Hello All. It is I. And I have a new project to share with you; But first, a story.
When I first joined the website last June I was stricken with ODST armor. I got around to actually making a thread and posting some work but the thread was locked due to inactivity and soon I gave up on ODST armor for a number of reasons. Warping, constantly re-pepping pieces that were destroyed due to carelessness, and a slew of files that wern't very accurate.( allow me to point out that I do not blame those who made the files, But I blame myself for craving more accurate files and not being able to do anything about it.) Soon I went for a MKIV project, with inspiration from several other wonderful builds on this forum. Scince about april or may, I have been working on this and several other costumes. But for now, I am dropping all other projects and going full steam with the armor. So enough about my life story and here's my progress.
I stopped and picked up some supplies earlier. I got both fiberglass mat and cloth to try because I don't know what works better.
These shoulders and gauntlets were recently pepped and are ready for resin.
These thighs and handplate are ready for fiberglassing, after 3 coats of resin.
Last, I just finished my tester chest piece. Scaled at 420mm Height, I think it's a perfect fit.
That's all for now, more updates soon, Bondo to be applied and as we speak my helm is being crafted. I took a break to post this. Thanks for reading and commenting!
