I haven't released any files but the Knee(not unfolded). The knee can be found here in the 3D section: Soaring Hammer • A Community for Prop Builders Registration is open until the 1st of next month. I'm busy with home renovations for another month and then I'll get to work finishing and...

Sorry I haven't posted any updates in a while. I'm in the middle of moving and home repair on top of working on some other projects. This project will be on hold for a while as I finish up some more pieces for my Jorge build.

I will most likely split the pieces beneath the arms and then use side-release nylon buckles to connect them. It just seems like it would be a lot easier to get in and out of that way as opposed to trying to put it on like a shirt. I'll have to wait til I have it assembled to officially decide...

Is the helmet an original design? It looks amazing.

*Reserved for further info*

Possibly the most useful tool there is for EVA foam builds is the trusty scroll saw. Today I will explain some of aspects of using the saw such as: -Safety -Templates and Spacing -How to cut your parts -How to get the desired angles -How to choose your saw and what settings to use it at First...

The second knee is built: Now to get started writing that tutorial.

Not much of an update but I assembled one of the knees last night: My model that I used for templates: The piece seen within the lower recess is a support strut for Pepakura thus not used for the foam piece. I've also decided to create a tutorial on using a scroll saw for foam builds...

Thanks. I will most likely just build the rifle from styrene and PVC. I may do another version later with functional internals. Here is my 3D render of the rifle that I will be converting to CAD for my build: Wire frame:

The pack is done for the time being: I need to finish my model of Jorge's chest armor before I close off the back so that it will interlock with the chest itself. I'm also contemplating making one of the rear panels into a hatch so that I can store the battery packs for the lights/cooling...

Thanks for the compliment. I think I'll wait on painting until I have the rest of the suit assembled. $119 + roughly $10 for tax Shop Skil 16" Variable Speed Scroll Saw at Lowes.com Despite the bad reviews I haven't had a single problem with it. Although I've only used it on the foam and a...

Just need to finish off the back and add a few more detail pieces. I'm so proud of my little saw: I think I need to plan my part layouts better to turn a huge pile of scraps into a small-medium one.

So close to being done I can almost taste it. Although that may just be all the EVA saw dust floating around my office. The upper details are the same for each side so I only took a picture of the left. Hopefully I can have it finished up within the next day or two.

I didn't get as much done by now as I had hoped but I need to buy some more blades for the saw before I continue. Here is what I have so far: Sorry about the image being small, I didn't want the sides to get cut off in the thread. Here is an image of my 3D render that the templates are...

Re: Halo Reach Grenadier Helmet It's been a while since I've had the chance to do any building but here is a look at what I was able to do today. Jorge's backpack: I used a 3D model I created to make templates for EVA foam and then cut them out using my new scroll saw with the proper angles so...
