bobbio555's ODST WIP: 2nd Attempt (Pic heavy)

[bobbio555]

Hello all, it is I, bobbio555. You may remember my WIP from about a year ago, wherein I completely messed everything up and gave up.
None of that this time around, I assure you.
Now to the progress. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Wait...Okay, for some reason, some of the pics are huge, and some normal. Oh well.


Pep finished


This one... Gleh...I'm not proud of it. At this point, I'd begun to paint it, to see what it'd look like, and ended up leaving it in my backpack, at which point the top shifted slightly, killing it's near perfect symmetry. I debated whether to restart or not, and decided for now, I'd keep going with what I've got.

You can't really see from the photo, but the shoulder is kind of...huge...

Chest pieces...

Giant shoulder with attachment

Small shoulder with attachment

Left (finished) forearm

Everything.
More updates to come. Let me know what you think
And, everything's done.

Are you going to redo the giant shoulder peice lol!?

Probably. I think the helmet too.

[bobbio555]

Bumpity bumpity double post! Righto, let's get to the updates.

New helmet in the works, not too much progress on that, decided to get the cheek vents perfect, and ended up redoing that section about 5 times.

The several faces of Satan. As much I love meleck's unfold of the helmet, it's just completely unrealistic to expect it to look good. I ended up editing the model in pepakura, and unfolding it myself. Now I just need to print out the cheek and slap it all together.

Got a dremel, been messing around with that.

Maybe a little too much.

AR in the works.

Also a magnum.

Finished resining the forearm, planning on glassing that fairly soon.

Crisped out the edges a bit, took off some drips.

Still a giant glob of resin left.

Glassed the inside a bit (chopped strands, first time.)

Glassed the middle (once again, chopped strands.)

Yup.
So, all in all, entire upper body in the works, other than the left chest plate thingy.
Now, I'm moving tomorrow, so I won't be making any more progress then, or printing out any more peps, seeing as the printer is kept at my dad's.
On the other hand, the new house has a ventilation system in the basement, several work tables, and a room separate from the rest of the house, which is to be dedicated to my armor and I.
Stay tuned.
EDIT: Almost forgot, everything other than the right forearm and shoulder bell is resined.

Looking good.

Looking good.

Thanks. Got a little progress done, but things are slow. Still adjusting to the new house, and next to no internet access on top of that. >_> I guess I'll throw some pics up later when I have some time to myself.

[bobbio555]

Not too much work done, but I got the helmet semi-bondoed, and the brim mostly hardened, and glassed the hell out of the chest piece. Helmet is really starting to come together, detailing is yet to come. Belt plate in the works, a left equipment plate, and a redone center plate. And now, pix!






Drowned in bondo.




This thing is friggin heavy :P

Leave a comment.
Please.
I'm begging you. Save this thread.

looking good when is the finishing date?

I'm looking to have most of the upper body (at least helmet, torso, and chest piece) finished for the end of the month, and the complete suit ready for halloween.
