ODST Veronica Dare Foam Freebuild

Update time.

It has been way to long since I have posted anything, so her are a lot of pics of what we have done.

The shins Kusak made the base for me, that he posted earlier in the thread. Here I have added a foamy layer over it to get all the details. One is just the foamies, the other is plasti dipped.











Here are the thigh plates. I still have to do the inner thigh peices.








Here is my new breast plate.




we also have the hip plates done, and I have one bracer done to date.
Here is the other bracer blocked out on foam.



On another note, I have never seen anyone else attempt this, so I am going to show it off. I get sever migraines, and due to that fact I cannot use most of the chemicals needed for pepakura. So.... I tried something new. Or at least new to me, and that I haven't seen anyone else do. Kusak did the base pepa, then rondoed the inside for added strength, and then I am attempting to skim the helmet in foamies for smoothing, and detail. So far.. I am liking how it is turning out. IT does not add a lot of weight.







Here is me posing with breastplate, and helmet.

Well, the helmet is finished, and painted. Here is what it looks like

I have my breastplate, and ab plate in first stage of lacquer. I have the backpack in build stage. I have forearms, shins, thighs, hip plates all glued, and ready to be seal-coated. The beltbuckle, butt and groin plates are all that are left to be manufactured. I will get a picture soon of me modeling all completed parts.

Here are some more pics. The first thre here are one of my bracers pre-seal laqure and pre-paint.




Next is my finished breast plate.







Now my compleated Dare Ab plate.





Now is something I am very proud of. It is Dare's backpack. I even made it so it is a functioning backpack. It closes with magnetic snaps. It took a lot of fiddeling with it to get the snaps to work.







I still have to seal it all up, and then paint it.

Last pic I have is the ab plate, and the breast together.
