Here is my helmet. Used the DFT templates for the bottom and sides etc. For the top I used a cut baseball helmet, and used 5mm foam for the top. The shield I made from a motorcycle helmet visor. I know the visor looks like garbage, but I plan on covering that was some battle damage. :lol Also need to quick seal, then seal, then paint. Unfortunately it took 2 days because I had to basically start over from my original helmet. I know this is a little too round to be screen accurate and the shield isn't completely right, but overall I think it looks ok.
Very first (foam) build. DFT ODST(another one)

Right on! I can't imagine doing 2 at one time.
Ok....I skipped a lot of build process as I was running out of time and being a beginner, some things took way longer than I had anticipated. But here is my test fit. It's far from perfect. The shins move a little, but I have a lot of detail pieces to build by this weekend (ammo pouches etc, and the boot plates) Oh and my God, I gotta figure out how to wire a fan for the helmet....Even in AC it's hot as heck.
Well I didn't use pepakura. I will on my next one I believe. I used a template PDF for this particular suit. If you are very new look up Andrew dft and see if this suits your needs. I like it because it gets me used to working with the foam. This does lack details but a great learning avenue for first timers. That being said. I don't think there are many good non pep templates out there for u to download
