Desert OSDT custom variant

[sgtski]

Sorry for the lack of update, been caught up playing some WOW and waiting on resin. I did attach the chest and small abdominal armor to the chest core. Trying to think of a better way to secure the 2 halves and the side plates. Any suggestions? Pics once i sort it out.

Progress stopped for awhile there. I had a chance to get my learn on and took some cisco classes and got my CCENT certification. As soon as I got back i got started again.

Here is where i stand now. The visor is in, thank you SEAN BRADLEY. The chest and back are connected at the top with buckles under the armor. I am having a heck of a time figuring out a solution to connect the sides and add the side plate and still be able to put it on by myself and keep it relatively lined up. Remember this is a temporary build and will be completely reworked when i get back home and have access to more tools and have time off.

Very sorry for the holdup. My schedule was very... messy for a while there and I needed to catch up. I didn't know I was holding your project up, didn't get your PM's here because I haven't been very active for some time. Email or Facebook always gets to me quick.

Your build looks fantastic! I hope it turns out even better than you expect, and I hope there are no hard feelings. Keep up the great work.

No hard feelings, great lens. Thank you. It really did change the look of the helmet. I sorted out the side plates. pics tomorrow i hope.

This is the inside of the chest.


And the back. Basically made a belt that has a buckle that attaches under the equipment boxes and has the side plates attached to it.

Got the belt done.

Question: how did you do the patch? Did you make it yourself, if so how did you do it, if not, how/where did you get it?

This is looking great man :-)

Your whole chest rig looks really pro. One of the complaints i have of ODST's is the plates seem to "hang off" them. Not so in your case! Great looking setup so far.

It was custom made on base by the alteration shop.

Thank You. Magnets, Hot glue, and nylon straps. It looks better when I can use a mirror to line them up better. the pic was done quickly so i can start packing it all up. Gonna see about 3 months downtime before I can get back to it.
