My plan is cut 2 strips of elastic, attach a clasp to each elastic, and attach an elastic strip to the gasket, and another strip inside the helmet. The elastic inside has to be shorter than the helmet overall, in order to hold the helmet up and reduce the stress put on velcro. I'm planning to...

Hey Coreforge, I'm trying to make the helmet as easy as possible to put on, mostly due to the innate limited view of a wetworks helmet. That being said though, I might use a few screws to form a base inside the gasket, to hold it in place. Here's a rough sketch of what I'm planning to do...

Hey 405! This community played a huge role in my childhood, and I loved every second of it. For someone who was unable to play Halo, making Halo armor was the next best thing. It's been almost 5 years since I've done anything here and currently, I've taken up fountain pen repairs as a...

I'm pround of my first experience with LEDs :)

Does anyone have any advice for weathering? I'm was using toothpaste and grease, and I was wondering if there's an easier way. I'm not trying to use paint markers to weather, does anyone know how to weather with those? (also insights for foam and fiberglass weathering would be nice) I'm trying...

Hey, I'm back- check out my builds I'm finishing right now right now

Update: finished right commando shoulder and forearm here it is close up a bit hard to see with my camera, but the left shoulder has a way crustier and gross look, while the gloss on the right one gives off a deeper and stronger feel to the armor

Alright, so this is what I did when I had time- I painted the helmet and shins with varnish, it took a few layers but it actually made it look really cool... (I honestly didn't expect it to look like this) it covered the fiberglass since it wasn't really that good (I didn't do rondo)Here's the...

So, life's been busy, schedule full, depression's rampant, etc. I been trying to get back to costuming, it's been a while... Hope y'all feel way better than me ✨ I'm going to remake my chest plate armor using foam now gonna put up updates and also work on my mental health

Oh man.. everything has grown, like wow. The last time I was talking here was like, last year, and you were still on your Iron man costume… This build is amazing, just amazing

Whooo...had some guests, couldn't get much done, but here it is, pardon the lightshow, but pretty sure amateur work can't get more obvious then this :D

~Railgun materials lacking thus rusulting in delay or subjsct dropped~...had too much foam around the house and deciding to work on another build...

So...after experiencing major difficulties using pepakura for cosplay, since it took me about 10+ minutes just to suit up, and the designs were pretty flawed the way I did it... So I was going to make the chest and probably some parts of the armor foam!...this is a BIG step for me, considering...

Damn...I am envious of your craft skills XD keep it up

Thats some pretty nice pepwork, clean...
