Hi all. I'm new to this site and have been looking around for a while and finally found something I think I can do for my first project. Using templates I found here: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php?t=31845&highlight=Reach+army+trooper+build+foam I'm going to start making some unsc army trooper armor. I took these templates, went down to my local techshop, and put them into the laser cutter and came out with this:

More to come so check back soon.

Made the chest piece way to big, had to size it down significantly.

The beginnings of the attachment process for the plate carrier. I used velcro on the back side so it could be removed easily.

Normally I'm not a fan of using the reverse side of EVA foam but it's adding a really nice texture to your armor. Did you order some special foam because I've never seen reverse texture like that.

The foam I used was from harbor freight. You can find it here: http://t.harborfreight.com/anti-fatigue-foam-mat-set-4-pc-61607.html

Did they increase the price? Seems like they've caught on to the use of their foam.

Thanks. Sorry haven't had progress in a while. I'm talking to a guy that does some professional theater stuff about painting it.

Im mostly done painting the armor by now. I still have to weather the chest piece and attach some of the detail pieces. Afterwards I'll apply a matte finish and hopefully make it less shiny looking.
