Hey people of the web! After lurking about on here for almost a year, I am finally starting my first armor build. As the title says, I'm making an ODST suit out of foam and I just got back from Home Depot with a pack of foam. Also, I could use a little help in the dimensions department since I really dont have all of them. I do have the chest and shoulders which I'm gonna do first and hopefully have and update on that soon.

If by dimensions you mean the measurements, you can reference regular ODST pep files for them. Scale them to you first and then use them as measurement references if you are doing a semi-scratch build. There are lots of the ODST files in the threads. Some of them have probably been converted to foam templates at some point.
Hey there,
So, it sounds like your on the right track, but i will awnser some of your questions:
1. to get a block of foam for carving (i assume you mean the green ones right?) usually michalles craft store will carry them in a wide varity of sizes. Or anywhere else that does fake flowers (as that is what they are meant for)
2. to upload pictures, use photobucket or flickr, then with photo bucket click the "share" button, and grab the IMG code. if you did it right the link that you grab should have these tages at the begining and the end "
" copy and paste it to here, and you should be good!
