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 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
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!
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!
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 👍
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 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
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.
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!
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!
Another TH-cam 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!
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 :)
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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!
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 :)
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
@@StarLineCapProductions 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
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/
There are many different types of bondo, But the main difference is how hard it is, and how long it takes to harden. Spot putty is fairly soft and dries quicker. You mix bondo yourself so you can control how fast it dries, and I find depending on what type of bondo you get, it is harder. I tend to use bondo for big gaps and spot putty for smaller things like print lines. Hope that helps! :)
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.
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!
Sure! It's right here! www.405th.com/forums/threads/mjolnir-mk-vi-master-chief-armour-halo-3.51757/post-798826 This is the build thread I made on the 405th for this project. There's lots of other info there too!
careful though, in the long run you'll end up spending more on filament and materials than the printer itself. Still a great buy, but just lettin u know its an ongoing cost
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.
This is the trick: You need the plastic to be tinted; say black, orange, etc. Then you need to lightly spray the inside with mirror chrome. You have to make sure it's light enough that you can see through. It becomes one way when you put it in the helmet. Because the inside of the helmet is much darker than the outside, it is really easy to see out of, and rather difficult to see in. Hope that helps!

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.
For the part of the Visor how do I make it one way only???
This is the trick: You need the plastic to be tinted; say black, orange, etc. Then you need to lightly spray the inside with mirror chrome. You have to make sure it's light enough that you can see through. It becomes one way when you put it in the helmet. Because the inside of the helmet is much darker than the outside, it is really easy to see out of, and rather difficult to see in. Hope that helps!
what did you do do to get the visor to fit? the one i printed was much to small and there ended up being gaps around the edges
if there's gaps id just try scaling it up a bit
Awesome project ! Can you give us your stuff (3d print model, software...)? Thx !
