I will have to investigate more.

I didn't like the look of the Infinite Mark VII and the hero's workshop fileset seemed to be a bit more confusing for a paid product. But after looking at the forums maybe I am the issue.

Welcome to the 405th!

marinesniper has a 3D printed infinite chief
JammedMite942 has a foam infinite chief
Scarlet Impaler is currently making a foam infinite chief
Waltimusprime has a foam infinite chief
RedRends has a foam infinite chief

I know there’s lots more on here but those are the only ones I can recall atm. It’s definitely worth checking out their build threads if you’re thinking of making a chief suit for yourself!

Thanks so much, huge fan of your recent youtube video. I wish I could've watched the whole remake of your suit. My ADHD made it hard to follow all the video cuts but I've rewatched it several times on my attempts so far.

I'm not sure which link I was clicking through but it brought me to the pattern I was actually looking for. I will have to test it out in my free time later today.

Halo helmet foam

hi guys, modify several files to make it easier to put them together and cut them, I want to share them with you, I hope it works for you and you like it.
