I design Halo suits, including this helmet from the game Halo ODST. I made the base of the helmet out of card stock paper and tape. I then mixed fiberglass resin to start a coat over the outside of the helmet for strength. I then used fiberglass on the inside of the helmet for reinforcement. I used a program called Pepakura to make the origami type-folds.
@Mattcat3121 Visor is a little tricky. You can make it using a standard visor for a motorcycle, like a HJC gold tinted or blue tinted visor. It wouldn't truly look like the polygons on the visor, but it looks very good. The other option I have seen is actually getting a bubble shaped visor and using that for the visor. Google "405th" as they have some great forums and guides on how to make the visor for this. Good luck!!
Wow first comment!! I am making an odst helmet too, but i am a beginner. Since you design these a lot , do you have any tips for making the visor?
