Have you thought about weathering it? It looks great. straight off the assembly line........but that just means no combat experience....or you just got a new set of fatigues. It just looks too......neat. and perhaps dome dirt on the fingers. They also look too clean for an ODST in the middle of combat.

Mesh if you're looking for some pose ideas you can always do what I did and dig through the desktop background folder and concept art books. I showed those images to my photographer and she just went wild with it, if you're after a bit of inspiration she's Hanamaru Photography on Facebook and there's a few ODST shots uploaded.

Hey all! Double update here - Two cons have passed since my last update, the first one was the major local con, Showmasters Film and Comic Con Cardiff!
I didn't get many photos
Here are the ones I did get, I trooped with an ODST I made in 5 days!
The second con was a independent con called Geekedfest (Swansea)
Between the two cons, I changed the undersuit and added a few extra colour splashes

How the hell do you make a 5 day ODST???? I know you go to school but even still.......that is a hell of a lot of work for just 5 days. You working on getting on to Cosplay Melee or something? Have to cut it down to 3 days though. Great job. One thing I notice.....not sure but it looks like your weapon is weathered a bit.....but your suit looks right out of the box new.....

I'm not actually in school ;P
My main problem with the armour is the fabric coating, it means I can't dry brush the edges for that weared down effect, half because there are no sharp edges, and half because it wont look good with the fabric. If you notice, on some places I've taken a flame to it to burn holes, but other than that I'm stumped on what I can do to weather the armour

Paint...... dry brush browns and whites.....even a touch of black here and there.....try tearing/fraying some of the edges of the armor. Elbow and knees for instance.......So not in school......work? You look kind of young that is why I said school. Even still......5 days to build a suit is wicked!!

At the time of making that armour, I was unemployed
I had just been dismissed from my major job - I'm now picking up work where I can however

When in doubt, cheapo paints or actually going out and beating the daylights out of your fabric will help weather it. Go down to a beach or gravel pit and run it through coarse grit and get scuffs and dust into it. Go for a run with the boots through the mud. Did anyone say fire? Singe some edges to brown them up.
Just go crazy and have some fun.
I'm looking forward to this part of my WIP NCR Ranger for the duster. Weathering is my jam.

Just to clarify,
This is the suit I made in 5 days
PaiganBoi, the visor for that suit was brought from icon props on Etsy, it's a simple film sheet that I cut into Andrew DFT's Visor template
The visor for MY helmet however, (Helmet was modeled by the talented Dutch Props, 3d Printed by the also talented Kaween) was made by Johnson Arms Props on Facebook

That is one cool build. The camo look really works with what you've put together.
