Upgrading my ODST suit

[Henry5812]

Over 3 years I have been improving my suit little by little, changing parts, learning to use plastidip and weathering, but it was always minimal stuff, but now I am trying to make a Mirage IIC core armor, so far, I only have the forearms and legs parts, I also got a Boomco M6C socom and modified it to shoot nerf darts, as well as modified a Boomco SMG M20 to be a gel blaster.

I plan on my spartan iii being an ex ODST so I will continue to use that helmet.

what I want

what I have

progress so far of the rest of the Mirage IIc parts I think I'll also be redoing the thighs I think they end up being a bit small.


this is how the blasters are looking

Here's the update.

First I kind of messed up the arms because I made them narrower at the part closest to the elbow but I fixed them now.
(I also made the elbow pads, nothing to add).

I re made the legs out of thicker eva foam and more faithful to the way they are in the game unlike the first ones I made which were thinner and a bit weird.

Finally I made the protections for the back and the elbow and joined everything together with spring and belcro tape.

I'm still missing the protections on the sides to finish the lower part of the armour but I'm liking how it's coming out. I'm very excited about this armour.

Update time!!!
Here's my end of the year update on my spi mirage IIc odst armor

Now the lower parts are all painted and kind of weathered

Now I'm starting to make some other attachments for the torso, right now I just finished the odst plate I think is the infinite one, still to be detail up.
I was previously using the rakshasa one but I think the regular plate fits better the mirage core.

Also I remade the a plates that the odsts wear, my previous ones were just magazines pouches with the geometry on top.
Now I give it a try to make them how they appear on the games

Arms and shoulders are also painted

And lastly I started to do the torso parts, sadly I'm still afraid of messing this up so I made myself to stop here for the time being.

I'm excited on how my stuff is coming up together slowly.

I hope to everyone a happy holidays, stay strong, stay positive, see you next year soldiers.
