You're a freaking legend man! Thanks so much for making that! I think it's so cool that we're from opposite sides of the world (I'm in Canada) and I can make something that you modeled. The internet is such a great place.
such a small world! Im working with the same files and can't wait to finish my armor! Thankyou so much for the free files :) your great talent and generosity is apreciated
i always wanted to have a master chief armor, since i am 6"8. Now that i am 35 y/o i´ve just seen your video. I absolutely loved it and i have the greatest respect for your accomplishment. i love to see you build it with such a passion and continuity. You did absolutely well! Keep on going, young man and you will achieve so many great things to come! PS: i now definetely know that i dont want to build an armor by myself anymore :P
Oh thank god I thought I had freakishly long legs after making the shin pieces. Good to see you had to make them longer too, thanks for the whole guide hopefully mine will turn out at least half as good as this
I also made a master Cheif suit during the summer. Mine was all 3-D printed so it’s really heavy and hard to move In but I think it turned out well. Your armor is also very impressive!
Better than the Halo tv series armor. Just watched that ending photoshoot, and DAAANG! The proportions, the paint job, and the accuracy! If I could sum up my opinions on this video in one sentence, it would be "Spot ON!". Plus, props to the cameraman. They were excellent 👍
It's CRIMINAL how few views this has got. Absolutely STELLAR work! I've planned on making an ODST set for ages, and this has finally given me pointers on where to start. Fantastic picks of soundtrack, BTW.
Dude, you are THE MAN my GUY! This is amazing! I saw a few other vids and your quality is consistently 📈↗️ I'll check back tomorrow and wont be surpried to see a feature film!
i have a fairly similar story, in early june of 2020, my brother bought halo combat evolved on the 360 (not anniversary), and i fell in love with it, and late at night on july 31st, i started making the Mark V helmet, and by october 30th 2020, i had created the entire armor.
Awesome build!!! Great job capturing it all on video! Impact props inspired me to build my Halo costumes too. Your journey sounds a lot similar to mine. But I’m a bit older and grew up with Halo. Just never thought of building a costume until I came across Impact Props early builds. And it took me 3 years to complete my first suit. Pretty spectacular you knocked your first suit on in less then 3 months. Congrats and great job you’ve made a subscriber out me!!
That's really cool! There seems to be a lot of people getting into this sort of thing from Impact Props lol. The only reason I could make this in 3 months was because of the pandemic. You'd be surprised what you can do when you have absolutely nothing to do for 2 and a half months. So glad you liked the video!
I'm blown away by the quality of the video, the suit, and the fact that a kid your age wanted to play all the halo games! Made this old fart want to make a suit!
I built armor a while ago but this vid, plus Harry Drake’s doom armor, and the builds from Impact Props has inspired me to update my armor using Eva foam and actual files. Also your build looks Awesome!!
Did a quick visit to your channel. You've done some sweet stuff! It's gonna look even sicker with the new additions! I hope to see it in the future. I subbed to you :)
Wow, this has inspired me to pick back up my halo reach armour project. I've had 3d printer for a while but it never worked, think im going to try fix it.
I watch alm Aaron's video with my 4 yr old,he's a Halo master! We saw the 1 you save Aaron in that Halo battle 30xs way, so we looked up this video! YOU SIR ARE SO TALENTED, this coming from an artist) We are watching you now! & subbed! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! 💚💚💚 #HALO @N8TEBB
Man I wish I had the patience to make something like that. And for your first time working with foam, it’s pretty much perfect. You have a bright future keep at it!
Another RU-vid by the name Blake Hull has also recently made a chief suit out of foam! He’s around my age I think. Check him out! Making halo suits out of foam is so much fun! You’re gonna love it man!
If you guys don’t have the recourses to make a visor like he did in this video, you can get a chess ball container. Eat all of them and then cut a square/ rectangle like shape. Cover that in gold window tint and then you got a pretty good visor.
Looks really good, I have a similar story to you but I printed everything and I think your paint color is better. I just made a pvc stand a few days ago for mine, and it’s really useful/cool to hold it.
I know I'm really late but great job nate I just saw this video a few weeks ago and can't stop rewatching it, wish I had the time to make one I grew up playing halo and to see this is awesome I also subbed
NO WAYYY, I’m literally making mine right now. I got my template off of Etsy and it’s about 90% completed. I’m going to make a vid in my channel when I’m done
very relatable of how I also started playing halo, trying it on my pc, bringing out my old Xbox 360, and just playing halo 1,2,3, reach,4.odst. I wish I could make my own armor someday when I'm older and have the equipment. Do you have any other tips to help make my own armor at some point?
just start. you don't NEED a 3d printer, you can make stuff out of foam. You won't be amazing right away, but with a bit of practice you'll get there! Just need foam, a knife, and glue. I hope one day you do it :)
decisions decisions eh? I was originally going to make halo 2 but couldn't find templates on the 405th. I wish you good fortune on you suit, which ever one you decide to make!
Dude this is unbelievable amazing! I’m want to make a halo gungnir costume but I just don’t know how. I got so Eva foam and a tiny 3d printer, do you got any tips? Again amazing costume!
Thanks for saying so dude! Sorry for replying so late. If you're looking to create a halo costume my best advice would be to make a 405th account and get to know the community. You can always get feedback and post progress on the forums and their discord and they can be a really big help. I would for sure try to find somebody on there who has built or is currently building a similar costume so you have a good build reference. Hope your build goes well!
@@N8TEBB Thank you so much! This is so much help. I wasn’t feeling very content, but this comment really helps! Again I’m so impressed by your costume, and ready now to try my own!
