I can't find a helmet that would be even remotely plausible with foam! I was hoping for either Hazop or security (if i'm lucky), but so far nothing works. I don't even want to try regular cardstock pepping (the last time i tried i had to shoot the monstrocity to put it out of its mysery) Does anyone either have sufficient pepping skills or foam helmet files to help me? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

I did Hugh Holder's ODST helmet out of 3mm Silly Winks foam from Hobby Lobby. It's a small addon to get to the Reach version. I can link you to that one if you're interested(you can see my thread for pictures of it). I also have found that IroniumCostuming's JFO is extremely foam friendly. I'm not sure if I can post the unfold of that one though.

The only other one I can find by him is the EOD helmet from Reach. It does look pretty easy to do in foam as well.
fat-hi555's Reach Security helmet can be converted to foam pretty easily as well. A lot of it just has to do with how well the helmet is modeled for detail vs. ease of assembly. Some are just modeled super accurate which makes them not so great for foam just because of all the bumps and stuff that aren't as important or can be added after it's built.
Oh, if you can find "Mark V (Reach mark V (B) textured.pdo", this one looks realy nice for a foam build. I can't repost it though because I'm nearly certain it's a game rip. I don't know where I got it from either.
I gotta say the dremel idea was a godsend! BIG Thanks again to missingspartan7 for the idea. Anyway, onto the next piece: the security shoulder.
This one was a little harder, i had to tweek a pep model for foam, but i think it turned out pretty good:
SUPER MEGA UPDATE TIEM!
Sorry for being gone for so long! And yes, i know how much you all missed me I've been in a frantic rush to finish my suit for halloween and haven't had a chance to update the thread, so i have a metric fuckton of pictures to upload.
Let's start with the handplates:
Next up is the right shoulder piece:
Whoops, looks like i didn't get a finished picture of the right shoulder. I'll get that later. Anyway, on to the boots:
