Angus314 recon gang!Hey everyone, I'm completely new to making armor and was hoping to get some tips on how to get started. I want to make this recon armor from halo reach but in black and yellow and was hoping someone could show me how to get started.
Hello. Welcome to the gang/group and first step to halo armor building. What you will need first, since your doing foam, is the material to cut the foam(box cutter/ exacto knife), something to glue the pieces of foam(contact cement(barge, dap) hot glue gun, and alot of room to do this. Most importantly u need the templates from here to print out(and pepakura) for your reach build. If u need any help, we are here to assist you fellow crafter/cosplayer. Will look forward to your recon build ^_^Hey everyone, I'm completely new to making armor and was hoping to get some tips on how to get started.

I'm really struggling to find any halo reach recon pepakuras I can't find the helmet shoulders or chest pieceHello! Reach recon is best recon imo. Welcome to the forums! We have wonderful tutorials on how to get started over in the Tutorials section of the megathreads and so much more all around! Since you're looking to get into foam, Spiderboy has given you a great once over on the basics needed and if you have any more questions about specifics just ask and we'll be happy to point you in the right direction! I look forward to your recon build and can't wait to see what else you make!
Have you tried looking in "The Armory?" If you had looked into the Tutorial Section that Angus recommended you would have seen that The Armory section of the site is where all of our pepakura files and templates are housed.I'm really struggling to find any halo reach recon pepakuras I can't find the helmet shoulders or chest piece

Thank you everyone for the help I really appreciate it yall are awesome!Have you tried looking in "The Armory?" If you had looked into the Tutorial Section that Angus recommended you would have seen that The Armory section of the site is where all of our pepakura files and templates are housed.
For example, here is the Armory Entry for Halo Reach's Recon Armor permutation. It includes the helmet and shoulders in both standard Pep and a version that has been optimized for Foam.
Halo: Reach - MJOLNIR Mark V - Recon
This is a comprehensive zip file including numerous files from multiple artists. Contents of zip-file: halo-reach-mjolnir-mkv-recon-helmet.pdo Modeler: rundown Unfolder: drcrter halo-reach-mjolnir-mkv-recon-helmet-foam.pdo Modeler: Unknown...www.405th.com
As for the Chest, unlike in Halo 3, there is no real dedicated Recon Armor permutation for the chest. Like in much of Reach, many of the Chest permutations are just different allocations of accessories attached to the standard base base chest armor. In the case of the "Tactical/Recon" Chest it is the placement of the additional pouches.

You can check the "Accessories" entry for making items, but, as the pouches are not "hard armor" items, there might not be files for them, and they may have to replicated free hand.

does anyone know how to scale and fold with pepakura i really have no clue on how to do any of thisHey everyone, I'm completely new to making armor and was hoping to get some tips on how to get started.

The 3D model should show you how it all fits together, as well as providing a scale on how big it is. I would measure your own body for the piece you wish to create and then scale the file up or down accordinglydoes anyone know how to scale and fold with pepakura i really have no clue on how to do any of this
That works pretty well, but I would instead use Original Super Glue. It is much stronger, and bonds a dries much quicker.Tossing my two cents in, I would use loctite liquid glue for connecting all the armor pieces and going over the seams on the back with hot glue to reinforce it
