Hey people! lol, i'm building foam armor based on Spacemeats tutorial videos, i've added a bunch of new armor pieces and whatnot. Take a look!
I started with the feet, they turned out a bit messy looking compared to the rest.
Then i moved to the shins, which turned out much nicer, also i took these pictures before i filled the seams with drywall filler, so some gaps might be apparent.
Basically i want from the bottom of the armor, up. I came into an issue with the thighs where the thin foam on the inner part was to high up, but i've since cut it down and it looks better
With the codpiece, i made the front part detachable, two magnets on each side hold it onto the back, so it's easier to remove.
Hole punchers are very handy! lol, i already sanded the ends down a bit, ill be sure to post pictures of the finished armor on this topic when i'm done
I plan to add magnets on where the shoulder armor attaches, so i can interchange them whenever i want.
These turned out really nice, to attach the armor, i'm gonna add velcro in the inside, then on my undersuit, then the undersuit is washable, and it works out well
At first, i made the visor opening to narrow.
But i got it fixed, much better
The chest took so long, but i finally got it done
Before this, i never realized how much detail the back armor has! there's tons of tiny things! lol
Once i was finished the base armor, i started the attachments, i converted these files from regular pepakura to work with foam, if anyone know how i can go about sharing the files let me know!
I left an opening on the tactical UGPS for a phone or something, but it's to narrow for a phone, lol. but im thinking of using some clear plastic and decal paper to make the screen, then adding LEDs behind it to make it glow.
If anyone wants the picture for the UGPS, here it is
Here's the multi threat chest plate, i think it turned out really nice, i tried making one the the grenades for the grenade belt, using half a styrofoam ball, it didn't really work out, its so hard getting things perfectly rounded, but it turned into a good coaster!
This was a tough one, the tactical trauma kit, mainly built out of craft foam, i wanted it to be a pouch i could put stuff in! and i succeeded!
I included all this on the templates, there's not much room inside, i wanted to fit a hot glue gun inside so i could literally "Heal" myself and other spartans, but it doesn't fit : (
There are small magnets connecting the top and bottom
It just snaps shut! it's pretty nifty!
Here's my old plasma pistol from my first armor build, it looks pretty good, i used a heater to burn in he circle pattern, and getting the color was crazy! i took i think 4 drops of purple paint, 2 drops of metallic blue paint, and 1 drop of silver paint, ya DROPS! idk why i decided to be so precise but the color turned out super nice!, i plan to make a new plasma pistol this time.
Thanks for viewing! ill post updates on this thread, i would post my old armor, but D : it wasn't the prettiest! lol this is my second build!
HUGE thanks to Spacemeat, without his tutorials i would be lost! lol
I'm also looking for a few pepakura files,
Mk5b Helmet attachments, HUL and UA
Halo Reach Spartan Laser
Halo 3, or Reach Plasma Rifle
and a Halo Reach Plasma Pistol
If anyone has these files i would be super happy! lol
