First build, foam ODST Armor.

[DoctorFang]

Biiiig update: I knocked out all the sealing, painting, wethering, and strapping this weekend. It's finally all done! And it couldn't have been done at a better time, seeing as how Halloween is jusy a little over week away. I didn't manage to get a good helmet done (I'm not satisfied with my foam helmet) but I plan on eventually doing a pep one with fiberglass, resin, bondo and all that jazz, sooner or later. But without further ado, the finished product!
Please ignore the random stuff laying around, I have clutter and supplies laying everywhere.

The legs. I decided that the armor needed at least one bullet hole, so I had to sacrifice the thigh as my victim.

Armor selfie! Lol

after racking my brain for the best place to mount the knife somewhere that would be accessable and where it wouldn't hinder movement or look too odd, I just decided to put the sheath/brackets in the chest plate.

I did end up making the back plate instead of finishing the back pack, I just didn't feel like I would be able to do the rucksack justice if I built it. Sorry about the feet in the pic, lol. But anyway, that's it! I hope to have more pics when the weekend comes.

Thanks man, i was actually worried I had gone too far and went a little too heavy with the weathering. But I wanted my armor to carry the same sentiment a good glare does: "You wanna go? Believe me, I've seen and done some serious s***." Lol but anyways, the weathering was actually the most fun part of the build, at least for me anyways.

Great job man looks sweet

Thanks bro! It's been a long and tedious road, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It's been fun and I'm proud of the finished result.

The only real downside of being able to make this stuff is this: my brother wants help with an odst suit, a friend of mine would like me to work on an iron man suit for him, and another friend says we could go to comicon sometime, if I help him make a Jorge suit. All I know is I'm definitely going to cough up the cash for a heat knife and use patterns, this build took way long because I DIDN'T use a heat knife, and made it from looking at pics.

Thank you much bro! I absolutely cannot wait to see your carter build finished btw, it looks straight up amazing.

Wow, really nice work here! Good to see this thing finished, the paint job looks sweet! I too am a lover of heavy weathering and battle damage (whether mine was intentional or not lol) and it definitely adds a bit of character to your armour
