Hey 405th! This is Murf, I've been a member of the Midwest Regiment since november of last year and its been a long time coming but i am finally starting building my armor for this november in Youmacon in Detroit. I have had a couple ideas floating around in my head for a while on what it is I wanted to build, since my armor I built last year was a total bust. I think what I am going to be building is an ODST variant based off of a few bits of concept art and some ideas I've had. Basically what I am thinking was an experimental odst armor type similar to the recon ODST stuff dare wore, but with a more in-between look of regular ODST with more recon parts added on almost experimental. Like an ONI specialist feel or something of the like...
Something along the lines of this: and this: these are just a couple rough sketches of some ideas
I want it to look like it had a base of an ODST helmet, but had an upgraded visor and some extra parts like possible long range goggles and the commander com box like the one in Reach.
Ive started building the pep file of the ODST helmet that rundown provided in the file archive (thanks it looks great!) and after i get it finished I'm going to apply a light coat of resin and begin chopping and modifying areas of the helmet to fit the style i want to create.
Here is my progress so far with the pep:
I'll keep this updated as i make more progress but for now feel free to tell me what you think!
