ODST Blood Type Shoulder Badges HERE

[TurboCharizard]

If you check out the Bungie concept art of helmets from Reach, a bunch of the SPARTAN-III buckets have a small, rectangular medical reference tallyplate. A few have it at the base of the neck, others have it as a sticker/decal on the side of the head.

the in game ODSTs have that medref on the back of the helmet as well, in addition to on the right shoulder.

Interestingly, both the helmet and shoulder tag are the same rectangular decal, they don't use one cut to fit the shoulder like the Halo 3 ODST design. Possible a resource saving measure so they only needed a single texture for both.

Would it be blasphemy if I stuck this on some spartan armor for the Anubis armor I'm working on? I keep thinking about it and wondering why all UNSC armored personal don't use these except for the ODSTs. It's incredibly useful to have it at a glance and have a barcode to scan to find out any other medical information the individual needs at the time.

Only the ODSTs have this sticker shape to match the ODST shoulder. Other armors have the standard rectangle shape. Reach marines have it on their shoulders. Jorge has it on his chest.

Any chance you got a pic or something? This sounds like a pretty interesting idea to add on to my armour

Reach Army Troopers and Marines have it on the lower portion of the right shoulder armor, (except for female Troopers/Marines which do not have the BloodType on their shoulders, just a black bar on both shoulders):

I just use the ODST sticker that other people have uploaded, put them in MS Paint and select a rectangle around the text like in these photos.

Found Jorge's Medref on my Jorge figurine, didn't know that the Army troopers had them too until now

How do you get it to stick on? Do you print it as a sticker which you paste onto the armour?

Tutorial: Weapon and Amor Waterslide Decals (no high tech equiptment needed!)

I never knew this was even possible! Create professional looking decals at home with your own color printer! It takes some time to set up, but the application is super simple. So let’s get you started! Materials you need: An electronic image of what you want, pre sized and in a printable...

If you go with waterslide decals, you can also get decal setter and decal softener, both of which help decals rest better across complex or rounded surfaces.

On hard surfaces, I've had good luck with using Color Printer, Label Paper, and Laminate Sheets.

I never even realized that ODSTs had these on their armor, thanks for these!!!

 

[Keeper0311]

That's really cool that you thought that out, I want to tackle an ODST build at some point, but can anybody tell me why they have that on the armor?

Basically all the relevant info you’d find on a dog tag.

We wear similar stuff nowadays in flight patches, and kill cards stuffed in our pockets. And to be honest I had my blood type and “NKA” written pretty large on my helmet, inside of my boots and have the same info tattooed under my right armpit.

Thanks man! While my model skills are good, my photo editing skills are sub par!

 

[Hikuro]

very cool I'm gonna have to use one for my suit.

Is there any way to get the A+ one without the watermark from photobucket?

Update:

To get rid of the watermark simply make a free photobucket account, sign in, and click on the link again.

What's the best way to make it fit to my shoulder? and do i just print it out using regular A4 paper? or do i need to use something special?
