Dude, this IS AWESOME! I have already decided that I am going to spend my whole weekend getting all the materials for this and starting the building process, I look forward to having this completed and painted then going out to the airsoft field in full ODST mode. thank you very much for sharing this.
@@Ghostlysoap383 Depends on the distance and the speed of which a bb goes, really. It can either bounce off or go a little bit in. Personally I didn't experience any bb fully going into my armor, but it did leave a good mark.
Just finished making the shoulder armour for this and I am so pleased. Thank you so much these videos are a wealth of information and I am learning so much ..cannot wait to complete this...thanks once again ..keep up all the great work ..love watching all your videos
Thnx for the tutorial. Thinking about encasing it in a shell of kydex and attach them to a motorcycle jacket. I may end up with a full build but my helmet is definitely not odst in thr least bit. I keep getting either fallout or doom guy. Honestly its was supposed to be a gas mask theme. Welp we will see how it goes and i may post a link later. Cheers.
I’ve tried so many times to do this.. but the hinge part comes out crap every time.. I’m using some old eva foam that’s been in the garage (in the cold) for awhile, would that effect how easy it is to cut? I’m using brand new blades too :/
I just saw suicide squad, got burger king, got halo megabloks, saw a girl dressed like a cat, now a halo odst costume part is uploaded?! BEST DAY EVER!
No that will not be covered as I already have made a tutorial no painting and sealing =) Part 10 will be more focused on getting the armor on your body.
Hey, I love cosplay and I'd love to make this but what bout different sizes? I'm only 5'2 and I'm just worried bout it being to big for someone of my size
Are you going to make a Halo 4/5 Recruit Armor template+tutorial at some point? I've seen your H4 Spartan IV armor set, and I think how skilled you are right now, it shouldn't take to long. (Please note I'm a complete newbie in the cosplay world and have no clue how long it actually takes to make a template of a full suit.)
totally awesome man, i have been wanting to start building my own cosplay costumes and this is really awesome its great to learn and use a new base form, really awesome it really makes me believe i can make this truly awesome looking fw to the rest until its completed gonna try my hand and build one for myself add some neon lights punk it up awesome man
Due to the success of this one so far, im currently planning to do more like this =) A spartan series is one I would like to do yes. But not confirmed nor which design at this point .
Andrew DFT Thats Awesome! Cant wait to see it. Currently working on my own ODST through your files. But no matter what i do it doesnt fit... My chin keeps poking out. Thinking that im printing them wrong currently playing with my printer to try and fix it.
So... this question might have already been answered. Do you get all the templates needed for 1 to 9 for $3.50?? I'd love to hear from anyone who has downloaded the templates, that'd be a big help. Thanks.
I hate how you make these videos so gosh darn amazing but when I go to attempt to make... idk the helmet I fail miserably. I hope I do better on the torso since it has bigger pieces, before hand though I’m going to watch all the tutorials
A hair dryer will work as long as it gets hot. I have been using one for my project and i have found that a larger hair dryer works better than a smaller one, just in case you were wondering

Ghillie Guy did you end up playing airsoft with the armour after? Ive been wondering if the bbs would bounce off the foam or stick in.
Yeah same I would like to know that
Foam isn’t the best for airsoft and wearing the helmet which isn’t certified for airsoft use can result in injury

Sorry for the Few hours delay, Realized Titanfall 2 beta burns allot more time then anticipated XD Good luck on the shoulder piece everyone =)
I notice the clothing for the ODST armor next to you matches the armor. Do you mind saying what clothing you used and how to choose?
I went to a second hand clothes store, and looked for oldish overalls. I found that color, and designed all my costumes color palattes around it =)
+Andrew DFT A good idea you should do for future armors.
if you ever plan on doing a dark grey or black. a great undersuit would be motorcycle gear.
Cheers DFT you are an artist at this
I played it yesterday too
your foam tutorials have instantly become my favorite on youtube. Any chances you'll ever tackle the Mass effect N7 armor?
Andy Perry some company makes the mass effect armour out of full motorcycle leather suits. Rooster teeth used them for an immersion episode.
Just finished making the shoulder armour for this and I am so pleased. Thank you so much these videos are a wealth of information and I am learning so much ..cannot wait to complete this...thanks once again ..keep up all the great work ..love watching all your videos
I cant find the quantity of foam ill need. Can you help me out?
Looks really nice man, can't wait for the next episode on this. You always make this seem way easier than it is :P
Just practice my friend =)

