Jesn223 ODST ARMOR

[Jesn223]

J223 Preparing for drop sir
First i want to say tanks and say that im not a english speaker person (at least is not my mother language) thats way my spealing sucks so bad, after knowing that please come and see my advance.

im using papekura designer and doing all the work whit normal paper, i wana know if theres a way i can make the paper model into a resistant material, im thinking about using paste to cover it and make it harder and cooler :cool well whiout more talking here it is, my paper odst rigth gaunlet i do it in only one day and was my fist work.

here it is going geting shape looking good

The one that say "The details are the important part" missed to say "and are hellish hard to do" that part was one of the harder, while more tiny more dificult

at least is finished, i tink i scaled it worg cause it is a litlle big for my arm ( or do i need get to gym cause my arms are to thin for my heigth)

lookin good

looks good so far man but if i may say you might wanna try using 110lb cardstock its not expensive and it is thicker than normal paper and prints just like normal paper.
and for makeing your project harder look into using fiberglass resin and bondo there are alot of videos and and forms on this sight just look in the stickies. hope this helps you out some

Looks good, better then my first pep I made. Fiber glass resin is a good way to harden up models.

 

[Jesn223]

i can get fiber glass very easy, i think i will use that, but the question is: how ???, i just coat it, or it come like paper so i print it???, and yeah i was thining on using the cardstock, but is sunday so there was any Stationery open i just used the paper i got on home, thx for the coments

 

[Doctor Napkin]

With fiberglass, you buy fiberglass cloth and coat it with resin and apply it to the inside of your pepakura piece. This should be done after you apply resin to the piece in the inside and outside.

nice i just read what you say on the strengning method post very usesfull, thx and if you have a tutorial or something like that ill be grace full

Looking good!

I am working on a ODST as well
you should take a look at HUGH HOLDER and KIRROU
they both make very nice ODST pep files

good luck with your armor!

 

[Jesn223]

im using weta team files, arent that the better ones ?
also im using this http://www.405th.com/showthread.php...rmour-Tutorial-V.2?highlight=scaling+tutorial
for scaling it im barely 5,9, so i addes 5 cm to that and it become to big ill make the then again on paper whit out the details until i get the right size and then will move forward to the whole body set and fiber glass stuff

 

[Bram76]

well first things first, almost all the models that are on the forum are great
but the ones from HUGH & KIRROU are very realistic to the game,
I created every piece from KIRROU he has made so far and the are pretty simple to glue together
but this is just my opinion so if you wanna stick with the Weta thats good!

good luck with the build of your armor!

Woah Jessn. If you're using regular printer paper, it's got a VERY high probability to warp. If you're going to continue using that type of paper, tread VERY lightly with the resin stage.

 

[Jesn223]

na that was a test one, i alredy got the cardstock (regular one not sure is the 110g) but will do one more of paper cause the first one was to big pr my arm was to tiny

Bram76 i think ill use hug file too they are awesome thak you very much

 

[Jesn223]

Using Hug's ODST files

well i make use of dram advice and star all over using hug's files but i see it is too big (again) i wana now if when i aply the fiber glass it will fit me better or must i star again usging a minor scale

there you see the gaunlet

there you see my arm on the gaunlet

there you can see all the free space on the gaunlet whit my arm on it

so i think ill have to redo all again so im going to sleep now, later will satr agin uding a minor scale

Give the Extreme's thread a look.... Has worked well for me....

This has REALLY helped me scale out my pieces consistently and get good results.
Did my helmet and shoulders and shins using this method....
