Droppin’ and Shockin’
February 24, 2009 27 Comments
Halo 3: ODST is expected to drop this fall. With the impending release date comes a higher sense of appreciation for the incredibly bad ass Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. While many of us express our extreme levels of excitement through sporting the ODST armor permutation on our in-game Spartans, a more talented Halo fanatic that goes by the name of rube has taken the time to handcraft a real ODST helmet. Starting with a pepakura model that was then customized and detailed to near perfection, the final product is positively drool-worthy. If you find yourself unsatiated after the tiny glimpse into the making of the helmet after the jump, head on over to the armor making masters at 405th.com for more details, pictures, and general high levels of awesomeness.
That is a thing of beauty. Congrats sir!
Dear me. I do desire this much. Anyone know if they take orders for these? How much they’d charge for such a labor of love?
Thats pretty kewl, is it wearable?

I’d love to see this thing painted black.

The model for this was created by NZ-TK on the 405th boards.
It’s beyond gorgeous in black too. Very nice!
And it’s wearable.
Oooh, didn’t know Rube finished up, sexy indeed. Amazing what will come out of the newbie section every once in awhile :D

Holy Josef in hell. Nice. I always liked the ODST better than Recon.
I WANT IT!!!!
I wonder how easy it is to see out of…
All our helmet’s are really easy to see out of actually, atleast as far as the Master Chief helmets go. Works just like sunglasses that have a reflective surface, although the way this one was made I imagine would give everything a tint of redish purple.

Better get my bettin’ padle.
As awesome as the Daft Punk helmets.
i dont know how but i want you to give it to me nao! its too awesome not to be had by me! when i saw it i almost screamed!

I’ve always been jealous of people like that, that make cool shit like masks and armor and stuff.
Me too. What I wouldn’t give to be able to make something that awesome!

Hmm… Halo 3 ODST Legendary Edition?
Nope, Custom made by someone.
Halloween project!
I’m drowning in my own drool. Just wondering will it fit on my cat’s head?
For me, right…?
Wait till the military gets their hands on this…
