Very nice! Are they all mostly Styrofoam? your own templates or online? I myself have only done the assault rifle (I used a sliced file and EVA foam for mine) Keep these up.

Hey I would really appreciate that. I am a terrible artist but my girlfriend isn't, so I will see if we can come up with the time to figure one out. Thank you. I'll let you know.

Hi guys, awhile ago I was trying to teach myself blender in order to design my own helmet. Unfortunately, I am now a college student and time is very limited, as I am a composer here and try to excercise my creative music abilities where possible. Basically my question comes down to, is...

Halo 3 Recon isn't too difficult....remember though that there are sections of this forum that are totally loaded with helpful information. Try asking some more specific questions. There is simply too much advice to give :) Good luck, and keep it up.

Well, I was browsing ME pep files and came across the adept headgear, which is what I use in game. So, I decided to make it. I was unable to find anyone else building this file, If there is, please point me in that direction! Anyways, It had tons of tiny little tabs, especially around the eyes...

Re: Sniper ODST Project. mOWWck -> 9-7 Latest Very cool. I like the mixture of pep and foam. I haven't tried doing that with any of mine yet, but after looking at this it seems like the way to go. Foam helmets are doable, but they don't [I]quite[I] work.

This is AWESOME! I love how clean all of your work is, especially with the freehand you are doing. THAT is some good work.

I think all of the above are true and good ideas. For easy grabbing though, I think the belt is the way to go. It would be even cooler that way, you know? Functional. Also, Despite the fact that this is Halo 3 armor, A few customization pieces to make it look more say, practical (a thigh pouch...

Very nice. Something interesting about that rainbow deal. I hope it continues to go well for you, You'r foam work is nice and clean. I remember doing the chest, that thing was a HUGE hassle. Like 170 pieces right? Worth it in the end though. Mine sits on a mannequin now. I'm excited to see more...

This looks fantastic! Your foam skills demolish mine. What is the secret? Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see more.

Out of curiosity, do you plan on doing the helmet in foam? I haven't come across any foam ODST helmets, or for that matter, many foam helmets at all. But it can be done. I have done two myself (Halo 3 Recon, N7 Breather). And one that kinda was meh. (batman) It would be interesting to see that...

Alright. With my luck, I'll be back with more questions within a few days. Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick response. I have another question that just occurred to me. Do I need to hollow out the inside of the sculpt to make it a helmet? I know it seems a simple question but there it is.

Hi, I got blender last night (for like the fifth time) and spent an hour starting the sculpting for a custom helmet. To see what would happen if I exported it to Pepakura, I did so, and found out it has way to many faces. Is this because I used the sculpting option? If so, what option do I need...

1: To date I have made two suits (one complete the other a complete mess) of Mark VI, an operator helmet (from Halo: Reach), a full suit of Mark V with a Halo 3 Recon helmet, modified slightly (as seen in my profile picture), a Halo assault rifle, a Batman costume, and a full set of N7 (Mass...
