First build - Jorge, Halo Reach

[TH3TA]

So I haven't posted in a while here in the forums. I've been busy building my armor and posting in Facebook. I modeled a functional hip pouch for a reach belt. I want to know how I can post the files somewhere here in the forums where fellow members can find it, download for free and print it.

This build looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see it done!!!!

Awesome! What glue did you use to bond the eva foam platform to the outer shoe sole?

I hot glue to bond the platforms to the rubber sole. I put a good glob down first to attach the two, then went back and filled all the gaps with hot glue. I used like 10 big sticks of hot glue to fill in every space I could.

This is turning out so well. Interesting what you have going on in there with the bike helmet and the headset, looks super secure and functional.

How is the stability of your boots? I've seen other builds basically make EVA foam pumps and I wondered if it might be too squishy, especially while walking around in armor. I was thinking about using calto shoes but yours turned out so well that now I'm second guessing

So I dumped over 400 pictures of my Jorge build into my google drive and made viewing public. Feel free to take a look:
