Question about certain Halo: Reach armor parts (Foam)

[DamsBwy]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone had or knows where I can get the template files for the Grenadier Chest/UA, Mark VI Helmet, FJ Knee Pads and the UA/Chobham?

Since I looked for them in the Armory but there are only the Pepakura files but not in its foam version

I would appreciate your help. I'm thinking about starting my first project and I would like to have all the files first hahaha

I leave an image of what I want to do

I’ll take a look later today after work. If i can’t find any, I can make a foam unfold for you.

Pepakura is somewhat-similar to how you would make a foam part, you just need to consider the foam thickness and foam flexibility to use as an advantage. I mainly do foamwork, but most of the files I use are pepakura-based.

This video will teach you how to do foam unfolds. This, in my opinion, is one of the best techniques to make templates out of. If you get stuck I'm happy to help but I think it best if you give it a shot first.

Practice with some cardboard first. When you're ready, move onto foam. PunishedProps on YT has some great advice for getting started.

Let's see if it can be achieved hahaha

And another question

What thickness of foam do you recommend?

 

[BDUB]

I'd start with 8-10mm, or about 1/2". Anywhere near that range should be fine. As you get better, you can get thinner stuff for detailing.

Thanks for the tips

Although the grenadier chest will be quite a challenge
