Hello everyone!

first of all, i'm reaaaaaaaaaly proud to be there. realy.The 405th community looks very nice.
secondly, i'm french (bisoux de France!), and i'm wondering if there is any French people around there? Anyway, let's get to the point!


A few time ago, i started my own ODST armor, because those dudes are realy cool.

So, i took some Pep refs, and for now, i did this!
they are scalled, and, because of my busy schedule, i can't (for now) do a piece by day.


These are the shoulders armor

the biceps armor

aaaaand the gauntlets
20150612_024436_zpsneflcv7k.jpg

i'm curently working on the shins. Then i will apply some acrilyc resin, and fiberglass inside. after that, i will work on the torso and all the stuff around (hips plate,croch plate ect ect)

I've read many tutos, guides, and posts on this forum and on others.
But, if you have any suggestion,critique,or tips, fell free to tell me, i will take it with grattitude :)

(here the shoulders)
20150612_024422_zpsffroofmu.jpg

Your shoulders are halo 3 ones. nothing wrong with them just different game variant.
 
Glad to see another ODST. Parts look pretty good, but I agree with redoing the shoulders. The game Halo 3 ODST is the best for reference by far.
Keep up the good work, and keep is posted. No worries if real life slows down your progress. I've been working on mine for over a year.

UPDATE!

instead of doing the torso, like i said, i've decided to create....THE HELMET!
and it's not a fail, i'm really proud of it :)

Looks good dude! There's another French user on here but I can't recall his username, he makes top notch stuff though if I remember correctly.
 
If you're not feeling up to working on a particular step, no shame in switching to another part. Progress is progress. I've got some shoulder straps staring me in the face, so I'm working on the gauntlets the last few days.

Small update!

Shoulder armor are redone, they look WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better.

I think i will apply a first resin layer before stick the parts together.

Oh, and i've found how to do the undersuit. I will use my SWAT-like clothes that i use for airsoft.

20150627_181315_zpsie7d6lzg.jpg

I think it will look like an actual ODST undersuit, don't you think?


and remember kids, be carefull with a cutter!

20150627_180551_zps3gdoe0ct.jpg

nex step, body armor!

Looking good. I am using airsoft clothes too, but having trouble ordering pants in the right size from Amazon. Might have to do some local shopping so I can try them on first. And congrats on your first battle scar. I've got a few of my own.

eyh guys!

small update!

I've finished the chest core!
20150710_165837_zpsix6jpns9.jpg


also, i've found the glove i was using for airsoft, they looks perfect for the suit!

20150710_163904_zpsfgvurqll.jpg
20150710_163928_zpscypsbjw6.jpg

I began to apply acrilyc resin on the pieces i have created, but...well, it's not very perfect...i think i will use some polyester resin, even if it is reaaaaally difficult to use, but it will be better for the first hardening...

finally i am thinking about the stripping of the suit...i will post my ideas here later...
