Afrousjojo's ODST armor

This is looking great! Can't wait to see how that flag turns out - might even have to make my own.

I'm interested in seeing how your visor turns out. Just as a consideration, have you looked into vacuum forming? The process of vacuum forming can create really good looking visors. Either way, I hope you have great results with your visor and build. It's looking pretty good!

Amazing build. Keep it up. I can't wait to see it completed.

i've looking for it, and for now i don't have the tools (and the skill) to do it properly. More, and sadly, the mold i've done to create my visor with vacuum forming was destroyed, and i have to do it again...

Amazing build. Keep it up. I can't wait to see it completed.

eyh guys, small update.

First day of sanding, 6hours later, i'm very tired.

here is a closer look at what we (with a frend) have done so far. This is just the helmet, and it's far from the end.

but we've made the major part.And i'm glad it turns so well.


and always well protected! even if there is dust EVERYWHERE!!!

Time for a small update!

I've started to paint the stuff, unfortunately, i don't have enough paint to do all the stuff ><
I have to buy more...

here is what i've done so far!









tommorow i'll start to sew!

 

[Afrousjojo]

EYH GUYS!!!
Big update today!

I've finished the painting!
YEAAAAH!!!

and almost finished to sew all the straps, it will be done this week end.
here are some pics!!

this is the helmet and the shoulders. I've decided to try something new, Because this odst is from the 203 rd SAR (search and rescue,) and i've thought it would be cool like this ^^




here is some "camo paint"





how i've fixed the arm armor, it will need some foam inside



and the legs, it will need foam too ^^




next step, finishing to sew, and put foam inside!

and do the visor too ><

I like the color choice, and always happy to see troopers with specific story like that. My character was in the 67th Special Operations Squadron (SOS), flying exfiltration pelicans for ODST squads during the Covenant War.
