For those of you who know me, I don't tend to post on the forum a lot, or really at all. But I figured I'd actually make a build thread for once. As the title suggests, I'm making a Mark VII from Infinite, thanks to 343's generous cosplay guide, I have all of the reference images I need. I'll drop my screencaps in here for those of you who haven't seen them or need them. The helmet will be 3D printed, while the armor will be scratch built in foam with my own handmade patterns.
Currently, we're making the helmet. I taught myself to model in fusion 360 this past year, so I am 3D modeling it myself using front, side, back, and top view screencaps of the helmet. If you have a 3D printer, I HIGHLY recommend learning Fusion, intimidating at first, but surprisingly easy to learn. Being able to make your own models truly unlocks the full potential of your machine. (I know that there are already some files up for download, but I wanted to contribute one of my own, the file will be uploaded to the armory after it gets printed, but will also be posted to my etsy store if any want to support my work. Your choice, the file will also be totally free here)
Looking forward to posting my progress on the forum for a change, wish me luck.
Now for my screenshots. Here we have the front, back, side, and top view of the helmet. I'll post some shots of the model when it's done.