This was the most fun piece to build for me

You make cutting into foam look easy
I just saw suicide squad, got burger king, got halo megabloks, saw a girl dressed like a cat, now a halo odst costume part is uploaded?! BEST DAY EVER!
Will you show us how to paint and seal the armor?
No that will not be covered as I already have made a tutorial no painting and sealing =) Part 10 will be more focused on getting the armor on your body.
Just wondering if you’re still making these. Any chance you just sell them? I’m lazy and work a lot
anyone have a tutorial for the sniper?
ruclips.net/video/_WjNGyZykxg/видео.html it's probably late but here is one
When you go to seal this piece of armor, would you recommend plasti-dip? Its like a spray on rubber sealant.
no plasti dip doesn't stick to the foam as well
use wood glue
Andrew i think its hilarious that you dont know how to describe things XD i love it
Hey, I love cosplay and I'd love to make this but what bout different sizes? I'm only 5'2 and I'm just worried bout it being to big for someone of my size
Did you cut and reglue the "wing" inserts on both sides of the lower shoulder piece, or just on one side??
Both, the design should be symmetrical on either sides =D

this is a really good series keep up the good work
are you using just regular size printer paper for the cut outs?
totally awesome man, i have been wanting to start building my own cosplay costumes and this is really awesome its great to learn and use a new base form, really awesome it really makes me believe i can make this truly awesome looking fw to the rest until its completed gonna try my hand and build one for myself add some neon lights punk it up awesome man
Do you have any thoughts about making stormtrooper armour, as I am struggling to make my own and could do with some top tips.
will you ever do a tutorial like this but with spartan armor? files and all?
Due to the success of this one so far, im currently planning to do more like this =) A spartan series is one I would like to do yes. But not confirmed nor which design at this point .
+Andrew DFT there is the mark 4 :D
or recruit from halo 5
Andrew DFT Thats Awesome! Cant wait to see it. Currently working on my own ODST through your files. But no matter what i do it doesnt fit... My chin keeps poking out. Thinking that im printing them wrong currently playing with my printer to try and fix it.
Got a tutorial on how to make a halo3 shot gun?
How come the armor he wears at the beginning isn't the armor he make in the episode?
it is; it even has the same markings from burns on the eva foam
are the armor pieces pretty much one size fits all? I'm pretty tall
on his template you can buy there is small and medium size people and smaller sized people. so 2 kinds you can make
Tall and slim is not really a major issue at all for scaling. Its more thickness/ muscle that could mean you need to adjust certain parts.
Hey, where do you buy your Eva foam, and do you order it or pick it up in store?
Harbor Freight,Home Depot,Lowes
Would this work for a person sitting at 1.8 meters ?
Yes
So... this question might have already been answered. Do you get all the templates needed for 1 to 9 for $3.50?? I'd love to hear from anyone who has downloaded the templates, that'd be a big help. Thanks.
yes you get them, and they are very useful
-Izzy Ensley- thanks.
I hate how you make these videos so gosh darn amazing but when I go to attempt to make... idk the helmet I fail miserably. I hope I do better on the torso since it has bigger pieces, before hand though I’m going to watch all the tutorials
Practice makes perfect. It took me solid 5 tries to get a proper helmet.
what size foam did u use
will a hair dryer work instead of a heat gun?
A hair dryer will work as long as it gets hot. I have been using one for my project and i have found that a larger hair dryer works better than a smaller one, just in case you were wondering
It will, but it will take more time than a regular heat gun.
@@lolgetout953 wow, I completely forgot about this comment, I ended up getting a heat gun, and I made a costume shortly after I made this comment
Should watch evil ted videos he can help with your helmets an curving foam
please set the etsy file so you can just use a credit/debit card
Ty so much. Keep it up man
Make a fallout NCR ranger cosplay
5:13 did you heat the knife?
nope just a very sharp blade =)
+Andrew DFT Ah, I see. Also I was wondering if this armor set is different from your other ODST design
+The Blasian (Afro Ninja) yes very slight but you don't have much of your Ab plates and this has more details
+Freelancer6097 Yeah, I did noticed the extra details, thanks for the help
Made this one outside, during a storm lol
I did it with cardboard and it was a lot easier
I used this tutorial to make one out of steel
The blue print worked great
So I bought this guide off etsy for nothing since you made the pdf free...
why do we need to buy the templates
BrickGaming you dont need to, as he said in part one it just helps you out
The first one he cut out looked like an elephant
build storm trooper armor
I think he has done before. I know for sure he's made Star Wars weapons though.
ok thanks m8
1 dislike what?
Andrew, How much is the EVA foam you use? And where do you get it?
Super novaa I'd recommend going to any local hardware store that might be in your area
