odst armor

Photo by PostConBlues So after a long absence, I've decided to return to the world of Halo costuming. A combination of meeting some local Halo cosplayers as well as Halo: Outpost Discovery reignited my interest. I debated between doing Vale or the Halo 2 ODST, but after various commitments...

Yo wonderful people of the 405th, question time. I’ve been trying to give my chest piece more of that “Hell jumper look” by making the bottom of the chest more curved. It’s completely Eva foam, so I was thinking maybe light use from a heat gun would do the trick, but I didn’t want to mess up the...

This is my first attempt at a Eva foam ODST set using Andrew DFT templates (which are now free) along with the video series, I'm going for a white and red with black decal, going medic for this one! Only issue is I used a pen to mark stuff on the foam now it keeps seeping through the paint, any...

So here it is my ODST progress, using whereisdanielles files as a starting point (because her work is simply legendary) This is an original idea (I think) for a military police ODST covered in shotgun shells and ready to party, I’m going to be base costing it in satin black the. Decide on a...

Alrighty, time to get started, research first, but also, colors! Thought I'd put down some early color ideas I have. Also currently researching pouches, so if anyone has a particular pouch set they think looks nice with ODST please feel free to share ;)

"Hello, World." Fitting for a first foray into this community eh? I find myself here because I always wanted to have a halo armor and idealized the 405th and other cosplayers for a very long time. But I never had the confidence to try it. So here I am. I plan on trying to build a full...

Hey Everyone! Im having some trouble figuring out exactly which paint to use for my ODST build. It appears as if its some kind of metal gray or gunmetal? and somtimes it appears matte and has scratches to reveal a silver fresh exposed metal. Would love to see pictures and recommendations :)...

Good Morning All, I’m in the process of 3D Printing my ODST suit (Weta Inspired). There are a few small detailed parts I’ve not be able to find so I decided to make them! First are the buckles for top of the chest armor. I plan on printing, cleaning them up and cold casting the parts.

Hey all I'm starting this thread to get some feedback on my WIP ODST set. I've already got one set made from EVA foam which I used the templates from Andrew DFT on youtube but I'm trying to make it look better and am using pepakure files this time around (still out of EVA of course). I'll be...

So I’m going to try something that has been started by many MANY cosplayers, but never really...fell through. If you don’t know what that is, then let me tell you that it’s the “H2A ODST” from the “MCC.” (Master Chief Collection) So far I did a pretty decent job on starting a template...

I'm new to using foam but I decided the best place to start would be with the ODST armor. I'm using Andrew DFT's patterns because they looked like an easy start for beginners. I didn't get pictures of the bare chest piece, but at this point I had a protective coat as well as a layer of black...

I've been working on a number of projects and heres some of them

hey guys! i have recently created my first own ODST armor using the DFT Templates. I really like the armor but is it really considered ODST due to some major differences to the original? And my next project will be attempting the Halo 3 ODST armor using the Armory resources..but here comes the...

I am building 3 ODST suits for DragonCon 2019. I am using a Monoprice i3, no mods. I use Craftware to cut and slice my prints. I will post my settings for anyone that is interested and progress pictures as often as I can! I am using reference pictures that have been dissected by gerard2567 and...

worked on this for about 5 months and am so proud of how the final product turned out! I will soon make a tutorial series on youtube on how to make this exact armor! youtube channel---AlphaWolfArmory--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K_VyavYHBo&t=300s FEET FIRST TROOPERS!!

Hello so Im new to the cosplay scene and would really like some helps and tips on how to do this as I've never so much as done anything even similar to this. I Plan to at least try to print all the solid parts on a 3d printer with a build space of X180mm x Y180 mm x Z320mm. Ive already started...

I have faced numerous set backs in the creation of my first ODST armour build, including lost jobs and being crippled twice. But I am back and trying new things. I have a general question for those with their own sets of ODST gear. How is the range of motion in your own sets? I have been...

Hey Everyone, I'm new here and my research has led me to 405th basically I'm looking for advice on what would be the easiest way to make some helmets. I want to make custom helmets for my grooms men and I want them to look relatively nice for shoots and just looking awesome. Any help would be...

It's taking me about four months to make this build! All Eva foam! I am extremely proud of how this is turning out so far, my name concern was making something completely screen accurate and having everything proportionate to me and to each other piece. I will post other pictures to where I got...

so, after playing halo 4 a bunch again my love for the series returned. i started collecting some of the models and miniatures (expensive right now :eek:). but there was another itch that i thought was long gone. my love for props and such. now the halo cosplay bug got a good hold of me...

Well I'm back again doing my third Halo build! I'm really excited about this one because I'm going to take my time and make this one as beautiful as possible. Considering with my other two builds I feel like I half assed parts of it. (Especially on the paint job, little to no weathering and not...
