This is the product I like to use to demonstrate how shit Amazon.ca is.. It's like $40 locally, and $28 U.S. On Amazon.com. Then factor in shipping.
Note that both listings are direct from the manufacturer.
Shoe goo is OK, but Barge is the real deal.
Safety first. No cosplay project is worth serious injury, death, or shortening your lifespan. The safer you are, the longer you'll live, the more time you'll have to make cool nerdy Halo shit. Complacency kills.
All the armor/prop building tutorials you'll ever need. For now, just look over the pepakura and foam tutorials in section 2. Or read them all. I'm not your boss. Plus, everything you learn here builds a foundation towards a better-looking build and a more enjoyable experience. Pepakura stuff is just more pertinent to what I'm discussing right now.
Amazon Shopping List:^*
^* ^(These two items will probably be the least familiar to most people, but they're the most important. Of course, there are other tools that come into play, but you'll figure that out once you read/watch the tutorials.)
Downloads and Tutorials:
Free Pepakura Designer v4.1.6 download - You'll be using this program a lot. It's very easy to use, especially if you know anything about 3D modelling, which I don't. Plus, it's free. And if it's free, it's for me, unless it's an STD.
Every Halo-related pepakura file in existence so far. Most of these are taken straight from the game. Some were painstakingly modeled from scratch by talented 3D artists, with only high-res reference photos for guidance. Definitely the most detailed way to build your projects. There are files intended for foam, but most are made for paper. Be sure to make the distinction. Even though the files designed for paper can be used to make foam armor (with some modifications, of course), a lot of the templates you print will go to waste. If it's unfolded for paper, the intention is to line it with fiberglass.
The fiberglass and bondo method is the most detailed and the most durable, but it's also the most expensive and the most time-consuming. I would not recommend this for a beginner on a budget, but if you have the money to spend, it can be a great lesson in patience. I made an ODST helmet using this method for my first attempt years ago. It's not a good-looking helmet, but I still have it. It's currently hanging in my workshop to serve as a reminder of the lessons I learned along the way and that I have the ability to jump straight into a project without any prior experience and finish with a prop that's... well, at least it's recognizable. Maybe one day, I'll gift it to someone who can bring it to its full potential.
This Instructables tutorial is probably the easiest one to follow that I know of. This is a great place to start if you've never touched pepakura, fiberglass, or even cardstock. I wish this tutorial existed when I built my first attempt 9 or 10 years ago.
Here's an ODST helmet you can make out of foam - cheap and easy, but not as detailed. These usually come out looking more angular than curved, so you'll have to get creative to solve that issue.
Bonus cardboard tutorial - fastest, easiest, cheapest, and quite honestly the best tutorial I have ever seen. This kid is a legend.
The best advice I can give to someone starting out is:
I hope this helps get you started, and if you decide to join the 405th, send a message to SGT Razor. I'll gladly watch your career with great interest.
I got you fam. Tandy won’t ship it due to the UPS ground cost. (Federal law barge cement can’t ship air) but amazon.com will ship it though!

This. They use it to make and repair shoes. Make sure to put it on both sides and let it sit to get tacky. Once you stick them together they won’t come apart, so be careful.
It is way better than any thing I’ve used so far!

Eh, but I haven’t really found anything else that will top it.
