First build. Halo 3 marine

[Clover arc]

Building a halo 3 marine armor out of EVA foam. Creating this armour for the upcoming convention, Tampa bay comic con.
The Keith David. The voice actor of the arbitar will be there. That'll be epic.

The pieces aren't finished yet. Following a guide off the internet. Andrew DFT. So far so good. Next will be sanding and paint. What the best way to get that marine green color? Let me know when you can. Thanks

FYI:
I just saw that Galactic Armory has released a full Halo 3 marine armor for printing.
I don't work for GA, or get any kickback or anything like that. Just saying this would be some of their newest stuff which if its anything like their latest spartan MK-VI, is a really nice fileset.
I know you're doing foam right now. Just an FYI in case you decide to upgrade a part here and a part there over time.

The helmet they have might look like it fits your head but it has a little groove that your ears get stuck in when taking it off, even before you put in padding.
Something to take note of if you want to go with it!

Have you considered a motorcycle/ski balaclava? Really saves my ears with my Spartan helmet. Should help with the Marine one as well.

Thanks for the tip!
My only concern with that is I can fit my big head in the helmet, but my wife who has a much smaller head also has the issue of the ears, so I might suggest carving out a space for it because it is underneath the helmet!
Or just editing the model would work too!

Print it 3% wider?
