Hi all,
Well i recently bought one of Sean Bradley's ODST helmets. I decided to paint it up like my character in Halo Reach. I am an experience painter when it comes to sculpture, models and I have even done freelance professional 2d texture work for the games industry but this is my costume project. Anyway here are the results. The pictures really aren't too good and i will try and get some better ones to replace them with. I still have some work left to do including:
1) Somehow getting a silver vizor
2) putting mesh into the vents on the helmet (the 4 angular vents on the front side part of the helmet).
3) misc paint touch ups.
4) padding on the inside
5) I may add some of the modular attachments available in reach.
Grabbed a willing model for a quick snap shot.
A big thank you to Sean for making this and providing the excellent instructions. I ended up just painting everything by hand other than the base "steel" purely because that is how i am used to work. Tried the toothpaste and sanding method for creating wear and I just couldn't get used to it.
