New member, first build (basic ODST)

[BrightestDayACX]

I was pointed to the Sean Bradley kit after inquiring on someone's DragonCon photos from last year. Helmet is 3rd party, M7S is resin printed. Took about 2.5 months.

dude, your suit looks really good with the scarf, really covers up the no shoulder armor or rig issue, you should post some more pictures here as you continue to update it. (get your posts up my guy)

What scarf are you referring to?

You look like an absolute unit with that suit on! Very well done! Gotta love the white and green color scheme too. If I were to offer one bit of feedback, you might want to look into chroming your visor a bit more as it's still pretty see-through. That being said, it looks great either way, and you can always pass it off as your visor being unpolarized. Great job!

Looks good! Currently working on a Sean Bradley ODST kit myself. If you wouldn't mind, would you be able to post pictures of how you did your knee to shin pieces? I think I may have cut my plastic too short and I'm having a hard time seeing the proper placement through the instructions provided.

So the helmet is just the xcoser helmet, I put green time film on the outside as it comes completely clear. I may either get a new visor to have a chromed option to swap out, or do a whole new helmet from scratch.

I can certainly take those for you, I wound up cutting too much off myself and rather than riveting them, I tacked them in place with glue and did a multi-ply bridge piece of fiberglass between the knee and shin.

Thanks for the pictures and information man! Looks good, I’m thinking I’ll do something along the line of that as well. I’ve only dipped my toe in fiberglass, resin and bondo this last month due to getting this kit. Very new and so I’ll see if I end up using that or maybe a thin layer of plastic to do the same job. Although I suppose I’d have to worry about that breaking too.

I do love the color scheme too.

When I did the elbow to forearm, I ended up making a Z bracket out of plastic and riveting it to each half, because there was no flex in the part after fiberlgassing.
Do what you feel comfortable with.
