Foam A silly little ODST Build

[Spartan1365]

Hello all. Time for a yearly check in and promises to make armor that never comes through-

I'm posting today to start a thread about starting an ODST costume.

I've got the Halo 3 ODST files from the armory but I was wondering if anyone had the halo reach/infinite marine files (the ones in the armory are less than stellar)

Even 3d print files would be gracious.

I'm going to be starting work on a Halo 3 ODST to start then working on the Reach one.

I want to do a hybrid of foam, fabric and 3D print. My local cons start around August then it's on to Brisbane in September so the grind is beginning early.

Any and all help in finding files would be fantastic

Heya, best of luck with your build! Perhaps see you around at cons, I can tell you're in Australia, and as long as it's not Perth or NT there's a chance I'll see ya lol.

I've put some threads of my personal favourite H3 ODST builds below, maybe there's some stuff in there that'll be helpful.

Foam - ODST: Version 1 was okay. Now for Version 2

Okay ladies and gents. I am finally starting my first suit of armour in the Halo universe. As the title says, my suit of choice is the ODST made with EVA foam. I will eventually start posting pics of my progress. I have nothing as of yet because I am still in the process of scaling and cutting...

1st Build - [PIC HEAVY] First Cosplay - ODST - [ongoing]

Hey there! There's a lot of "firsts" in this build as I've never 3D printed, used an airbrush, sewn, or pretty much anything else that would be related to cosplay before. ODST's always stood out to me because of their Behind-Enemy-Lines missions, and the fact that they're in the same fights...

Second ODST Build - 3D Printed

All the way back in 2017 I had completed my first ODST armor out of EVA foam. Unfortunately, due to the weak hot glue holding it all together, many moves with bad transportation, and subpar storage, the armor eventually fell into a state I was not happy with and I trashed it. About one month...

And a current Halo Reach ODST build, maybe you can reach out to the creator for further questions.

Foam - Halo Reach ODST

Figure I make a Halo Reach ODST, just love that style you know, so figure why not just make it, been collecting most of the files and would like the end result to look like this: Of course still getting everything together for it but figure I go ahead and get the thread going, also majority...

Sorry I can't help out with your request for files specifically, I can only point to Galactic Armory and Titlewave Designs on Etsy for some great 3D print files.

Best of luck again brotha.

Day 1 is concluding with very little work!
Printing out the templates for the H3 ODST torso armor and purchasing the new part for my Bambu as the filament sensor was clogged and the gear was stripped

When it's back online I'll tackle the hips and belt and templating for the shoulder clothing areas!
