Afrousjojo's ODST armor

[Afrousjojo]

Hello everyone!

first of all, i'm reaaaaaaaaaly proud to be there. realy.The 405th community looks very nice.
secondly, i'm french (bisoux de France!), and i'm wondering if there is any French people around there? Anyway, let's get to the point!


A few time ago, i started my own ODST armor, because those dudes are realy cool.

So, i took some Pep refs, and for now, i did this!
they are scalled, and, because of my busy schedule, i can't (for now) do a piece by day.


These are the shoulders armor


the biceps armor



aaaaand the gauntlets


i'm curently working on the shins. Then i will apply some acrilyc resin, and fiberglass inside. after that, i will work on the torso and all the stuff around (hips plate,croch plate ect ect)

I've read many tutos, guides, and posts on this forum and on others.
But, if you have any suggestion,critique,or tips, fell free to tell me, i will take it with grattitude

Update!

I've finished to assemble the shins armor!

here they are:







also, i've notice something..my shoulder armor don't look right. i think i have to redo it

(here the shoulders)


and it should look like this:


so i wonder, where does my shoulders armor come from? i mean, from wich game???

Your shoulders are halo 3 ones. nothing wrong with them just different game variant.

 

[Afrousjojo]

thanks for the answer. i will download the ones from the ODST game then.

Glad to see another ODST. Parts look pretty good, but I agree with redoing the shoulders. The game Halo 3 ODST is the best for reference by far.
Keep up the good work, and keep is posted. No worries if real life slows down your progress. I've been working on mine for over a year.

I plan to finish it for the Paris Games Week. in october, and for the Halo 5 launch ^^

 

[Afrousjojo]

UPDATE!

instead of doing the torso, like i said, i've decided to create....THE HELMET!
and it's not a fail, i'm really proud of it







next step, shoulders armor again.

Looks good dude! There's another French user on here but I can't recall his username, he makes top notch stuff though if I remember correctly.

 

[MyrHerder]

If you're not feeling up to working on a particular step, no shame in switching to another part. Progress is progress. I've got some shoulder straps staring me in the face, so I'm working on the gauntlets the last few days.

I know what you mean dude.

 

[Afrousjojo]

Small update!

Shoulder armor are redone, they look WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better.

I think i will apply a first resin layer before stick the parts together.



Next step, Thighs!

 

[MyrHerder]

Oh man those are so much better. Well done. All of those parts are looking pretty sharp now.

It is tiiiiiiiiiime ...
FOR AN UPDATE!

i've finished the thigs!

it was surprisingly easy.

i will do the black part with foam, after i've resined it.

Here are the pics!





Oh, and i've found how to do the undersuit. I will use my SWAT-like clothes that i use for airsoft.



I think it will look like an actual ODST undersuit, don't you think?


and remember kids, be carefull with a cutter!



nex step, body armor!

 

[MyrHerder]

Looking good. I am using airsoft clothes too, but having trouble ordering pants in the right size from Amazon. Might have to do some local shopping so I can try them on first. And congrats on your first battle scar. I've got a few of my own.

Update!

I've finished the Core chest!
i'm thinking right now on how i will attach it., maybe sone hinges on the shoulders..I will see

BTW here are the pics!


I bought some acrylic résin on internet, i will start the resin work once i have it.

next step; the chestplate!

 

[Afrousjojo]

Small update

Finished the chestplate!

 

[Afrousjojo]

eyh guys!

small update!

I've finished the chest core!



also, i've found the glove i was using for airsoft, they looks perfect for the suit!




I began to apply acrilyc resin on the pieces i have created, but...well, it's not very perfect...i think i will use some polyester resin, even if it is reaaaaally difficult to use, but it will be better for the first hardening...

finally i am thinking about the stripping of the suit...i will post my ideas here later...

 

[Afrousjojo]

EYH GUYS!!!
Big update!

i've finished to pep all the files!

so here's the belt


the rib plates


the hip plates


the back plate


and the front plate!



and all of the files, i've juste realised hom many parts it makes




next step, resining!!!

 

[Afrousjojo]

small update!

Due to a huge problem with the acrilyc resin, my previous helmet was destroyed...too bad.

BUT, i've downloaded another model (hugh's one) and i've added some parts of the previous model
here it what it looks like




i will resin all the stuff this week end

 

[LucentJay]

Wow this is looking Awesome!
