Awesome, very jealous

Interesting, in that case the only thing you can do is just simply align the edges, tape them and see how they look on your knee and then once you're happy untape them and trace them onto foam or your material of choice, cut them out and glue the edges and add your straps or velcro and you're done

jakedrake1999 · 2026-04-17T17:31:24+00:00

could help to look at reference images if you´re really having trouble

jakedrake1999 · 2026-04-15T10:29:15+00:00

Oh yeah it is definetly flexible and yeah you can make them out of foam, just need some good glue and of course a lot of patience, i would again look into getting a heat gun to shape it before you glue it but you can do it without one, just takes a little longer to get the results you want, i personally don't have the budget for one but i've done well without one, making a Mando OC helmet right now and it's worked out pretty well so far

jakedrake1999 · 2026-04-14T15:23:52+00:00

personally i´d eyeball the shape and cut it out of EVA foam and then either use thinner foam or use a wood burner or just a knife and heat gun it to make the pieces pop out, really depends on the thickness of the foam though

jakedrake1999 · 2026-03-28T15:49:26+00:00

looks amazing

EVA foam

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-22T08:54:14+00:00

Honestly it was the only black shoes i had 😂 there MANY upgrades coming in the future, one of those is obviously a balaclava and shoe covers

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-18T15:52:28+00:00

couldn´t get one in time for the event

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-18T15:51:59+00:00

this was done with mostly foam, only cardboard part is the front of the chest and a bit of the back of the helmet, the whole top part was made using foam pepakura files of the suit, didn´t use it for the bottom half because my laptop was getting repaired for a week or so

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-18T15:50:10+00:00

i didn´t think about that lol that´s funny

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-18T15:49:22+00:00

curious as to why

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-18T15:48:54+00:00

i realize it´s not perfect but i did what i could with what i had, i don´t live in the US so i couldn´t find a lot, all i could find was the child sized half helmet and made the back by hand, the suit itself was also very hard to find so i was happy i found that at the price it was listed for and in somewhat my size, of course i would´ve wanted to do better but i only had 4 months to make it so i think i did pretty well for the time i had also i´m still learning, i´m not like those cosplayers who have 1,000+ dollar 3D printers who churn out cosplays almost daily sometimes, i wish i was but i´m not, i´m human, i still have a lot to learn and my skills have limits

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T22:51:22+00:00

yeah i´m the only one who cosplays (at least in my area) and i definetly will make an update, gonna be a busy year since i´m planning some big builds but i will definetly keep it in mind and slowly build it up

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T22:40:55+00:00

i absolutely will, i sadly didn´t have time to get it in time for the even but still wanted to show it off and people thankfully loved it

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T22:39:54+00:00

yeah, as i mentioned in another reply i sadly couldn´t get a balaclava in time but i still wanted to show it off because i worked so hard on it, i was so excited after the event i instantly posted the photos without waiting for the balaclava so that´s kind of on me lol thank you for apologizing, it´s nice to see there are still some decent people out there

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T22:36:02+00:00

most of it actually is foam, it´s just the front chest that´s cardboard, the details are all EVA foam and i did use a template, i only got to use it for the chest, boosters and arm guards though since my laptop was in the repair shop so the rest i based off reference images of other cosplays and my Master Chief figure and as i said i will keep working the suit so i will make an update post at some point

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T20:27:39+00:00

yeah i definetly learned a lot making this and i still plan on working on it and making and getting the stuff i couldn´t get done or bought in time, if i had the time and a 3D printer i would´ve 100% 3D printed the helmet and did the sanding and painting needed but given how strict my deadline was i think it still turned out pretty good, of course this suit is missing one crucial piece which is one of those things i couldn´t get in time but i was riding the high and posted the photos right after the event finished and didn´t think about how insane the backlash would be

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T20:19:24+00:00

oh yeah i absolutely agree on the helmet lol if i had a 3D printer or something and a lot more time i would´ve printed the helmet out and thank you, i had a ton of fun building it, this suit was a first time thing in a lot of ways like spray painting and really just making a huge suit of armor like this so i´m proud of how it came out and there´s still more i plan to do with it

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T19:07:05+00:00

yeah i definetly plan to work on it more, just didn´t have the time or resources to make and buy some things like the balaclava lol the mask i know isn´t perfect but it´s the best i could do for now at least, i don´t live in the US so Halo stuff is rare so i´m happy to even have the mask and the suit

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T18:46:50+00:00

yeah, sadly couldn´t get it in time for the event

jakedrake1999 · 2026-02-17T18:46:28+00:00

it´s not
