Hey all,
I finally finished my first build!
please ignore the mess, I'm still cleaning up from my build process. These pics were also taken post comic-con, so my armor is pretty beat up. Most of the armor is from the H3 ODST foam files, with the helmet being a modified version of the HerosWorkshop version, and the chestpiece and thighplates being from AndrewDFT's build guide. The armor originally started as an H3 ODST but gradually shifted to being a reach ODST after some time. The colors are based on my Reach Spartan. I started this build about 2 weeks ago and barely got it finished in time for the photoshoot event. There was a lot of stuff I had to skip to make it on time, including the torso armor pieces, butt pad, kneepads, boots, rucksack, and DMR. I also couldn't properly prime, paint, coat, weather, or detail most of the armor. The helmet is definitely the piece I spent the most time on and the one I'm the most proud of.
I know the visor looks really messy, but I only had one plastic sheet and didn't have time to order another one or a custom visor anywhere online. Overall, I think it came out ok, but I know it can definitely be better. I want to work on it some more in the future, but I'm leaving for college in Virginia in a month and can't bring it with me. Let me know what you think! thanks
