New Guy Here Working On An O.d.s.t. Rookie Helm

[omega111]

Hey guys I'm a new guy here but i have lurked these forums for quite some time now enough to find a good set of O.S.D.T. armor to build. Its not as hard as i thought but I'm not to precise wen it comes to folding or cutting because i don't have an X-acto Knife, but here are some pics of my helmet progress so far.

ya i only have the bottom half finished right now the rest is still in the process of being cut.

Nice pepping. Looks Good. Keep It up, Plan on finishing the whole armor?

Welcome to the active 405th, haha.



Looking great so far! I haven't pepped an ODST, so it doesn't look like it's warping any thus far to me. But I'm sure those that've spent the hours can give you better critique than I.



And it's looking pretty precise to me, your folds look clean and your tabs are pretty well lined up.

Keep it going!

maybe still debating because i'm really just doing the O.D.S.T. armor to keep me sane through out the school year, but if i have enough paper glue and money(most important) I will, just need to size a lot of the pieces. I will most likely do it all the main thing is whether or not ill completely finish it all up to paint.

Thank you =D I'm not the only one i know doing a helmet two of my friends are doing helmets; one a smooth Recon helmet and the other the HD Mark V helm. They don't have accounts on here though.

That looks great for working sans xacto, very clean. What are you using instead of the xacto?

Be careful, prop making is addictive lol. So far the build is looking good. Keep up the good work. Oh, and getting an xacto knife will def. help, so pick one up whenever you can. I also found it way faster than using scissors.

Lookin good dude, keep it up. I'm at the exact same stage with my first master chief helm too!! I bet ya can't wait to finish peping so ya can put it on, lol

Looks good to me so far! Which unfold are you using? And no Xacto? Impressive... most impressive. Good luck with the vents on the side there, I see you haven't put them in yet. Looking forward to seeing more!

 

[omega111]

thanks everyone

I finished putting in the vents yesterday and now I'm going to start on the rest of the helmet.

I'm going to work on it the rest of the weekend and see how far i get.

Very cleanly done! Nice work.

 

[seanyguy]

Looks great to me so far!
