Hello there!
I have been a long time fan of halo around 15 years now and being 17 that means most of my life! I have been wanting to make a halo costume for about four years and I have attempted to make them on three separate occasions but never got far. I first attempted with foam. And my cuts were horrendous and I failed to properly print the templates causing the end product to be squished. I then attempted to create something with pep. That went well but I cut myself a bunch and ruined a few clothes with glue. It also required far steadier hands than I really had. Lasly I attempted to use sintra or pvc foam I think it’s called. It went really well but the thin prices proved to be hard to properly attach together. I took a yea break and started thinking what went well and what didn’t. I went back to the drawing board and re printed out the templates I used so long ago. Finding out I had it all horribly scaled I wanted to try foam again. So I ordered some foam from tntcosplay and got it a few days later. And things went really well! And I decided to keep going. The armor might be a bit out of proportion cause I’m six five and a little overweight. But the helmet fits great! Just need to paint it a bit more and fix some flimsy bits and I’d be happy to bring it to a con. Probably add a visor too.
