My ODST armor (WIP)

[hollywood]

I agree with Kirrou, a good mouse sander is THE best tool for this kind of work. Still, great progress man. That color pattern is killer. I'd love to see it out in daylight.

awesome job man, agree with kirrou, maybe when your all done, and don't have that much pressure, you could work on sanding the car filler down so it looks smooth. great work tho, really good and also, for the right plate, the raised surface is like, where a strap should be, for my right plate, i jus got some old skate pads (in case u don't understand cus of the english, protective padding used when skating...) cut off the straps on those, and stick them down to the raised surface, and it makes it look like it's got a strap running down, check out my right plate in my odst armor thread if you don't know what i'm talking about. :/ well done dude

Yes, you're right, my sanding is... not the paradise ^^. When I'll have the time, I think I'll sand it
Neekatron, thanks for your advice !

So just a little pic today, 'cause I haven't the time to post more (finally, my competition is for the 4th Oo!). More details and pieces the next time

I just finish to paint all the top of the armor (helmet, shoulders, forearms, chest plate, stomach plates, belt and cockle)
Also, I finished yesterday to pep the 2 thighes and the right shin and knee. Pics will come soon

Not at all; I draw it ^^. I printed the real symbol and copied it on the chest
