My first odst

[Husky1988]

So this is my first odst build following dft's videos has taken about 2 months of spare time with one of my lovely friends helping me with all the painting trying to get ready for the melbourne comic con on the 1st of july!

Nicely done. What are those side pieces on the hips? I don't recall seeing those on the videos.....unless I missed one.

 

[Husky1988]

Side parts and crotch i just made because the areas are bare n felt like i needed to fill them lol

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Gotcha. Made my daughter the same DFT version (ODSK actually) and plan to make my son one as well but want to use the other ODST shins, ab and hip plates.Paint work is great....and I like the battle damage. You are missing some identification or logo on your suit.....not 100% necessary but it does fit the genre.

 

[Husky1988]

Yeah time restraints have limited wat we prioritised my next build will hopfully be alot better!

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Well regardless.....It look very cool. Good job dude.

Nice job man. Love the weathering. It kinda reminds me of Ironman Mk 1 suit.

 

[Husky1988]

The helmet got more attention then the rest just need to do the visor n attach a few straps here n there n shes all done

 

[Dirtdives2424]

If I may make a suggestion: Along the bottom edge of the helmet, add an inch or so strip of foam angled inward to "round" it off a bit. The DFT helmet is more bucket like than helmet like. This will also conceal more of the neckline if exposed.

 

[Husky1988]

Already thought of that and done it! It really helped finish off the look but really appreciate the feed back!

 

[Husky1988]

Almost at the finish line ppl

 

[Husky1988]

The ability to sit in full costume is great

Looks good man. Says your first odst? So is this your first build?

 

[Husky1988]

Yup very first build my wife brought me a ticket to Melbourne comic con about two months ago so been working on it in my spare time

 

[Husky1988]

Some more progress shots i had taken

 

[SI3RRA 117]

Awesome, your foam work is very clean . ODST armor seems to be al the rage lately. It sure to be a hit at the convention

 

[Husky1988]

Hopfully theres a few 405ths there n get some pics with some ppl that know wat they r doing lol

Someone who actually finished their suit multiple days before a convention?? *tips hat to you sir. Very nice first suit and great time management. I'm sure you'll have a good time at the con. Very jealous.

Nicely done. Really like the battle damage on the chest plate.
