Excellent job on this! If I had a little disposable income at the moment, I'd love to take a copy off your hands! If I may ask, how did you do the visors?

Most things are possible in this hobby, and it's certainly not our place to tell you what you can and cannot do. However, coming from a veteran prop builder, I can say that you're likely in for way more work and headaches modifying an existing helmet of this nature into an ODST helmet than if...

Thanks everyone! I'm glad this is going over so well. I'm surprised variants like this aren't more common! Finished my Legacy Effects ODSTs back in 2010. I should be telling you that. haha This is just reusing old molds.

Since this project is just something to keep me busy in between drying/curing stages of other projects, progress has been slow. Since the last update, I got the helmet weathered, and a hardhat liner has been installed. I've also installed the wire mesh on all the vents, but that's not shown...

Think about how you're going to be making your cuts and how much you want to invest in it for maintenance. A band saw is intended to be used to make more generalized cuts than a scroll saw. They make narrower-than-usual blades for bandsaws for trickier cuts, but those blades are gonna cost you a...

So I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a while about an arctic-drop ODST. It has to happen at some point, right? Regardless of active camo technology and all the highfalutin special scanner tech that would completely nullify the need for camo, there's still always a need for...

I did a big facepalm when I first saw these a few weeks ago. They already have Lego Minecraft sets. They're called Legos! D'oh!

Primer is often used to get just get a good look at the piece. Often times you'll bondo, sand, fill, sand, fill, bondo, sand, and fill to the point that you can't get a good overall look at your progress because you're distracted by all the pink and red colors. So you prime it so you can see it...

That's the color of it.

That's the color of it.

This is precisely the inspiration behind the design!

So here's an update. I haven't actually worked on this in a few days, and my progress will remain here for the most part during the next few weeks. An emergency project popped up that needs to be completed by the end of October for a photo shoot in early November. What you see here is the...

The outer dimensions of the top portion of the gun are smaller than the M6. But if your curious, the hole I drilled in the barrel end is 5/8" in diameter because it looks like "a good size" at the moment. Since the focus of the project is the gun and not the bullets, caliber never entered into...

I created the blueprints myself. I took a picture of a google search of "tiny pistol" into Adobe Photoshop, and then took a side view of the Reach pistol and started hacking and resizing the components to the proportions of that image from my "tiny pistol" google search. I played around with the...
