Awesome! Just to give myself and anyone else a hand will you post measurements and scaling for each part as you make them successfully. It would be nice.
Post some photos when you get a chance. I will have an ODST knife coming since I just finished. No scaling on the knife either just printed that bad boy out. 43.1 cm with 9.705328 as the scale. Default. I post all the details later. LATER

Cool thanks. I am almost done with the legs. I am getting some materials for detailing today, so I am quite happy. Can't wait for Dragon Con to show off my armor! Oh and Sholder scale is: 15 CM. Legs scale:36 Cm. hope that helps you guys out.
Stay cool- kerotan 36

Awesome! Glad to hear things are progressing along. I should have asked how tall you are in relation to the scaling your using. Yeah, would help to get some perspective. Just post it later if you can.
ODST HALO 2 KNIFE.
I had to use 2 pages to print this. I used a small piece of paper which I scored and put into the folding point on each piece then glued the 2 halves together on that small piece or paper so things will be even and flush. The Knife is 17 inchs long, 41.3 cm, which I think is long enough.
Next step is to resin this piece then fill it with foam stuff. I'll be sure to make another so I can send it to those who need it to make copies. FUN FUN FUN!

Yeah that's becaue Bungie wanted to introduce the ODST since it wasnt in halo 1.ODST-RAGE said:
The good example of this is the map where they jump with the jump pods and master chief comes out and there's an ODST greeting him.
But i dont really think that anyone has actually been introduced to halo 3 that much except the brutes...
I mean the 1st 2 games where a little bit more like, 'for players who have never played halo before' with halo 3 bungie has made the game so that it's designed more to the people who have played halo earlier... leaving the new fans confused.

I am going to resin my sholders today because I got some fiberglass cloth and Bondo (for later of course). I will bondo when the sholders dry. Right leg done! I am now starting on the crotch piece.

Yeah I would have posted pictures but at my Mum's we only have 56K so I will post some at my Dad's. I just finished cutting out the crotch, and might I add that these are very nice models very nice and simple.
Progress!!!
I didn't think it would fit me, but it works out pretty good. Perfect size I think. I can even wear it with my glasses. Check it!!
Questions:
1) Do I add that Pepakura piece that takes the place of the visor? Is that important for the resin process?
2) Should I brace the inside of the helm with cardboard for the resining process?
3) What should I use for a visor in the ODST?
Hope to help out Rob with some armor and head on to the next piece. kerotan 36 I hope to see some pics and do what I can to help you.FUN FUN FUN!

Awesome job on everything so far, fightstar. Looks very very nice... glad to see everything's workin so far. The knife came out cool, I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to put that in there but I figured some might prefer putting that together over a scratch-built one...
Helmet looks good, glad the sizing was right
Was pretty much a guess based on the last one I made, to adjust for my glasses as well.As for your helm questions:
1) I'd recommend putting the paper visor in, just don't resin it. It'll hold the rest of the helmet in its proper shape, especially that funky bit that's indented under the bill/ brim. It should also hold the jaw in line.
2) I didn't add any special support on the inside when I worked on mine and it came out pretty well, I think the large blocky shapes of the H2 odst hold their shape pretty well without extra struts or anything.
3) I really don't know if a regular moto visor will even work in this helmet, I know there's a good amount of flex in those visors but the shape of the open area is very irregular and squared off... There's more of a bend at the bottom of it than at the top, forming a sort of point...
For mine, I used a sheet of thin plastic, actually this exact one:
GBC Presentation Binding Cover
and silver auto window tint. Applied the tint to the full sheet of plastic first, as it was laying flat. Then I traced the outline of the visor space onto a sheet of blank 8.5 x 11" paper, and then transferred that outline to the plastic (extending the outline by several mm's to ensure fit), cut it out, and hot glued it in place.
The link in my sig has pictures of my finished ODST helm... the tint is still holding up, too, little to no wrinkling or air bubbles.
Whew that was quite a wall of text... hopefully that helped, let me know if you've got any other questions, I'm happy to help.
Keep us posted on the progress, too, I really don't think anyone has finished a full H2 odst suit using pep, and I only recall ever seeing 1 completed suit at all. Excited to see another done...

Per you E-mail from today.
Looks like a ODST bucket (HELMIT)
How do you plan to do the 1/2 round indents over the ears?
I used a silver M-sheld in my ABS helmet BUT I like the tent one (Lighter easer to shape cheeper too)
I see a lot of neck is that right? I did not look at any one in mine so I do not know...
I give it two thumbs up.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate everyones input. I'm just glad I finished a helmet that actually fits me.
After reading everyones input the next step to do the following:
1) Make a template of the visor section.
2) Glue in the visor section
3) get some resin and fiber glass.
4) after glassing start adding some cardboard for some raised detail. Like the user 'Long Shot' as done, http://405th.com/forums/index.php?automodu...si&img=1760
5) Take photos along the way.
I need to add some details to the knife so I am collection some shots of that. Also I need to look into how to mount that visor inside the helmet. The suggestion from Ruze789 with the plastic sounds like that will work. Also my thoughts will have to head towards the chest armor and what do about that. So much to thing about. 150 days to go until Dragon Con. I will have to take a break from this to finish my Spartan '300' helmet and to finish the lower torso this week if I can. I will post more and take photos as I get things done. Remember anything worth doing is worth doing it right!

Yeah it is a pretty good idea, but I think I will use Just plain ol' Bondo. I just bought some.
