Into your Mk VI? I think odst boots might clash with the shins a little, those boots are contoured for the odst shins, which the odst shins kinda "rest/sit" on top of the odst boot, where as the Mk VI has a "gap" between the boot and its accommodating shin. The gloves might look cool with the fingerless on the Mk VI but it would probably look better with a full glove and the handplate, just because of the size of the forearms of the Mk VI

Hey zachturner009, I see it now.........now that you put the chest piece on that is.....looks good.......just something is off. Can't put my finger on it. Great work though. Keep it up.

Just looking at in now... I think the center section of the chest plate bulky. The profile of the plate seems to be coming out too far.
I could be wrong though. I am kinda comparing it to mine.

Yeah I saw that, I contact cemented and heated it up and pressed it flushly against the base chest, now it's somewhat more of a profile of an odst

Do you have a thread on yours? Love to see it, so far I heated it up and contact cemented it down to get it flatter, I'll post some pics

Alright, so here is my side profile, keep in mind going by in game ODST and the chest on the lower part does have a "hump", going to regret using that word, but here it is so far:

Also going to start a second build that I am going to love, it will probably be the hardest one for me yet, but figure my skill is pretty up there now to tackle it!

Thank you, love the build man! Great reference!

Aight been doing some customization and building:

 

[Dire]

So I modified my odst chest plate to match my reference photo and what I hope to at least 90% match:

 

[Dire]

Looking at it, it doesn't really look different in the pics, but now it has a slant on the top left and right corner of the chestplate, and the baseplate has been trimmed to look like my reference

 

[Dire]

I think I will move those sideplates an inch or so higher up.

 

[Sean Anwalt]

The side plates look to me to be pretty close to your reference. I'd hold off moving anything until you get further along.

Just my two bits.

I will take those two bits sir! But yeah so far they look okay, still have the voice in the back of my head that says hey move it up a tad

Also Dirtdives, spamming those likes to get your like count up, thought we wouldn't catch on, but we did.

 

[Dire]

So deciding if I am going to have hip plates, or roll with a double row of mag pouches and on both sides for my sidearm and dmr, hmm decisions, decisions

Dam......they'er on to my evil plan......

Just my vote: DMR mags on your chest, pistol mags below. Your hips are kinda low to keep magazines, I think.

 

[PaiganBoi]

You could always go with flash bangs and incindiaries on either hip plate.
