Halo: Reach ODST

[devuljuice]

Starting work on a Reach ODST. I have a loose plan for the build and going for basics. Simple paint scheme, few attachments, and an Amazon-bought undersuit. This is subject to change as I progress. I am also considering making an MA40 to go along with the build. College has me fairly busy and lacking funds, so I'll try to make this as cost-effective as possible, while also only being able to work on this in bursts during breaks.

If you want any of the files I'll be using for this build I'll link them right here:
ODST/Marine Base from TitlewaveDesigns
ODST Chest Attchment from TitlewaveDesigns
Reach ODST Helmet from MantisPropShop
ODST Helmet Accessories from GalacticArmory
Halo Spartan Accessories from GalacticArmory

If anyone has done this build before or has some good advice for me, let me know! Always interested into learning more.

Here's a screenshot from Armorsmith, and a picture of two Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus printers churning out the helmet.

While I doubt there's anyone that's done the exact mix-n-match of parts you're doing, many of us have done our own mixing of various sources and the printer doesn't know the difference.

SgtSaint's FAQ post

So I tend to post this response to the common or Frequently asked questions when people ask on the various social media channels. I copy/paste it to Facebook, or the Discord server and some folks urged me to post it here and just link it in the future. Ok, here goes. These are my tips and how...

<spoiler> I commonly recommend starting with a less unforgiving build as your first armor, then work up to one's like this with tighter and tighter tolerances after you've leveled up your scaling skills.</spoiler>

Advice:
• As always I suggest starting at the feet and working up, hands working in, chest and helmet last after you've leveled up your skillsets from scaling to printing to finishing. As you've built full suits before that maybe be less of an issue than someone attempting their first armor.

If any of my build threads help:
Spartan:
• Build 2 - MK-VI gen-3. With some silver timeline influence
• MK-VI Silver team season 2 [2024 build]

ODST:

SgtSaint ODST build (AU regiment)

Planning So I decided to go ahead and build an ODST cosplay. In hind sight I know now I should have done it before my Spartan - just because the loose tolerances, visible straps, military surplus pouches and 21st century military inspired look make it a better choice before the more exacting...

Wow that's going to look so cool when it's done! Do you have a color scheme you're wanting to do?
