Good evening,
I have not posted anything on here in what feels like years. Here is a look at my most recent ODST. Since my last suit, everything was remade but, the chest armor, shoulder, and forearms. All parts are made of foam, the shoulders and forearms are 3d printed, and the chest armor is paper.
I found that using a matt finish on the armor has better looks than semi-gloss or any other. It was my first time not using plastic dip but rather modpogs. I believe this was a better use as it feels more flexible and secure. I also have stopped using black paint. Instead, I use a paint called pavement by Apple Barrel. This paint is nearly black, but still allows me to use a black wash and highlight details. I also recommend using dark brown oil paint, as it works and looks like mud. These methods I believe have made my suit look better than past suits.
As always let me know your thoughts!
