Quinton's Gundam x Halo Cosplay (Mjolnir Mark VII / Panzerdoll Firefox)

[QuintonFlynn]

Hi all,

First post here!

In this post I plan on detailing and sharing my progress from start to finish and sharing as many files as I can during the process.

Step 1: Edited colours of someone else's cosplay to see if I liked the idea of a Gundam x Halo build.
**PHOTOSHOPPED COLOUR TEST ONLY**

**PHOTOSHOPPED COLOUR TEST ONLY**

Step 2: Joined The Halo Archive Discord server and grabbed the H2A multiplayer asset pack. Opened the .build file in Blender and isolated the Panzerdoll Firefox helmet (this can be done with any Halo 2 Anniversary armour). Exported as STL. I've attached it here. Note that this STL isn't hollowed out.

Currently here -> Step 3: Opened the helmet in Solidworks and am currently doing extruded cuts to make space for my head and for fans to fit in. Possibly a battery pack, too. When I'm done I will share STLs.

Step 4: Add a dummy model from Thingiverse and import the armours to get a better idea of the scaling.

Step 5: Cut helmet apart and send it off to the scientists down in the 3D printing lab.

Best,
Quinton

I am a huge fan of Gundam so I am definitely looking forward to the outcome of this build! The Photoshop coloring looks amazing, I would probably suggest maybe looking at some smaller details you could add to the sectioning of the white with some very light gray as it will make it pop a lot more.

I mainly say that with the PG Unleashed RX78-2 in mind with all the different shades of details.
