I like to use the airsoft helmet pads off Amazon and set them up as seen below. I like using hot glue instead of the velcro strips that come with the pads, as i have found they dont like to stick to the helemt. Also having a good check pad really hold the helmet in place too, but it's all personal preference.
Welcome to the 405th! ODST's are a fun starting place.
That’s a really good idea. I wasn’t even thinking about bump helmet pads. Thank you for that!
Thank you for the encouraging words! Did you use a tactical helmet chinstrap or a sport helmet style?
I wouldn’t make it super snug if it’s a raw print. You need to take into consideration padding the helmet and if you’re wanting to install electronics such as a voice amplifier or internal fans.
I used a helmet strap intended for a MICH helmet.
That almost sounds like it may need to be looser. If you have the visor made does your face have clearance from it? Also are you using a backplate so you can get your head in and out?
I didn't make a backpack. I will however be making the Reach leg pouch and I'll be putting my emergency repair kit in it.
Hey that’s a good idea. That’s what I might put in this backpack if I decide to make it functional one. If not, the leg pouch would definitely be a cool alternative.
I'm using a leg pouch in the off chance I don't have a handler I can still access it. With how ODST shoulders sit on me I could never access a backpack let alone get one on.
Might just have to modify a pack for the spartan 3s. Haven't seen to many jet packs but it would be sweet to see.
The jetpack from Halo reach is technically compatible with the Reach "Bullfrogs" but that's a different armor pattern. I'm sure you could find a way to attach it though!
