Update time: base colours are done on all the armour. Little sample below.
Will be moving on to painting camo pattern on thighs and bracers and then blackwash to darken the grey a notch. Then weathering after that.
Also, I have now a bucket. I had commissioned a 3d printed one. I have already assembled it and will begin sanding... At some point.

Visor is dyed and chromed. My first one cracked cuz I was a little carless with it.
I applied Alclad II Lacquer with an airbrush on the inside of the visor.
ODST armour is now con ready.
I still plan on submitting this suit for Deployment. In order to do that, decals are needed, flash bangs (assembled) need paint and the rucksack needs to be made.

It's done! For now.
Wore it to FanExpo Toronto.
2nd pic has been edited a bit by the photographer who took it.
Version 2 of my ODST armour rebuild came out a lot better than I expected.
Will take a break from it for a bit and then come back to it to get it ready for Deployment.

Yeah I just "finished" my odst costume (gen 4 ish), and all except the helmet (which i shamelessly got off of etsy) just doesn't work or looks iffy. Unfortunately that's what I get when I work with mostly cardboard.

Alright. Bring this thread back to life... again. I have begun to work on the rucksack. Thank you ODCA for the unfold.
I did something a little different this time. I made a cardboard version first before I proceeded with foam.
I was pleased with it so I went ahead and started foamsmithing.
It's been slow going. I have been under the weather recently so I haven't had much of a chance to work on it. I am also taking my time on it to make to the best of my abilities.
More to come.

Another long overdue update post photo dump. So... Rucksack weathering, is done. Also rucksack attachment method? MAGNETS!! A total of 16rare earth magnets were used. 8 on the inside of the body armour and 8 on the rucksack. The hold is very good. It survived all the nudging and shoving at FanExpo Toronto this year.
One thing I realised... I forgot the buckles that are on the ruck. Buggers. Those will have to be added later down the road. Flashbangs have been attached to hip plates. I made a little rig that they velcro to.

It's pretty simple honestly.
Useing a photo of the Rookie, I just build up layers. Start off with a black wash. Apply watered down black paint and dab off areas that don't need to be too dark. When dry repeat to make some areas look darker.
After that move to a brown wash to dirty it up a bit. Same process as the black wash. Apply wash and dab off.
Last step is a dry brush with a light grey to get a scratched/scuffed up look.
