Biceps 10% Larger
Shins % Normal scale
Shoulders 20% Larger
Mod Forearms Normal Scale
Mod Boots 10% Smaller
Mod Thighs Normal Scale
Mod Chest Normal Scale
Butt Guard 20% Larger
Codpiece 70% Larger
Mod Helmet 10% Smaller

Thank you. This is really helpful, and not necessarily just for Halo armor. There aren’t many videos out there that show how to attach armor pieces to your body. The idea of using belts is brilliant.
I will make sure to come back to this video when I finish up my Halo armor.
Thanks again :)
Hey you are welcome!
I’m not a halo cosplayer but this is definitely going to help with my berserker cosplay, thanks homie.
I’m watching a bunch of these bc I’m bored during quarantine and I really wanna make a purple master chief cosplay for Halloween this year. This is super helpful and I’m totally using all of these videos to make my costume, thanks for the help.
yeah
I really appreciate a video like this. There are so many great videos out there for making armour. But there are not many that go into depth on how to properly strap and pad armour to fit the person inside it. So thank you for covering this as it works perfectly for a whole bunch of projects of mine.
I'm about to start a Reach armor, this belting will be useful. Thanks for making this.
Regards from Colombia my friend, thank you very much for saying good bye in spanish...
I keep coming back to this vid as i build my armor piece by piece. Im doing 3D printed reach armor, so it hasn't been 1:1 especially since im not an expert at sizeing or editing my models to fit me, but its been going great so far. working on the thighs right now before the arms, but my helmet and torso turned out great for a first time cosplay
Amazing...thanks my friend
Awesome guide. I know one major mistake I have made so far is that I have 3D printed my entire armour set from PLA and its made it somewhat incredibly difficult to move in and pad because the material has no give AT ALL but with this guide I might have a few ideas I can try. Just need to find a Halo 3 visor for my helmet 😕
Lots of good info here thanks man
Looking good. Awesome tuts.
I got lucky enough with my armor to not need any strapping. I just used fabric snaps and some Velcro.
Nice dude. Yeah there are lots of ways to do it.
Had a question about the visor what did you use i know u have a link but did you put that sheet on something?
Question about your forearm piece, where did you buy the foam for the inside . I'm have the same problem with it, I need to snug the forearm foam. Thanks.
Thanks for the information!
What kind of motocross armor do you use
where do you buy the clips for the top of the torso?
You can find them in the craft section at Wal Mart.
how many square of EVA foam would it take to do it all ?? and we have to adapt the costume to our size?
Damm bruh looks soo good
When you connected the straps and buckles and basically tested out fitting the armor, do you recommend doing this once everything is painted and done or right after you finish assembling the armor? (as in right before plasti-dipping?). Since if you put the straps and buckles, you would need to tape up the straps/buckles/etc. I'm about done finishing up an ODST armor suit but I'm not sure if I should try and attaching the straps now or after I plastidip or even after I spray paint?
Test fit it before you paint it. Strap and buckle it after you paint it.
How much would it cost for you to make me a full Halo outfit
Please make Halo 5 Mark VI Armor after the Halo 3 Armor
fala meu mano, apesar de nao entender uma palavra sua,mas esta ajudando bastante seus videos..valeu( maximus diretamente do brasil- sc)
Yo this helped a lot thanks man
do you have any suggestions for strengthening plastic armor? i'm just a little pressed for time and am a bit low on money and was wondering if you would have any good ideas.
Usually people would coat the armor in epoxy resin, it adds a nice tough and rugged strength to it
Thanks for all bro your are the best
Awesome thanks dude
Hey,remember the thunder gun irl that will shoot?,well...we're is it???!!!
Great video!
Do you think 96 square feet of EVA foam enough for the entire armor?
Oh yeah
Random question, what would happen if an airsoft bb hit EVA foam? Would it go straight through it?
No I don't believe it will go straight. It may imbed itself into the foam, but EVA is really sturdy and handles impact well.
Ok, so if you were to wear this armor to a airsoft battle-thing, it would be decently fine
I know, very random question
Is the file from your drop box already sized to your fit or no
No it is not. You’ll need to resize it.
Do you think I could make the armor out of cardboard instead of foam?
Foam has the advantage of heat shaping and a little flexibility. If you intend to walk around a con floor in it, I'd go foam.
Thank bro good TH-camr
Sooo i just bought the halo ultra perstieg armor has not come i. Yet but the velcro is shit how can i modify it can i use your tecnek will it work ?
What part are you having an issue with.
@@angelegend every part lol
@@angelegend the whole jump suit has velcro pads and so does the armor i want those replaced with somthing a lot sturdy and wont come off when walking around so should i use clips or push buttons idk what to use you huys know this stuff better then me
I would suggest back pack clips or snaps that would see on a jacket. You can find mini backpack style clips in the craft section of Walmart, and they are perfect for discreetly attaching armor sections.
@@angelegend thank you i will do that !!!!
thank you! now i know how to fix the insides of my helmet now
I am unable to open the .pdo files does anyone have a fix for this?
Did you download the Pepakura Viewer and Designer?
Does anyone know what thicknes of foam he used??
It was a combination of 3/8" and 1/2" thick foam.
sensacional ,show, mais 1 escrito
What is it you wear under your suit?
I wear Motocross armor. You can find it on Amazon in the description.
I have a 3d printer so I might make halo 6 INFINITE if it comes out
How did you harden the eva
I didn't harden it. I just toughened it up with the plastidip. You can harden EVA with PVA glue though.
@@angelegend appreciate it
Yeah, but can it take a hit
Ohhhhh yes. It handles impact better than my fiberglass suit.
I know it's cosplay but can that helmet actually take a hit LOL.
give me one of your helmets of master chief
