Well, I live in the United States so I just got them at Harbor Freight.

I will be posting something pretty special eventually. I have been working all day on my helmet and time lapse recording it at 1 second intervals. I am currently up to 10.5 hours of work which is about 5 minutes of video right now. I am not going to stop until I finish it. I need a decent helmet, my tester is not good enough. Though I am currently taking a break to read forums and get some food, I have not eaten at all today and Diet Coke is not sustaining me any longer.

I have to ask, which pepfile did you use for your foam armor?

 

[Zat German]

Not using a pep for the armor. Most of the armor is TD2553's templates. I have already linked to them.

26 hours of work over the yesterday and today:

This is Hugh's helmet but I have modified the 3D files to make it a lot more foam friendly.

A few holes to fill in where the geometry just did not work but some of them I am leaving open for ventilation for the laser tag game I will be playing in this. Visor also needs to be redone. Now I know I need to cut the tint side, not the opposite. The edges of the tint look terrible. Thankfully most of them are hidden in the helmet.

This looks incredible

 

[Zat German]

Sorry about the lack of updates. Went into "Get stuff done" mode so I would have something to wear last night. I think it turned out pretty good. Needs more parts and some paint and details but I will be working on that next. Everyone at Laser Tag liked it last night and people at work are getting a kick out of it.

My painted AR is currently in pieces on the floor at home, so I had to use my unmodified green one for the pictures at work today.

did you use a pep file for the helmet and what pep file did you use

I used Hugh's ODST helmet that I modified to make out of foam easier, as stated in the post with the up close pictures of the new helmet.

that has to be the best reach odst armor i had ever seen

 

[Jimh69]

I can't imagine 3mm foam would hold up for long by itself. How do you strengthen the foam? Did you seal and paint it?

 

[OTSDerpy]

Impressive, using 3mm foam and pepakura file templates. This has to be the first ODST helmet that I've seen made out of foam.

Hey mate, this is a really old thread and thus your reply is a Necropost. I've seen you do this a few times now so please PLEASE look at the dates before replying
