I have just started on painting the white accents on the armor pieces. After this, I just need to put on/wipe off the excess black paint, put on some silver to show some battle damage, maybe by some brown for added color, maybe some yellow too, clear coat it and then I'm done with the painting.

I recently did a build using the DFT Templates, and found that the sides of the Torso needed to be strengthened slightly. All I did to add a bit of structure to it was put a solid piece along the outside curved generally to the side of my body, and then on the inside along all the seems I took the edge pieces that come on the puzzle mat cut off the puzzle pieces and used them as long braces gluing them along either side to get a little bit of extra support.

So my metallic visor came in and instead of seeing if the templates fit with the helmet, I cut-out the material in the same design as the template an found out that the templates are smaller than the helmet, despite being cut from the same dimension file-size. I already ordered another pair and should be here within the week.

Well even though it doesn't fit right, you can tell that the metallic visor will look cool on it. I don't think I've seen a metallic visor on an odst helmet up until now besides that awful hex patterned one Johnson Arms used on the helljumper he painted.

It's from a flat sheet of silver material that I cut out from the template. So the template is small, but it's within the same dimensional range as the helmet when I first print it off, so there might have been some warpage.

Bad news: once when the template had been completed, I cut the material to match the template only that they weren't big enough. so I had to fold the template in half, which was luckily symmetrical, cut it that way......but I cut the the material in one way and forgot to flip the template over, resulting me in TWO of the same sides. Now I have to wait another week before 3 more of the same materials come by again.
On another note, because the gauntlets were so small that I would barely have enough space to fit my own arm, let alone one thats covered in cloth, I have resulted in creating new gauntlets; this time with the templates of "Halo: Landfall." Yeah they're blocky, but I'll find a way to make it more workable. I'll keep you guys posted as the progress continues.
