Fiberglass mat or cloth - only if you go with epoxy or polyester resin. Type used depends on budget and working environment. Resin - Epoxy, Polyester, or casting resin. Others use superglue, gorilla glue, or hot glue 3. A stack of Card Stock - Letter or A4 size. Ok, now for the tangible materials and tools Materials: 1. The NUMBER 1 supply you NEED is patience. ** 3D model CREDIT used for the helmet base goes to ForgedReclaimer. This project was inspired by the talented people in the 405th. While building the rest of the armor, make frequent visits to The Helmet build to refresh your memory on how to do things. So it is best to pay close attention to how the helmet is built. The rest of the armor creation process build upon the techniques used in PART 1. We will perservere and one day walk with head held up high covered from head to toe in HALO Armor goodness.Įverything we learn in Part 1 will be applied to Parts 2-5. Most who embark on armor building never get past this stage. Part 1 of the Halo 3 ODST Armor Project is the Helmet. To help unify all the instructables I also published a Table Of Contents (TOC) instructable for the Halo ODST Armor Build. The project is so large that I decided to break it down into five(5) Instructables: 1. Halo 1-3 Spartan permutations, ODST permutations, Halo Reach permutations, Iron Man permutations, samurai, etc. Although this instructable is specifically for the ODST, the instructable can be applied to any armor build - e.g. And we will end up spending money, ball park estimates on the low end around $300 for the entire suit. Along the way, we will be printing out 3D models unfolded into Pepakura files doing origami on steroids working with hazardous materials using power tools you may end up glueing your fingers together, your shoes to the floor or the cat to the couch. Build time will be from several months to over a year depending on level of detail and how determined you are.

So you really want to do this? This is a big project. This is PART 1 of a 5 part series on a full ODST Armor you can wear.
