Just wanted to start off with saying thank you to everyone on here for the hard work and wealth of knowledge put into this place.

My WIP ODST foam build based off of Hugh Holders files and some help from many others in using their builds pictures for reference

This is just a start of what i have made so far, its not much due to time constraints from my job but i hope you all enjoy and comments and advice are always welcome

Here is one of my forearms

shoulder base

belt buckle

and the front and side hip plates

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures as they are taken with my phone,Hope you enjoy!!

Looks great so far! Im also doing my ODST builds mainly out of foam. Are you planning on making your helmet from foam as well? because Id definitely suggest doing that with pepakura. Its tough to do that sort of piece from foam. However, all the other ODST armor pieces are very foam-compatible (as youve probably figured out already.) If you need any help, id be glad to assist.

Thanks, i had planned on doing the helmet with pepakura and such, just thought i would save it till last since it is the hardest part. but i will keep you in mind in i hit a snag, TY again

Just another quick update, made some shoulders from Hughs design but not so sure on the look, gunna look into Kirrou's design and see if it better or easy to foam it

Also been doing some practice on pepping on this lil gem i found by bevbor on the costuming wiki

it was alot of fun to put together and looks awesome too

Another small update here, I was gunn use the shoulders i posted earlier but wasnt satisfied with them so i decided to try Kirrou's design and fell in love with them

Also picked up these Oakley pilot gloves knockoffs that i will be using for around 20 bucks

Hope y'all enjoy
