My Halo 4 Spartan IV Foam (Pic Heavy)

[Cr4zyDav0]

i'm not entirely sure about that, because the tint film is applied to the inside of the visor, you'd have to try it. and i was amazed when i found this technique on here, it's a very cheep and effective way to make visor's. also the visibility through the visor depends on what type of tint you use, they also come in different shades:

the window tint film i bought was a 15% shade, but it's fairly easy to see though during the day.

UPDATE: well i have bought, tested, and found the exact paint i am gonna use for my build. it is a fabric paint mixed half and half with fabric medium.

basically when the medium is mixed with the paint it becomes a flexible paint that bends with the foam, now before anyone asks why i didn't do anything like fibreglass it, or seal it with something; i don't have the money, and i don't have the access to such materials.

anyway here are some pics of the tested foam painting i did earlier:

(on the pic above the top part is the un-painted part.)
the white, black and red parts on both were painted with 2 layers, and i'm probably gonna do three on the helmet.

well that's all i have to say about that

Thanks,

Did you make your helmet out of foam from scratch?
Did you cut up you visor?
So amazing.

thanks, and i didn't make the helmet from scratch, in the second post of this thread i have links to the files i'm using.
and as far as the visor goes, i think what your asking is answered in posts above, #59 &#61.

UPDATE: okay i started painting my foam build over the past couple of days, so far i've only painted the aviator shoulder. i thought i might paint that first, seeing as i'll probably have to make it again later on because it was slightly too small.

but here are the pics:

i think that with this paint job, the only thing i really stuffed up was the emblem. i just couldn't get it right. but ayway, lemme know what you think.

Thanks,

UPDATE: i have officially finished my Halo 4 Recon helmet. just finished painting it and installed the visor.

anyway, here are the pics:

i am really happy with it, and obviously there are a few things i could have done better. but overall, i really like it and that's all that really matters to me

also i have started building the hazop shoulder, and unlike the other shoulder i made, it is gonna be the right size. lol

Thanks,

where did you get the red tint for the visor?

Foam work looks pretty good.
I'd go with DBMikes suggestions on lining up the edges to make them a little neater, because it would make prepping for paint a lot easier on you.
+1 sub here. I'd like to see where this one goes.
Keep up the good work.

i bought it off ebay for about $15, and got a 2m roll of it.
here is the thread that gave me the idea: Visor Tutorial

thanks yea, i agree, and i would do that if i could. but i'm gonna do my best for now with this build, i may have been promoted to infantryman, but my foam building skills are still at noob level.
and will do!!
