Intro
Greetings folks. My name is Christopher, aka, GeneralSpeer on many forums and YouTube, aka cspeerartist on Instagram. I have been into costuming for a long time, almost a decade now with medieval inspired looks, for the last 5 years in Star Wars, etc. And recently, I have embarked into the Halo franchise. This is one of two builds I plan to do for the 405th, focusing specifically for this thread on the ODST suit of armor, with Recon elements. And further more, I plan to have this suit ready for DragonCon and will be rolling with the Galactic Armory squad come time of the event.
I am pretty well versed when it comes to working with kits and different materials with my experience in the 501st, and so when I started to embark on the process of making an ODST kit, I was super happy with how conceptually simple it is in addition to the customizability being really awesome to work with. I don't mind building replicas, but it's nice to do your own thing. Below is a roster of the completed builds I've done, with more on the way, but I am excited to work on something different for a change.
The setup I have been working with has been using Branfur's ODST recon helmet and visor setup along with Sean Bradley's ODST Kit. I fell in love with a piece of concept fan art from Joshua Davies that features a standard ODST + some accessories, and will be using elements from the imagery as part of the finalized build.
OLD: NEW:
There are elements I aim to tweak, add, fine tune the colors and whatever else, but I am happy to share my progress in the next posts as I like to keep intros pretty simple and concise. This is going to be exciting.
