Do you have a link to that vest? I figured it was on amazon. I love the side open part of it.

Still working on the ODST Kit. Primer is going down on some parts and if you want a clean finish on your paint, dont forget to wet sand

Been slowly working at this thing. Finally found a base color and secondary color ai really like. Not a big fan of bright colors on something thats supose to be tactical / military.
Also as a side project to the main armor. Ive been finally working on my nerdforge Haunted Helmet Cast.

A lot of progress has been made. Working on the belt area and the center ab piece. Layed down some dirt and grime today. Crushed up some pastels and brushed on the dust with a makeup brush. Really sticks to that canvas tactical material.

Almost done with the torso, raised the pouches and center ab plate to meet with the chest armor. Mid section got some love today. And then on to the legs here soon ! Base will be complete hopefully by summers end and I will continue to add details working inside until it is 100% complete.

Oh yes. Its been awesome so far. Love how it is looking !
Wow. I just got my kit the other day, and Im doing a bit of research before I go to town on mine. What I had envisioned in my head is almost exactly what youre doing here, its absolutely brilliant. This is really some top tier stuff, and has definitely inspired what Ill be doing with my kit. Keep up the great work, and I cant wait to see this build finished!
EDIT- Also, what paint colors are you using? Its literally perfect.

This should be the final photo before the finished product photos I take ! Still have to do the shoulders and forearms. Also add some small details to spice things up !

So i had a buddy 3D print some landfall shoulders for me. Ive worked with Prints before but trying to take the supports off of this was a pain !
After grinding away with a dreal tool as best as I could we were left with this.
Now i started to smooth it out with the dremel as well. Getting rid of those harsh bumps and melting it down as best as I could. Then taking sandpaper and smoothing the print in other ares. I took some UV Resin and coated each piece. Sanded some more.
Tomorrow we will use some filler primer then coat it with a mixture of Bondo + Acetone. If it still has little imperfections i dont like then i will touch up in the areas with more bondo.

Loving the progress and the use of different shoulders. Looks awesome man. Also just started trimming my ODST kit tonight. Very excited to get it to a wearable state. I’ll be using your idea of those pouches on the front rather than the vacuum formed pieces. Looks more natural and adds the ability to store stuff like phones or cards if needed.
Great job again and can’t wait to see the progress continue.

This looks incredible!! I really like what you've managed to achieve with the paint. Wouldn't be surprised to see that on a movie set.
Have you given your ODST a backstory? Designated name? What kind of weapons are you going to rock with?
I'm so excited to see this fully fleshed out. Great stuff
