Foam ODST Build!

[Dire]

Love the Gif!!!! It's like a HALO Pinjata.....Shoot him and all his goodies just pop out!!!!!

That's messed up, and oddly satisfying.

Alright a little progress on the chest plate, I tried to make it round and contoured to my body:

 

[Dire]

Also went ahead and "pinned" it to my base chest piece/vest, I loved how it matches up, Hugh did a great job on the files!

zachturner009, great job so far........just one thing.....That chest piece add on, seems a bit too large. It goes on the chest......but it shouldn't cover the WHOLE torso. It should be less than your neckline to your sternum and lined up pit to pit. It might just be the picture's angle.....

Yeah I believe it is, the base plate stops exactly at ribs which is roughly 14 in away from my waist it, but it does only cover the chest, I'm a fairly bulky guy, I can put it on for ya if you want sir, I do appreciate the worry though!

Also stomach plate done, and got carried and attached it the the chest:

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.

I guess in a way, it's cheaper, and I hate sanding, so I use the foam technique, over the pepakura technique.

Im in the process of making my own armor which is a blend of the 2 techniques so i can see why pepakura would be easier for a helmet and why foam would be easier for armor

Quite normal to have a pep bucket and foam suit.

DarthDratinni it is typically more sturdy to have a pepakura and arguably you get more detail, but I think foam can easily get as much pop and detail. It is a little more difficult to paint as it wont come out as smooth, but it is flexible, lightweight, wont hurt you, and you can trash it/sit on it/fall off of a speeding motercycle as seen in the living with chief videos and you are going to be fine!(for the most part), also LOVE the house of wolves profile pic. Been a while since I have seen that!
