Dude that is AMAZING!!! I am trying to build a set of ODST armor using pepakura and I HIGHLY doubt it would turn out as good as yours. Just a quick question though. Is it possible to build, reinforce, and paint a chest piece and shoulders in less than 2 weeks?
Thanks for the kudos guys, but the base armor is from Sean B and he did the hardest part by 'creating' said armor. All I did was clean, fit, trim, strap, adjust, paint and put it all together.
mrmikeman, in answer to your question, you need to ask yourself this. Do you have, in that 2 weeks, to commit a 'safe' amount of time to build PROPERLY, reinforce [dry, bondo, and sand] and then properly paint it? Anything is doable in 2 weeks, just the end result might vary from each individual and 'quality' of work put into said build.
When I had to create work from scratch, sculpting it took quite a bit of time to get it accurate right. Followed by the molding, drying time, casting time...even weather played a role in the process. In the end, it all boils down to how accurate you wanna be and how 'clean' you want your finished work to look like.
OR, you could buy said parts from Sean B.
That said, whatever you choose to do, good luck! And I look forward to your finished product.
Stay safe,
Tim.

Fantastic! I'm curious, what did you use for the undersuit? it looks pretty comfy.
Thanks for the kudos! Okay, both the undersuits [the standard black and the film shoot Multicam] are from Crye Precision. The elbow and knee pads help to stiffen, prevent roll around and in a way, protect [knee] when worn with the gauntlets and knee/shin armor.
Hope that helps!
Stay safe,
Tim.

Apologies but just a little heads up. After 6 months, Sue/Calliopeia [Cortana] is finally back from New Zealand, and will begin post production of Pink Prancing Ponies real soon. Again, apologies on the tardiness...
