The hip plates are the UA/Multi threat attachment shoulder pieces. http://www.405th.com/miscellaneous-...-943-halo-reach-ua-multi-threat-shoulder.html










The shoulder piece is is the security shoulder http://www.405th.com/mjolnir-powere...d-248-halo-reach-security-right-shoulder.html



I went through and glued Velcro onto the inside of shoulder piece that attached to the neoprene shoulder support straps.



I am making the torso out of squishy cushion foam. We decided to use this method after being shown the ODST torso that was made by Our good friend, LostViking Props. Mal-055 modeled and unfolded the torso file. After printing the pieces out we traced and cut them out of the squishy foam. Black spandex cut out and wrapped around each piece and held on with hot glue on the edges. Each fabric wrapped piece is hot glued together.






Well, that is all of the progress that I will post for tonight. I will continue within the week... If I get time...

got some more work done on the torso underarmor. Got pieces traced and cut out of the squishy foam and then wrapped in the Spandex fabric.






For the ab section I traced out the pattern on the foam and then used a sharp exacto knife to cut through the foam. Each piece was cut out and then glued back in before moving onto the next piece. to wrap it I put hot glue down between each piece and pressed the fabric into it with the scissors. after each line was pressed down I wrapped and glued the sides down to the foam.





Did a test fit on the dress form and placed markers for where to place the velcro and snaps.




Glued each of the sides together and reinforced the inside to keep it from coming apart at the seams.





Added velcro to attach the top torso piece to the bottom and velcro on the side of the ab piece.

Looking good so far! this'll be awesome when its done!

Smiley and Frowny were some of my favorite Insurrectionists from the Freelaner Saga. Good luck!
