@@johndank2209 doesn't matter too much; actual players will recognize you and I doubt most people will know helldivers well. most will probably ask if you're from star wars.
Im currently in the process of building a cosplay with the regular armor as a base, trailblazer helmet and ill modify it even further to look like a "veteran" helldiver of sorts with lots of adaptations to make fighting the enemies of super earth even more streamlined.
I'm currently combining the light gunner helmet with the original armor for a cosplay. Indeed very nice to be that free with something that is actually game accurate haha
@@jojojoppie Love to hear others who are making something other than just full standard armor :) I only now got finished printing all the parts on my tiny printer now its onto the SMG and senator.
You can it’s called starship troopers 😂 also you will never have another big budget studio director like Paul Ver Hoven again so don’t count on any movie adaptations being worth a damn.
@@drdickqueso There are a great amount of video game adaptations these days due to the generation that grew up with gaming are, well, grown up and are in the industry themselves. It's also very marketable; democracy vs giant bug aliens and terminators? Those definitely have been big box office hits.
@@sw-gs oh just give it time. It will be ran into the ground like everything else. Also one sorta okay show with one season from Amazon is not a good measure for the endless crap adaptations from Hollywood for the last few decades. Pretty sure my point is valid.
as an Irish man your required to build up a squads worth of armour and attend dragon con in that getup. seriously good work. greetings from Dublin Ireland
Some buddies and myself are planning to make our first cosplay set. Already got the 3D models from you guys. The idea was kind of daunting but this video gives some much needed insight into the process. Thanks to all you guys for this astounding tutorial!
Biggest thing I can recommend for group cosplays, is everyone works on their own stuff, together. Speaking from experience doing an ODST build with a 6 man group, taking it all on yourself when there’s scheduling conflicts is brutal. Absolutely brutal. Even if they’re not into cosplay crafting, it’s a great time to teach and do together. But taking it on yourself will drain you. It ended up working out, but… just trust me.
No joke i bought your plans for the B-01 armor and liberator like 3 weeks ago, ended up getting the autocannon too. Crazy that i see this pop up in my feed too.
The fact that you are so comfortable and are able to freely move around in the cosplay says a lot about your guys' great craftmanship and how well they thought out the design of the armor in the game. (Or im just overthinking everything 🙃)
This couldn't have been timed any better. I got your armor files a week or two ago and have been working on printing it and an autocannon for Dragoncon this year. Was especially stuck on what to use for the undergarments so I'm so glad you linked the BDU that you used, I've been searching for something that works well for days! Thanks for all the hard work and great products!
This is perfect timing for this to come out my wife and I planned on making a couple sets of the B0-1 (She'd prefer the trailblazer scout armor but we haven't found anything for that yet) for a con and this will greatly help with figuring this out. It will be our first time doing armor.
Will say in addition to using PLA filament and a wood burner or soldering iron to "weld" pieces, I picked up a plastic welder that can heat up metal staples of various shapes to be pressed in on the back after gluing to reinforce the joins.
My family and I are all going as Helldivers to comic con next year. Slightly breaking canon, as there are 6 of us.. and we're all wearing different armor (except there will be two variations of B-01). And hubby and I are doing all the printing. Big project!
Thank you so much!!! I’m making my own Helldivers cosplay out of EVA foam and it’s been such a pain in the ass trying to figure out how to make some of the stuff underneath the armor, but you guys did it so well!!
Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial! I'm currently printing out my Liberator and will work on the armor set next, but I've been thinking about how to do the cape and flight suit until now. May your citizenship class improve with the sharing of this information!
Hell yeah, I'm working on mine right now. I am working to get the base costume done for anime central next month. I plan to program a pad on the tacpad piece, that accepts hand swipes, if successful, it will trigger the strategem ball to light up to that type of strategem (blue or red).
I'd love a more in depth look at how the torso is all constructed. Is the front and back hard connected at the shoulders or are they strapped together? How is the cape mounted in there? How about the sides of the torso?
For the life of me, I really wish you guys had an option to buy the suit painted and finished. I would’ve easily dropped an extra grand. Especially with the quality and effort shown in this video. My order arrived a couple weeks late and now I’m currently rushing to have my amateur skills get it ready in time for a convention.
For us divers who don't have access to expensive chemicals, space and a workshop, what corners can you cut to make the armour "good enough". Every time I look at learning cosplay there's always so much money required to start it seems. I don't want a perfect costume, just something that's achievable and affordable for someone with no workshop and a very tight budget.
One question I have is did you guys just rigidly glue all side pieces of the chestplate together as well as the front and back? Or did you glue it together with elesastic or something similar? Also what foam did you guys use EVA?
I've been searching etsy for the setup that i use in-game, and so far the only physical items i've found for purchase are: My helmet (One of) my sidearms My grenades I've also found stl files for: One of my equipped stratagems My primary I may end up giving in and just getting myself a consistent armour set.
To aid in being able to put stuff on solo, have you considered a strip or Velcro? For example where the foam is on the shin. Hold it in place for you to be able to do the buckles. Looks awesome :D
I may have to try Cospla version A because version B was a nightmare to print. Whatever they did to it made it really hard to extrude even for my Voron. I just went back to ABS.
Hey guys. How did you manage to get the metal rods for the shins in place? are the heated up and stuck in? Looks great. currently printing your helmet design!
Would you guys please consider posting detailed pictures of the strapping and soft parts. Not even a seperate vid, but pictures to see all the parts inside and out
