As I said in my last update, I wasn't feeling the camo pattern I painted on. For now I am going with a two tone paint scheme. Latter down the road I may try again with the camo. We will see.

Shins/greaves are also done. Have I ever mentioned that masking off areas is annoying? I know the amount of masking is minimal compared to some of you guys out there. But still... It's a pain.

Also I decided to permanently attach the abdominal plates to the chest. Originally it was with velcro but, I found it too wobbly. As well applied first coat of FlexiPaint to seal and prime.
Once that's done it's weathering and black wash.
I also need to get a new BDU. I have a CADPAT that I have used for airsoft but, green doesnt go well with the paint colours on the armour.
 
Photo dump time. Dry brush and black wash was done to dirty up the armour. Strapping and snapping were added and another fitting was done.

I also got some helmet padding to make my bucket fit a little more snug.

BTW... Folks... Don't wear jogging pants when test fitting armour.... It just gives you saggy butt. It looks like I just soiled myself.... Sigh.....

I am deeply impressed by your work here, man. Fantastic job! I love the paint job and the padding in your helmet.

Overall a great build. Too bad you don't have a drop pod to jump around in!
 
What a change that wash had on it! This is bloody awesome work! How much is left for you to finish??
There's not too much left. Need to add straps to the shoulders to help keep them from sliding down. I might grab a couple of handfuls of actual dirt and rub it all over the parts to add to the weathering. As well I need to use a different pair of boots. The ones I used in the photos are my airsoft boots. They come up a little high and I find it difficult to put them on and tie up the laces. Will have to wear my work boots instead.
 
Last year's Toronto Fan Expo had a full scale (I think) ODST pod made out of Mega Bloks at the Mega Construx booth. Sadly it was their Halo 5 version not the infinitely times better classic pod.

They even let you hold a brick built BR for photos :eek:
I saw that display as well. I have a shot of my son holding the brick BR too. :)
