µi used some small pieces of velcro,hey rainbow i have another noob question for you lol. How did you attach your biceps/triceps part to your shoulders? I using your files and I was looking at your shoulder pics and seen there's something behind it? Was curios because there's nothing on the file.
Hmm, that shin protector thing is a great idea, I wonder if you would get the same effect just using a knee pad. And it doesn't slide at all?
Everything's coming together superbly btw.

Thats a sexy leg ya got there
did you make that rifle? Or was it a purchase.
thanks man for responding,the picture was very helpful as well. Awesome battle rifle!! sweet details
The more footage I see from the upcoming Halo 4 game, the more I become attuned to the new armor.
I really like the tankish heavy new look, I think 343 did an awesome job on the redesign of the chief's armor. So it's time to build one for myself.
First question: Are there any foam templates out there by now?
If that's not the case, well, i guess I have to do it myself.
I already started unfolding some files and I wanna share them with you guys.
If anybody's going to use them, let me know what you think about it.

Yep, most of them. Not recommended are.. uhmm. well.. not recommended. For the forearms i took Rhinoc's files but used some details from this template, same for the shins. Also the shoulders are a bit tricky, I did not cut it 1:1. Actually I don't think there are overlapping pieces, sometimes the page dimension is set to 560x560mm, because that's the dimension of an ordinary foam mat and I often use a laser cutter to cut the foam. You have to set it to A4 or Letter and rearrange the pieces yourself. Sometimes pieces are bigger than an A4 or letter page, then you have to divide some faces or print the piece on multiple pages.Hey rainbow dash, so the files that you are using are the ones above the "Not recommended due to inaccuracies" ?? Also the pieces are overlapsing the pages, are they suppouse to be printed that way or do you have to place them right on each page?? Sorry if this was answered but i just jumped in the thread to watch the wip of yours lol cant stop looking at that armor and was in a hunt for h4 chief files since there a couple that are well mm not good for foam building.

Well, I think it's time for a little update, nothing big, I had time and did the detailing for the forearms, not 100% game accurate, but I like it, and that's the most important thing.
Rainbow dash, you mentioned that you use a laser engraver... what type of laser engraver do you have and what settings do you use to cut the foam? (frequency/speed/power)
hi, where did you get your foam, and what is the underarmor back piece you have?
Although you might have some glue overflow, your foam cuts look AWESOME!!! Such clean edges!

I can confirm that that is indeed my file, not my favorite file i've made but Rainbow seems to be pulling it off wellHey, the forearms that you made really don't match with any templates I have seen, and I have done a lot of digging. Do you have templates for these forearms specifically? because they do not match Kingrahl's, and I have not seen any forearm made by rhinoc that looked like the ones you have here.
I can confirm that that is indeed my file, not my favorite file i've made but Rainbow seems to be pulling it off well
I'd give a link for ya but i have no idea where it is, been months since i've been on this site.
Everythings lookin REALLY good Rainbow Dash!
