Is anybody working on some HD helmets for the entire squad(save for Dare)? I will be working on them either way. Between work and my portfolio, I don't think I will have much time to work on them so if I could get some help, that would be a load off and make the process much faster.
After I get half my ODST suit done,I will make a MKIV,ROOKIE and CQB helm,then clay them up and mold and cast them.I will then be buying 3 other casts from members(Dutch from benstreeper,Recon from GiR3892,MKVI from GiR3892),and getting all 6 and making them into some monument thing-a-majig,well like a stand,has the back drop,and placeholders for each helm.Hanging it in my room.
Anyways,just for the love of it,buying a frikin' Dremel 300 kit or 400 kit today.YATTA,HOORAY,EPIC WIN.LOLLZZ.

I'm always up for a challenge, but I'd rather not work on add-ons until I've got a lot of my own armor done. Thing is, it's senior year, second quarter, so there's a lot of important things that I'm gonna be busy with for the next number of weeks. However, once college applications and thesis are all turned in, I'll will have a ton more free time to actually make a lot of armor progress (something I haven't made in quite a while)
In fact, I'm pretty sure my parents won't run out and get me fiberglass resin until all those things are finished. No resin, no motivation to finish pep stuff. Normally, getting those things done wouldn't take all quarter, but, at my school, time to work ahead is a commodity. I know it sucks, but hey, what can 'ya do? They won't even let me do an armor project (aka - finish my Rookie helmet) as an advanced art project this quarter because they think I'll be too busy. Honestly, think about that: 1-2 hours max for resin, 2 hours for bondo, 1/2 hour for painting, etc. That's if I rush. They didn't buy it. It really bothers me that my parents make me take Advanced Art, but when I actually have to do art, they say I'll be too busy. Wow, thanks, way to scew me over.
Well, enough of me venting. I really wish I could find the motivation to finish more pep pieces (new chest plate, belt plate, crotch plate, sniper goggles and torso. I have one or two friends who want to help, but they have been equally busy. Oh well, that's what you get when you're taking like 4 AP classes.)

OH MY GOD, THE DETAIL, THE DETAIL
ODST Nade
in case anyone wants to try this outrageous model, there it is... im going to unfold it and give it a test build, i would post the unfold, but still no pep key. i think i added to much detail, mainly on the tiny little lip, and the thin grove towards the bottom.
and here is a .3ds file for Harding, just in-case he wants to unfold it
...click on the happy face, he is the link.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... ummm about that... i got a little subdivide happy when i was modeling it, and i thought " Hey the wire frame is fine"....hahahaha
if anyone knows how to remove said edges in blender let me know, but until then i am going to kick this things butt :angry
im still working on unfolding it so i can print it, there is like4 tabs for each edge, with 24 edges thats 96 tabs on each piece.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Rookie and Mickey also have these, so it's relatively standard ODST gear. I'm working on an unfold...
DM, you have made the most difficult to unfold model I have ever seen. Unfold incoming as soon as I figure out how the heck to do this without terrible long strips.
Edit: Gasp! Pant! Wheeze! Unfold is finished! It was either make half of it stupid tiny strips, or make every piece a pain to cut out. I chose the latter, as I LOATHE tiny strips. Actually went in and removed a lot of the unpossible tabs, which cleaned up the edge IDs considerably. Scaled to 14cm, (about 5.5 inches). Seemed right at first glance to me, but it might need to be bigger on some people. I recommend combining some of those crazy tiny tabs into larger, less crazy tabs when cutting. Some tabs might need to be shortened to work better with the folds.
ODST Nade by DreadMullet, unfolded by Flyerfye.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to go curl up in a ball in the corner.

Hey DreadMullet, great grenade! I'm glad to finally see one of those in the thread (well, aside from Th3FETTMAN's one he posted waaaaay back). Also, thanks for the unfold, Flyerfye!
Well, I wanted my pep grenades to have a few less tabs, so I editted the model just for my personal use (cause it's not really my file, so I won't release it without permission). It's just the grenade without the barely-visible indenteed ring near the bottom, and the handle is just flat so that I can use it as a template and use scratch-materials to make it, so I don't need to pep that difficult part. Also, just a bit of the geometry is more symmetrical on both sides. Again, not saying that was a bad model in any way, just wanted to show you my own little version:

Sorry about the double-post.
I'll save you all the long posts that usually accompany new models.
ODST SMG Top Sight:
smg_sight_obj.obj
(This isn't actually unfolded, but I wanted to show how easy the unfold is. And this is the default unfold, no custom edge-picking)
Cheers!

go right ahead and release it, i have no problem with you making it better...Jerk
i added a couple of the details just to be a jerk, like the ring at the bottom was way unnecessary, and the top lip that is like 1/32 thick is kinda outlandish... as i started to pep the grenade today i thought to myself "wow, this is just unnecessary, i wish i didnt add those parts"... so by all means post up the 3d file of your edit, i will probably fold that one. also Good call on making the Handle flat, will definitely make it easier

Left Forearm
Right Forearm
IDK if anyone else has commented on this yet but the links are dead- removed by microsoft, apparently
Also, where could I find the hip plates? Should I just use the WETA version?

Ok fellows.IN around 3 months,I will be making a monument for my halo helmets.Basically a helmet displayer,these will be able to hold 5 helmets,when I make them,They will be available to be bought.They won't cost much.I KNOW THIS ISNT CLASSIFIEDS BUT ITS JUST A INSIGHT TO WHAT IM DOING.
If anyone could give me a topic where one person has done so.PLEASE...PLEASE POST.When i sell them,they will come in a range of sizes,and in the case of being which,have different display platform styles.Assembly will be needed.
Just a little early tell but no show.
On Topic:
OMG the forearms are destroyed,damn...I didn't download them yet.Could anyone give me them via MSN Or the likes(email).
