ODST WIP

This gives me flashbacks to all the sanding I’ve had to do on 3d prints

Looking forward to seeing your rucksack finished. I haven’t bitten the bullet to start printing one myself.

Thanks. I just got my first printer for Christmas so it’s been running steadily for at least the past month. Things would get sanded faster if I wasn’t lazy about it lol.

Fixed the scaling to lore accurate on the socom. Also got it assembled and primed. Up next is wet sanding some rough areas.

Progress on the rucksack (From The Brink Studios): all parts are printed, sanded, primed, and base coated. Next up is primary color, weathering, and adding the magnets. Need to make the hinges from leather and the foam pieces that sit in the top of the side boxes.

Started printing the next project…the SMG from Oddworks. First piece off the printer. The grey on the piece was from the paint that I couldn’t get off my hand earlier.

Huh... leather hinges... I've never thought about doing that. Let me know how that turns out!

I had messeged him when I couldn’t find the hinge size he said when I was ordering supplies. He had said that people had done leather for the hinges, so we shall see.

Got parts from yesterday clear coated before adding some liquid masking for weathering and top coat.

The m9 frags, the socom, and the combat knife are now wet sanded. It was too windy to paint for majority of the week. Just have to rinse everything and let it dry out to get it them painted this week. Still have to liquid ask the boots, rucksack, and calves before I paint them.

SMG is still printing. Hardware ordered.

 

[wildkat315]

Got one of the shin plates sanded and ready to prime and realized that I need to reprint the other one. Frag tops, knife, and pistol are at least painted on one side.

 

[wildkat315]

Frag bodies base colored and 1 shin plate primed. I need to reprint the other shin plate.

Spent this evening painting some of the small details. Had to fill in spots on the drag that the spray paint missed. Buckle is a detail on the rucksack. Ammo for the Socom.

 

[wildkat315]

Ended up hyper fixating tonight after painting. Got the SMG mostly assembled. Still have to add the magnets before I can attach the fore grip. Shoulder reset is printing and still have to print the silencer.

 

[wildkat315]

Smg is assembled (minus silencer) and functional. Grenades have been dark washed to start weathering. Used black to dark wash the bodies and burnt sienna (brown) for the heads. Next up is to dry brush some highlights and dark wash again afterwards.

 

[wildkat315]

Got the rucksack and several armor pieces masked off and painted. Tomorrow I’ll peel off the liquid masking. Replacement shin is printing now and should finish up tonight. Need to make leather hinges for the rucksack, make the foam pieces for the side boxes, and strap it up.

 

[wildkat315]

Got the knife, pistol, and grenades done last night. Armor pieces and rucksack got the liquid masking treatment and painted.

Ran everything at Lvl Up Expo in Las Vegas this past weekend. Rigging held up well. Now to build the sheath for the knife and finish the frags.

I’m the short ODST with the teal accents.
