Well, Helm 2 is on the way, and i know it will fit this time (even if it is a tad too big)
turns out that it was the correct scale, my printer just had one of its monets and decided to shrink it my 15%, so that will be exiting my bedroom window, better maky sure my mums car is out of the way first though XD

ok. here is the second one, and this time it fits, maybey a tad big, but ODST's came i nall shapes and sizes and their gera was standardised, thats my excure
here is is, looking lovely
and the current state of the inside, i dare not put it on, as it is like a medeavil torture device, and it is likely to not come off
all in all, that is everythig done pep wise, and as it appears to be getting hot, real hot, it looks like i could start doing some resin work. unfortunately im being dragged to my grandparents house tomorrow, so wont get started til later in the week, a shame as tommorrow is said to be the best day. joy, trapped in a small, uncomfortable room, which is stuffy, and filled with even stuffier people.

Well, the pepping looks great. Very nice work indeed. Just one thing: is it just me or is that helmet huge on you?

unfortunately, i think that it is a bit big. first i make a helm to small, scale it up only by a bit, then its to big. probarbly didnt help that i changed my printer between the two
actually after doing a bit of pking around, the helm isnt too big. it is the same width and depth of my EOD, which was a tad small, its just quite a bit higher, but the ODST hel was always higher. besides, most people have it about that side, otherwise you wouldnt be able to fit your head inside it.
and as always, somthing else needs to be changed, the chest core is a bit big (well, very big) so im going to buld another one, but i min no rush. that can wait til winter XD

well, i have a target date to get my armour ready. this time next year.
every year my little town holds a walk. for some reason people fly in from all over the world (mainly military groups) and join in, to see who is the best. why on earth anyone would want to come here in the first place is crazy, let alone want to come here all the way from China, America, Australia to got for a small walk
anyway, my task is to do the 25K walk in my ODST armour, maybey even get some friends involved (unlikely)
this means that i may need a small - medium ODST flag that i can carry around, or maybey even a 405th flag to show support to this community.
its a bit of a longshot, but i think that it would be great fun, as i have regularly done the walk with a large pack on my back, i would just need to work about overheating. at least i wouldnt get any sunburn XD

urgh. this is starting to become ahorrible re-run of last year
i decided that i was going to make the torso using Nightshades solid torso back and neck, and it was going very well, until it turned out it was too small
looks like ill have to start that again, though the soft torso foam piece turned out wonderful, and sirprised it fits so well, seeming as its only 2 pieces of foam.
people love pictures
it looks like i will be stealing a few ideas from Rino626 in terms of the gauntlets, and from another ODST who i forget the name (well, the person who is also using nightshades back piece, and for the straps covered some eva foam in cloth)
And a big shout out to spartan-005 for giving me a big copy of his avatar, hopefuly i can use that somewhere on my armour
in more bad news, today was lovely, not quite warm enough, but there was plenty of sun to bake that lovely resin, well, thats if i got a chance to do any resining. unfortunately, as i still live with my mum, i was stuck in the garden, doing chorse, and at the time of writing this, it has just clouded over, and got a tad cooler. too cold for resin. i hate this place.

not that anyone really cares, but i have just (well, almost) finished step 2 of armour making, i have resined all of my pepped pieces (thoug i still have the thighs and the torso back to do) but i have also sucessfuly applies a single tiny square of fibreglass to one of the pieces, so step 3 is already under way.

Needs moar pictures! hehe Great work so far, well done on the helmet, looks to be perfectly scaled.
I feel you about the weather. It took me 4 months to make my suit, and I'm fairly sure it could have taken much less than that were it not for all the days wasted due to bad weather. :rolleyes

urgh. im not sure what to do with this project. whie i would really love ODTS armour, im just getting no time. when the weather is good im stuck out in the garden or off doing somthing else, and when im stuck ndoors i just dont have the willpower to get on with the few items i have left to pep. while i have fibreglass half of one of the shoulders and both of the kidney protector thinges, those took a long time, and im just too sensative with the hot weather and the sun outside. while i will finish this it may take along time to get done.i really should start experimenting with some rondo, but all i have is a tiny alley down the side of my house to work in, and no where that is more sheltered to work.
in other news i did get a second neck piece pepped, though i did have to suffer the horror of accidently dropping my dremel tool box on it. thankfully it wasnt damaged much, and i wont post any pictures beucase everone here knows what fibreglass looks like, horrible horrible stuff.