If I ever found myself in need of a new master chief suit, I would absolutely build the one from infinite. From what I can tell it has a little more geometry than halo 3, but it's certainly less that the 4/5 suits. It's defiantly doable. There's an interesting thread on the 405th here: www.405th.com/forums/threads/halo-infinite-gen-iii-mark-vi-build.50955/ Although I wouldn't start work on a suit for a game that hasn't come out yet.
As someone who's completely new to this how would I go about resizing the pieces so that they fit my dimensions? Lovely video by the way helps visualise the task at hand perfectly!
Sizing is certainly one of the hardest things to get right! I try to imagine how much space the piece should take up on my arm if it was a rectangular prism. I'll measure how big its dimensions are and then scale the template in pepekura to match. I'll print it and cut out the template and hold it up to where its supposed to go to try to see if it's too big or too small. I'll adjusts if necessary but if not I'll start working on the foam. The nice part about foam is it's easy to change around if you're not happy with the proportions. You can stretch pieces/ cut pieces out etc if necessary. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any q's!
Dude, that is so freaking awesome, where did you get the stuff for making the visor? I'm planning on making Suit of Snake Eyes' Armor from Gi Joe Retaliation
PETG plastic can be bought from ebay. I got 0.03" thickness. The dye (iDye Poly) can be found at Jo Anne's craft store (Unfortunately only in the US stores) or on ebay but for more money and shipping. The spray chrome I found on amazon. The vacuum form box is easy enough to make yourself out of plywood an peg board. Just have to cut a whole in the bottom for a shop vac (or a regular vacuum works too).
Files are from 405th.com I estimated the width by measuring how wide I would want the widest point to be on me, then used that to scale the file in pepakura designer.
I used Orange for the visor. Not seep orange, not pumpkin orange, just orange. www.joann.com/jacquard-idye-natural-fabric-dye/1687136.html Also make sure it's idye poly not just idye. The colour varies depending on the thickness of the plastic and the temperature of the water, so just leave the visor in until it has the colour you're looking for. Thank you for the support!
So I'm very interested in the support you used for the final visor; I assume it was just the visor's supports from the printing? What infill did you use for this to ensure it didn't collapse? I have seen others use a solid 'buck' but I don't think one exists for this specific helmet model. I definitely appreciate any guidance, your build is excellent!
Thank you for leaving such a nice comment! To print the visor with support I just adjusted the setting in cura to print support if there was even the slightest overhang. I think I did 15% infill on the support.
@@N8TEBB I also see in the video that you printed the visor by itself as well as the buck, did you just lay the separate visor on top of the 'sacrificial' visor that's attached to the buck? I printed mine in much the same way, but the visor that was used to make the buck is attached too well to the supports and isn't removable. I'm a little concerned that the separate visor laid on top of another will be bigger than I want for the final vacuum formed one, but I can't quite tell if that's what you did on yours. Some shots it looks like the visor that was used for the buck was able to be removed, giving you a nice recess for the finished, sanded visor piece.
@@KillingIsBadong What I did was print a visor laying on its back so I could get all of the support material. I printed it quick and with a large layer height. Then I tossed that visor, but kept the support. I then printed a new visor on its side to the layer lines were perpendicular to the face of the visor. This was printed slower and with a smaller layer height, and was the visor that I used as the buck. I simply placed the new visor on top of the old support material.
Did you have to scale the helmet at all or just print it as is? The model looks like the perfect size and I’m ready to print my own unless you recommend scaling first
Hey o, I LOVED IT, im trying to make this aswell but i need your suggestion, which 3d printer would be good enough to print out the Halo 3 master chief helmet
literally any printer. I use a CR-10 because it has a large build surface. However, for this helmet, I didn't take advantage of that because I printed the helmet in smaller pieces. You could easily make it on an ender 3, which is smaller but easier on the wallet. Of course there are more printer brands other than creality, such as prusa, and ive heard people have had plenty of success with those printers as well. Though if you have never used a printer before, I would recommend doing lots of practice prints before jumping straight into a full helmet.
@@N8TEBB thank you but i have not enough money for a 3d printer or have to section printing but are you selling some some halo 3 master cheif helmets on esty or anything, i would buy
@@ThatWotwFan Unfortunately I am not selling anything, but if you are interested in making halo helmets lots of people are selling casts of helmets that you can paint yourself! Going price is $100-150, but if you ask me it's worth spending 10 more bucks and buying an ender 3 for $160.
@@N8TEBB hey, i bought my self a 3d printer (the one you suggested) and is coming this Christmas, but my proplem now it A: what website or app you use to cut the helmet in little price. B: how do i open the templates and what website you use to scale it
The Halo Infinite armour looks cool, but I have more of a connection to Halo 3, which is why I decided to make this suit. Also, it's a bit hard to make a suit from a game that isn't released yet! lol. Thank you for the support!
could you go into more detail about how you fold the foam, i understand you cut the other side but how? could you explain as i am planning to make my own. THANK U
There's not much to it. You just use a box knife to cut out a V shaped channel on the other side of the foam so you can fold it. There's a bit of guess work to try and make the cut the right depth but you will get a feel for it after you make a few pieces. If you need more info, there's lots of tips on the 405th foam guide: www.405th.com/forums/threads/foam-guide.50964/
@@N8TEBB well to add to this I just checked the fit of the forearm and i made it too small, literally 5 minutes ago so I’ve learned from this one what to improve and I’ll be doing that, it’s always nice when I mess up the scale because it’s kind of a check for me to make sure the rest is scaled right And yes I’m on the 405th, I’ve been building since 2015 but only joined 405th last year and got all my reach templates from that plus a couple more for the extra parts
Dude. You finally played Halo in March 2020?.. I myself bought Halo as it was on sale at my Walmart. But my intent was to buy Madden 2004 . I bought both and I spent more time on Halo than Madden😂😂😂
