ODST MK II

[OTSDerpy]

Friends! Cohorts! I have good news, I have begun process of the "MK II." So far I have completed the torso piece of a file from vidofnir234 on the Halo 4 pack. My process so far. Pepakura has been very helpful than the last build, though that doesn't mean I wont use the same techniques from time to time.

The shoulder pads so far.

 

[JudgementDay]

Looks great!

Looking forward to seeing the final product and to see how you run with it.
What colour scheme you thinking of rolling with? Not 100% certain on what i want for my ODST yet haha

Nice work though man

Shoulders just got done! Did one last night until 12:30am, and just got done with the other one. Applied some Dap to sand down and make it smooth.

It's going to be the color scheme of Grey and Yellow.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Forearms are done, well, to be honest, they were done a few months ago, I just added the dap.

It's coming along nicely. Great job ACBrotherhood!!

I want your shoulders, they look amazing!

While the Mk I took me about 2 months, the Mk II took me only 2 days to completely build the helmet. Good progress so far, and when I cut out the visor template from the printing, it matched! so that's good news! Something the Mk I wasn't able to do. I had to MAKE a template for the visor.

This process took me about 3 hours yesterday to make, and I was over 1/4 done.

This took me around 4 more hours to make, and it's smaller compared to my Mk I helmet, but that's because the visor isn't elongated and is correctly fitted.

Very nice job on the Mk 2 helmet!

 

[Harri51]

bravo trooper!

 

[OTSDerpy]

Just got done with the Thighs after starting it this afternoon. Will add more detail in the future.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Just got done covering the helmet with the first layer of caulk, then I'll sand it for smoothness when it dries.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Just got the helmet culked and painted grey.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Here's the photo of the helmet painted. Though there was some bleeding from the tape, but I'll reprint the area to cover it. Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, got busy moving into the new place.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Got the helmet all weathered now with chrome and white highlights. The white highlights should really bring them out in photo shoots.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Just got the finishing touches done on the helmet. "ODST MK II" helmet is complete. I have made some great progress since my last helmet. But I'm going to take a break on the ODST to work on another project that's gotta be done before February. But I'll pickup and continue once the other project is done. ^^

 

[OTSDerpy]

So I continued a bit with the gauntlets, all I need to do is prim and paint them. Even then I'm still gonna add something as a finishing touch, like reflective tape.

 

[OTSDerpy]

Painted and weathered. Added some reflective tape for more effect. Looked goofy until I weathered it, then it looked awesom.

I like your progress so far, especially the helmet and the chestpiece. I just have to quick questions: What did you use to seal the foam because i am using PlastiDip and on my old pieces it was looking kinda bad (maybe because i just used one coat of PlastiDip) and how did you manage to get that ODST visor so well done, because after i finished my Scout Helmet from Reach i maybe want to start building an ODST helmet as some sort of alternative helmet but i have no idea how to do that visor so any help or advice would be very apreciated.
