Looking forward to your progress pictures

Here is my first attempt at the helmet that i did earlier today, not happy with how it turned out so i will probably just retry it later down the line.

Today I made the thigh plates and started work on the main vest and chest plate loving how it sits on my leg

 

[Koentju2]

Looking quite good if you ask me. How do you plan to rig it up?

Planning on strapping the thigh plates to my belt maybe?

Thanks Delta!

Hey man, I did the same thigh plates for my odst suit that's nearly done and I did 2 horizontal straps across under/through the side rectangles and one coming down from my belt. The belt strap holds it in place and the 2 horizontal straps keep it to my leg and stop it from flopping around. I also glued the main plate upside-down by mistake . Only realised after I base coated it grey. If it gelps here are some pics of them.
Right leg with gun

Right leg no gun

Mot been posting as I've been tackling the biggest piece of the armour, looks a little rough but im happy with how it turned out.
might shave in the straps over the shoulders a little so i can move easier XD

 

[Wendi82]

Also been playing with the idea of a hood, lemme know what yous think?

 

[N8TEBB]

hmmm interesting... I'd have to see what it looks like all painted and stuff to get a better idea for how that hood will look, but I think it's a cool idea!
