Sorry for the super late replies but the chest is up next and im using foam this time!

For the record... ive never used foam before so this is probably gonna look... well ya know... like a noob made it...

I decided to make the chestplate be ODST cuz... idk why I just wanted too for some reason I guess...

First i cut out the biggest pieces... the base shape of the whole armor piece... then I started cutting the other pieces out and gluing them on one by one... probably should've cut em all out and seen how they fit together first but its too late for that now... mistakes where made...

I put an extra piece of foam to widen the chestplate so I could fit in it... once again shouldve measured and checked sizing/fitting etc before gluing together but here we are...

Once I started adding details it started looking a bit less like a mess and a bit more like some kinda beta test of halo that the public never got to see... there are definatley still a few glitches

Here's the other side of the chestplate

Now i just need to make the giant thing that goes on the front whatever the heck that thing is called... and a few minor details... can't wait to make more

Hey ButterBacon3000, good job so far. I would recommend a bit less on the hot glue. It takes more effort to get rid of the excess than to put the right amount. Leaves the armor a bit cleaner.

looking good! and you can make it whatever you want dude haha. as for the hot glue, you can always weather over it too if you're worried about it

Thanks guys! I'll try to use a little less glue I was just scared the pieces were gonna peel off...

If you are worried about pieces peeling off, have you ever used contact cement? I started out using hot glue and switched over after watching 2 pieces "melt" apart from body heat

 

[RandomRanger]

Contact cement is stupid strong

 

[ButterBacon3000]

Its coming together quite nicely! Now all thats left is the big piece in the middle

Hopefully I can work on it more soon... but I've been busy with work so who knows how long it'll take me...

I painted on a detail on my helmet that was in the game but didn't show up on the print due to it being a texture rather than an actual dent

Its the black outline of a rectangle on the top of the helmet... it could be a little better but it definitely looks better with it than without it

 

[marinesniper]

i like the detail you are putting into your suit buddy i cant wait to see whats next.....

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Tip: try using tap to border the line that you will be painting......it will be much straighter and cleaner....but it looks great. Keep it up.

Going to add that line detail onto my helmet as well along with some other bits I see on the Noble 6 helmet IconProps makes. Tempted to risk using a soldering iron or dremel to add depth

I did lol I just messed it up

 

[ButterBacon3000]

I didnt make any new progress but I figured I should put everything on to see how it looks together so heres that

The gloves are just airsoft gloves... ill make the hand plates later but for now the gloves look okay

(Yes I did take these in the bathroom... its the only place I can get good lighting)

 

[marinesniper]
