What the heck?! This post is identical to your last seven posts. Are you trying to pad your post count?

Where are the regular shoulders? I made the two and one of them was scaled too small, but when I came to download it again (it was accidentally deleted) and I can't find it now. It's not in the big pack thing for the upper body plates, and wherever I look I either can't find it and when I do, it's not the original. Where is it?

Ok guys, I know I've been slacking off on modeling lately, lol, so I decided to do a few updates on the earlier models now that more references on the armor are available. I know that updating models is a pain in the butt for unfolders, but it's all in the name of accuracy, right? Anyway, I noticed that a lot of recent ODST builds still use the WETA chestplate(s), which is fine, and I thought that maybe it's because mine is a little too Halo 3 accurate and less Halo 3: ODST accurate, so I took a render posted by MrOreo on like page 5 of the thread and tweaked it a bit:
Modeling 1:
Modeling 2:
Pepakura:
And finally, the new one (on top) compared to the old one (on bottom):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I then editted the center equiptment plate. It didn't really need much. I just scaled it to be a bit wider, etc. Just tiny little things. I don't know if it's work re-unfolding, but at least it would make it a little more accurate in proportion:
Comparison of the new model (left, on the picture) with the old (right):
In Pepakura:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, I almost completely redid the belt plate, and it looks a lot more like 1ManBatallion's version now. The area was a little fuzzy in Bungie's render, so it might be a little unacurate. I hope not. I have no idea how the original model was so completely-un-game-accurate. Anyway, here it is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I post the download link, please tell me which of these are worth a new unfold
Hope you like these,
Shade
EDIT: Also, I added the *newer* crotch plate unfold by Harding to the chest/arm armor .zip file, and added a new screenshot for it ...

If it's game-accurate, I guess it's okay. Go with the newer ones. Just don't be swayed by those who bring up the live-action version comparison.

Hey Ral! Glad to see you posting here!
Sorry, but I'm wondering what you mean by that. Hehe, I'm stupid, sorry.
I'd also love to see a new chestplate unfold, but especially the belt plate unfold. The old one on the first post just looks to ridiculously innacurate now and I'm embarrased to keep it there. I'd love to replace the link soon, lol.

Ever since the release of the LA trailer, a few have added comments in this thread that a few features on the ODST should be this and that. We should be stick to something close to the game. Besides, there's another thread that does something close to the trailer.

Hey here are just a couple things i noticed about the chest plate.
Its nothing major it just bugs me.
I think the "wings" need to be a bit longer, the indent on the bottom edge of the "wing" is missing, the black bar on the inside of the "wing" is slightly to long, and the top should be a little straighter.
to many quotation marks? lol
