Flag goes on the right shoulder. Current unit patch goes on the left.

EDIT: Hmm... It's backwards, too. It should give the illusion that the flag is flying as the soldier moves forward.

Haha great work, you should try adding a few details to the undersuit. Did you add the "tire track" texture for your behind?

It's not backwards, it's just Air Force, lol. They decided to have theirs different. Great build, man. I've been looking for a way to build some armor during my current deployment. I made a couple peps a long time ago and had a decent AR going, but never got past pep stage for my armor. Was going to fiberglass it and everything. But for all of that, you need a dust free environment, stable temps, and open area. Well, this is the dust capitol of the world and the temps are from 90 at night to 125 at noon. We have plenty of open space down here, but that brings us back to the dust....

TL;DR: I think I should try foam thanks to you

I got a LOT done this weekend!

i casted an odst helmet - to use until the EVA is done

Painted my torso

Painted one of my shoulders

Made the cod piece - NOT DONE - still needs detail

And made the thighs.

So far, i have used:

1. a six pack of foam mats from walmart
2. 1 cans of black spray paint
3. 1 can of yella paint
4. a can of plastidip
5. 4 packages of hot glue.

So far, this is turning out to be a farly inexpencive build - around 40 bucks so far.

tomarrow im gunna hit up walmart to get some more mats and glue!

THANKS for all the positive feedback!

Brad

I'm not sure the brand, but they are found in almost every Walmart there is, back in the weightlifting section.

Good luck finding them!

Walmart, in my area, sells the Gold's Gym branded ones. However, they are way too expensive at $19.99 each. I think I saw a different brand in Minnesota, but same price. Harbor Freight still has them for the least if you can get them on sale for $9.99.
