How do I make ODST Sniper shoulder?

[Marcus]

Hi! How would I go about making the sniper shoulder armour for an ODST? I have downloaded the halo 3 odst files from the armory, and found the files for it.

(Im making it out of EVA foam)
So do I just cut out the main parts and try to cut out bevels in the back to fold it and glue it in the correct places?
Thanks

I just noticed but its also very small, is there a way to make it life size?

U should watch some videos by Andrew DFT where he shows how he does certain cuts folds that would help for your question. I just did some bevels on the back and added some other parts where I wanted when I did my ranged odst. It's pretty much the same as a sniper shoulder.

Do you have a template that I could trace out onto the foam?

While the Armory entry does not have a ready made foam optimized Sniper shoulder, you should be able to take the standard pepakura sniper should available, (halo-3-odst-unsc-odst-shoulder-left-sharpshooter.pdo) and use that as your foam template by removing the Tabs and ignoring any small or thin pieces that will be taken care of by the natural thickness of the foam. When are members do make the foam optimized files in the armory entries, that is the basic process. They take the normal pep files and remove those features.

I used the template from the armory and scaled it up until I thought it was a good size

you can do it in pepakura in 2D Layout > Scale > Set Scale.
