Building an ODST Cosplay - Desert Armor out of EVA Foam. 

i was wondering how to get the visor for the helmet

Such a good decision going for the desert color scheme. It would've looked badass in black too, but the desert look is so much more memorable. If I saw this suit at a con, I'd remember it more than the all-black counterpart.

I need to make some ODST armor tbh, been wanting to for years.

That solution for closure with velcro plus magnets is simply genius - will use it with my Mandalorian armor build.

I’ve been a lifelong halo fan and this is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much and don’t stop creating!

That detail is insane, it looks like cgi or something

ODSTs are badass as fuck, my Spartans in all the games I could I made them into an odst since I’ve got the backstory of he was an odst who dropped into a covenant cruiser by accident and fought through it eventually destroying the ship but loosing his arm and leg in the process from fighting an elite and due to his efforts he was made into a Spartan and given a prosthetic limb and his helmet is the helmet he wore when he was still an ODST just upgraded to work with the mjolnir system

I think I’m going to ask my friends if they want to make a ODST uniform but with actual body armor and metal

Simply awesome. Think this build was the first one I watched you guys do and I was amazed the entire time. Such amazing work!

Wow!! The detail on this is amazing. Great build!

This is looking so good! I love all the detail you added

Just bought these templates from you guys for a little quarantine project and I have to say, it can be a little overwhelming initially trying to get everything printed, cut and scaled. Thanks for posting this because it had some really helpful tips!

Good job you did way better than I ever could have done! And it just looks amazing 😉

oh my god this is awesome, Shame i probably wouldn't ever be able to do ANYTHING like this

this is phenomenal

nice job on the armor too

Looks amazing, job well done! I like the different color lay-out 👍😃👍

I was so confused with the shoulder piece, i didn't realize you had this video, helped a TON. love the template so far, it's my first time building anything by hand.

incredible how one guy did this, great job comrade

Simply Beautiful.💗

This is definitely eye catching since most media of ODST shows us mainly the all black look, and occasionally small coloring here and there. So seeing something basically the opposite is nice to see

Very impressive

Been obsessed with good cosplay recently, instant subscribe button from me.

Great work on this project, Stealth and Spriken! It's evident you put a LOT of heart and soul into it and it came out awesome. The decals were icing on the cake as well as the weathering effects. Is the spray gun way better than rattle cans? I need to invest in one

Great job!

Wow that look awsome

That’s awsome

That was cool

Nice video and nice idea combining velcro and magnets. Also, the "simple" parts of a build needs mentioning again and again. It's far too easy to jump right in and stress through the build. Practice pays off in the end. And take care of yourself, Stealth. Those are toxic fumes and dust released whenever you use the woodburner and your rotary tool :) Cheers Mr. Spriken :) You got some video time as well.

Can you make a video doing the chest plate? Mine looks like something a 3 year old built while the rest of the suit looks great

If you ever have nylon that looks a bit too shiny (yours looks perfect this is just a suggestion!) or want a more earthy and textured paint you can use a mix of thin glue and colored chalk. I’ve seen people mix brown and tan to cover up shiny nylon and other materials that stick out (an all black pouch on a camo uniform for example). I suppose you could mix the right colors to get a more gritty looking mud or grime paint that you could use for weathering. Instead of a brown coating of dirt it could be a simulated splash of dried mud.

That's a really great video ! I bought the templates and I'm slowly working my way throught it. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time with the helmet. Especially the ''side chin part''. I'm trying to look at your build and your helmet but I can't seem to find a way to accomodate the templates so it looks great. Thanks for the video btw !

Nice

Excelente !!!! Wow!!!

FINALLY!

I’m happy now

Sweet costume men👍👍. Hope we can meet in future con. Im making Master Chief from Halo 4

One question, what thickness of EVA fam did you use?

what are all of the foam thicknesses used?

Is there any way to harden or treat the EVA foam to make it more durable, and able to be “used” in a sense? I’ve always wanted a set of armour like this but the foam seems so delicate, like I wouldn’t be able to run around and roll and climb in it. Would painting it in fibreglass resin or bindi work?

What is the thickness of EVA foam used for the video?

molto bella

What size foam did you use for the body armor

Where can I get that mannequin? Ive been looking for one for an armor stand like that

@Heroes Workshop, I may have made my helmet hole too small to fit my head into, I've already done all the other weathering and painting steps. I'm going to cut a part of the back off of the helmet and make it removable so I can put it on, but since I used Plasti-Dip there's obviously a safety issue here. Do I need a dust mask or a full on respirator when cutting through Plasti-Dip?

the templates from your store are already scaled as the armor you build in the video? or i need to check the proportions as you?

Hi you have inspired me, I bought the template off you and I'm Having a crack at making this, But I'm having an issue that The Side Chest plate File is crashing pepakura Everytime i open it.

What type of black long sleeve shirt is that you were wearing at the beginning and where can I buy one for my project?

Hey Stealth what Sandtone are you using. I really like the colourconcept with the dessert style.

Hey, I have 2 quick questions. 1 What did you use to make the visor, like what type of plastic? It looks so cool and I would love to have one on mine. And 2, where did you get all the foam and how much did you end up using?

Where’d you get your visor for the helmet? Or did you vacuform the visor? Regardless, enjoyed this video of all the other videos.

What mm of EVA fome did u use for making the armour?

Did you do anything to help keep the leg pieces from sliding off?

hey where did you get your mannequin

Great job, I thoroughly enjoyed this video when i watched it but i didnt comment smh

It'd look cool if you roll up the sleeves with it. Awesome cosplay!

Looks fan-fucking-tastic big daddy!!

Is there a way too help me make the chest plate

How much would this cost to have someone make?

Awesome! But it’s a STAFF Sgt rank. Got my ass chewed for that once

So is the foam like the helmet 8mm thick

I’m making this for Halloween this year. I was wondering how tall you are, just to see if I can adjust it to my height

👏👏👏👏👏

Do you need an air brush to paint these or can you use spray cans? Also great video!

How sturdy are the parts like the helmet, I'm trying to make one but dont want to be too rough and break it

would like to know what cuts are straight n wot not

10:54 Why does this look soo much like a stardard marine but like very well armored?!

Yeah what he said

What size foam do you use? What would you recommend from the Amazon list?

Soooooo I just went down the rabbit whole and I’m now I’m gunna start on a full ODST set of armor and weapons but I’m confused on how scaling would work and how to properly have it fit me

What thickness of foam did you end up using?

I'm sorry to bother you but when we buy the templates does it show us what millimeter of foam to use? Or does pepakura tell us what millimeter to use when we put the template on the program?

What did you use for the under suit ?

Hi really nice..do you have those templates ?

hey how much millimeter of foam do you use for the armor

Do you take commissions?

I can’t find the templates? Or is it the one I have to pay for?

question for all the cosplay ppl out here, would it be worth it to 3D the pieces or is it better to just use EVA foam? (saying both options are viable as a choice)

what sealer did you use?

What thickness foam did you use for your build? It looks like 6mm or 8mm?

question what type of foam are you using?

Magnets? How do they work?

do you have an approximate cost for this entire project?

Call me crazy, but it looks perfect for rough work

The camo is atacs au

so spartan or odst which is better

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

GRILL ME A CHEESE!

Where are the progress videos

Is there an actual step by step video anywhere

Rad

Did you 3D print this?

Who dislike ?

Battle rifle battle rifle battle rifle

Too bad that I’m broke

I got templates from a different RU-vid channel showing their build, they were $5, but I still didn't get them. Talk about money wasted.
