1st Build ODST WIP

[Newbsters]

I’ve lost 40lbs since last year so I’ve had to retailor my undersuit and buy new pants. Also had to completely redo the belt rig but that’ll be in another update.

Also scratch built the boot armor from kydex. I got the accurate clips printed just haven’t attached them yet. Liners and boots themselves need to be weathered too

Another looong update laddies. This time the plate carrier which is another huge part of this build. The main material is 4-5oz leather, the ab section is cotton twill with batting to give it some dimension. I con crunch this and there’s few missing details and pieces that need to be redone. I used the duct tape mannequin
method to get the initial template. I made this entire thing in 10 days.

The top strap with the hole in it needs to be remade. It’s too skinny compared to the reference. This hole will eventually be where my radio pack will mount

The fabric abdominal section is the biggest thing that needs to be redone. I made it in 3 hours and it lacks a lot of detail I want. It uses zippers on the top and sides so it can be completely removed for washing and replacing. Side zippers are also how it opens along with velcro and the chest clips.

Another point that needs to be upgraded. I didn’t have time to make the spinal armor or the little detail “hump” that’s right above the spinal armor.
