You're making armor...out of paper?

If you had read the earlier posts you would know this is just a frame. And it is not paper.

Thanks bro. Gonna try to Urethane them Saturday if I have time. Also waiting on ink for our printer at the moment. I think I have totally decided to do a scout helmet but I may continue making the ODST helmet afterwards.

This is awesome. :) My brother did this 2 years ago. He got a legit motorbike helmet heavily discounted by making a deal to pose in it afterwards at the show with ATVs and stuff. :)

I actually have a friend who made the every part of the armor except the helmet. He used real metal on most pieces, and we just added a metalic coating that was olive green. It looked a little darker than the real halo armor. Remember have fun when doing it! :)

Going to experiment with Urethane this weekend on a halo frag grenade. Hope it works as well as fiberglass resin!

Yup. It is HUGE. Also my glue gun broke. Bought a new one and found out it is a low temp. Gonna take it back and buy a dual temp so I don't have to worry about the gluesticks I buy. lol

After the first light layer of urethane, my friend started throwing it up against a wall and it held stiff. :D
