odst armor

So after the sniper issue im gonna get started on my ODST build. Was looking at a halo 3 spartan and got to the boot file for foam and holy hell. That looks like something im gonna have to tackle as an actual pep file so back to the ODST. i should have boots and maybe shins posted tonight.

Good morning 405th, This is long overdue as I have been working diligently on my build. I will make sure I do a more formal and informative introduction in the Introduction thread, but my name is Matt and I am posting up my very first build in cosplay ever. Humongous shout out to...

So My first O.D.S.T. Builds were from the Andrew DFT templates and I never really liked the detail on them, so I decided that I would 3d print my own set of O.D.S.T. armor and So far it has been a fun project. More progress pictures will be posted as I get pieces done :) The Materials I am...

I've been building my stuff out of foam for a while then I moved to resin for the helmets. I'm trying to make the armor and the rest of everything just from photos. 1st 2nd 3rd

Hi everyone, I am new here so not sure if this is the right place to post this. I got a 3D printer a few months back and have been testing it out here and there with various prints but I think it is time to go big. I want to make a full suit of either spartan armor from Reach (Emile or Carter)...

Hey everyone, this my very first costume project post here, and a pretty hard one indeed, the main reason i came to this forum and spend a LOT of time digging everywhere. A little background : French 3D student who comes from LARP where i worked on medieval armor (leather / mail / metal), got...

Intro: Hello everyone. I figured now was about time that I stopped lurking and started posting my own build log, I'll try to organize it for fast browsing. I have wanted to build my own armor set based off my custom armor from Halo: Reach, it's been nearly a full decade since that game came out...

I've got some decent progress done on my ODST already but I figured I'd start a thread so it's documented somewhere. It's foam with the smaller torso bits 3d-printed, and probably the helmet as well. I was thinking of charcoal gray with olive green accents for the color scheme, with either OD...

Hello I’m new here and I am making my second ODST build. My first build was a couple of years ago and it was the Andrew DFT ODST templates I and it turned out fine, but I wanted more detail and game accuracy so I purchased the Hero’s Workshop foam pepakura templates and have been using those. I...

Me in my odst costume

Currently working on a halo 3 ODST suitand figured i’d Finally make a proper thread. I’ve finished construction on the chest, right shoulder, and helmet so far. Construction of the left shoulder isn’t far behind.

Hey guys, relatively new cosplayer here. I’ve been really busy lately so I apologize for my inability to really interact with the community. Thus I decided I should at the very least share what I’m working on in my silence! Full disclosure, I’m far from an expert when it comes to 3D printing...

So starting this thread is actually a little overdue as i had actually started during the holiday season BUT none the less its time to get started. I wanted to be able to get some feedback on my work and also be able to discuss how I went about my process as I am always happy to talk about...

After a few months, I have finished building my fourth ODST suit. This suit uses all Papakura templates. The helmet and shoulders are made of paper, and the rest is foam. This is my first time building foam armor off of pep. These are some of the photos of me and some of the cool people I met at...

Looking for help if anyone know a guy that’s good with fiberglass or strong material

All packed up for the Con.

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 ;)

after repairing and building

"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...
