Alternate chest pieces, & ideas for ODST build

[Fost117]

Hi all.

Long story short, I'm starting an ODST build, and already have the shoulders ready, (thanks to a local friend) and I'll almost be done with my pepakura helmet this coming weekend.

However, I'm going with a "commando" aesthetic throughout the build, (shemagh, less armor in some areas, better mobility, etc.) And was wondering if there's any alternate pep files for the abdominal region, instead of the standard parts that cover the belly...?

Any ideas for a file like that are appreciated, and I actually would enjoy everyone's opinion on this as a bonus, if such a thing is considered "canonical or appropriate".

Also, suggestions are extremely welcomed!

Unfortunately I'm not to sure about Pep files or alternative armor for that area, I've only seen different styles in concept art or Dare. She has a slightly different style with no shoulders.

(3rd one I think is a marine but the chest looks similar to ODST)

Perhaps you could print and scale the chest plate to get the size then if you were to go with armor from the concept art you could try free handing templates for that part of the armor.

Hope this helps and good luck with you're build.

You can combine the H2A ODSTs and new Halo 4 marines.

Hey bud, I think the best style for you would be very similar to Dare's, after all she is Recon and what you described is very recon like :b
If you wanna see a 'Tacticool' ODST, feel free to check out my Mk2 thread ^.^ (Not a shameless plug I promise)

Also, 343 really screwed up with the H2A ODST, like wtf

Thanks guys, I may try out some of Dare's files, but add some tactical gear to give it that modern look as well, (plus more functionality).
