My ODST armor has a lot of "battle damage". XD
I'm not the best foam worker.

LOL, gotta do what you've gotta do

This is a really nice build! Inspiring me to start my own foam armour, quick question, what tool did you use for the battle damage??

Thanks! Used my hot knife. When I get home tonight I can grab a pic of the attachments I used if ya like.

 

[rokusho109]

That would be awesome

That would be awesome

Here ya go man, sorry it took so long. Used the disc-shaped attachment for the majority, and the shading tool for the smaller details- like the drip.

A better pic of the round tool here: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/39673-First-time-builder-MK7-Build-Journal-(Pics)/page8

A couple small progress pics. Hopefully make better progress tomorrow.

I used a cursive writing tip for my damage. It looks good for making large dents.

I wish my costume was half as detailed as yours. Yours is perfect.

It's far from perfect, but thanks man! What does the cursive tip look like?

Keep those updates coming! I don't think I'm the only one that looks forward to what else you've got in store with this!

Your build is looking nice and I might have to use your stuff as reference since I just got a commission for this suit, and I can not find a model that is accurate enough and has all the detail I need.

I'm going to assume that you scratch built everything?

Super clean! Nice work! Using regular floor mat foam?

Thanks! Sorry the updates are few and far between these days.

Yep, top to bottom. Sorry I don't have more to show. Being my first attempt at this, I'm a bit slow. :/

Thanks! And yes, standard stuff from Lowe's, Harbor Freight, and Michael's.

Just SO far behind on this. Sorry peeps, life's been crazy. Should have some progress up sooner than later.
