Foam Halo Infinite Mjolnir MK VII Armor WIP

[GrievousProps]

Hello Everyone! This is one of my first few posts and I just wanted to put a couple of the projects I am currently working on out there! This is a MK VII helmet from the multiplayer of halo infinite (and now MCC) made out of foam using templates created by other amazing creators and 3D modelers that brought super accurate halo infinite foam templates to the masses! It is currently unpainted and unsealed but I hope to update this thread as I make more progress!

From what I can tell the top of the helmet sits slightly off-kilter which I hope to fix with a heat gun in the future.

This photo was before the air vents were made yet.

Wow - I still get blown away at the awesome things people are able to make out of foam. That is one amazing bucket!

Could you link me the files you used to create this? I want to make my own but I'm never sure if I find the right thing. Awesome job, cant wait to see more. Cheers

Hello! I’m pretty new when it comes to using these forums so I apologize if this link doesn’t work, the “Attach Files” wouldn’t allow me to put in the original but here is the URL to the one I used. https://www.405th.com/forums/attachments/halo-infinite-mk-7-helmet-foam-unfold-pdo.301988/ let me know if this works, if it doesn’t I will try to find another way to put it in. Hope this helps!

Also just wondering what thicknesses of foam you used for the build. Just so I have an idea on what to use

I used almost entirely 6mm foam with 10mm for structure but I made my helmet very small so you might want to maybe use 8mm because 6mm can be quite flimsy

Honestly I’m not sure yet, I think I’ll wait to decide if there is an armor coating I really like then make than one. And if not I might paint it blue to be a reminder of the hilarious tech preview multiplayer bots!

Quedo genial bro. me gustaria saber que grosores de espuma utilizaste y cuales me recomiendas para intentar hacerlo.

Wow that looks incredible. I can't wait to see the rest of the armor built.

how are you gonna paint it? ie. spray paint, airbrush, acrylic

Sorry for the late reply! Definitely mostly just spray paint with acrylic weathering cause I haven’t practiced my airbrushing quite enough to attempt a full paint scheme.

Since my last helmet post which was a long while ago I have been able to make some small progress on other parts of my Mk7 armor. I have so far made both shin pieces, one boot, and a bicep/piece. I have been battling some foam supply issues so progress is slow but progress is progress!

 

[GrievousProps]

As I made more progress on the rest of my armor , I noticed that a couple of the foam templates for some armor pieces are just a little inaccurate or missing some details for foam construction such as the chest plate, cod piece, and forearms. The modelers did an incredible job given the reference they had but I was wondering if anyone could help me out in finding some more accurate foam templates? Thanks!

I know I definitely missed a detail (or maybe two) on the forearm I did for the foam pattern, at least compared to the cosplay guide. The 3D model has that fixed but you'd have to unfold it again.

Oh cool thanks for letting me know! Unfortunately I’m no expert with unfolding but I will see what I can do.

On Amazon, you can get a 20 pack of foam for 15$-20$. It's nice and sturdy too.

Build is looking great. I just started building the infinite set myself so I'm cruising around the forum looking for ideas to steal hehehe
