Zachturner009's Halo Reach Commando Foam Build

[Dire]

Hey zachturner009, Lines look pin straight and seam are great. You talk about my legs? That shin piece from 4 years ago looks pretty thin. I could probably use that as a bracer.

I know I had to beef up the new one by 100mm

just 100? That piece looked REALLY SMALL!!!

Been working on some ideas for the knees, ya know, just case i want to do a kneeling action pose, thinking about "worbla plating" it, who knows maybe foam is tough enough, but I'm like 220 lbs.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Foam will work.

Worbla coating is actually a really neat idea. I've blown knee plates apart at the seams while kneeling so that extra bit of rigidity would keep everything together.

That too.......

Foam is tough enough, coat the entire inside with shoe goo of the knee and you won't have to worry. I squished my knee pads on my odst a lot and it never tore. im about 175LBs so you'll be fine.

If I had $1 for every time he4thbar mentioned shoe goo

Heh you might xD. I haven't been being with foam lately, though my family certainly knows by now that the secret behind a study build is shoe goo.

 

[MrJamin]

RandomRanger he4thbar - not to knock it or anything. I did pick up two tubes from Menards to experiment with :-D

I think at this point, RandomRanger's, family is ready to some shoe glue on him....

The smell though, a badass idea still

Yeah, you gotta have a space where you can let it cure for 24hrs safely. But it's super worth it, I have no fears about my armor breaking and haven't had to do any real repairs.
My buckles are actually wearing out faster than the armor is
