and make sure the slide lines up when...
