The project is so large that I decided to break it down into five(5) Instructables: 1. Halo 1-3 Spartan permutations, ODST permutations, Halo Reach permutations, Iron Man permutations, samurai, etc. Although this instructable is specifically for the ODST, the instructable can be applied to any armor build - e.g. And we will end up spending money, ball park estimates on the low end around $300 for the entire suit. Along the way, we will be printing out 3D models unfolded into Pepakura files doing origami on steroids working with hazardous materials using power tools you may end up glueing your fingers together, your shoes to the floor or the cat to the couch. Build time will be from several months to over a year depending on level of detail and how determined you are. So you really want to do this? This is a big project.
This is PART 1 of a 5 part series on a full ODST Armor you can wear.
