Next up was the Front Chin section, which I decided to do in two parts so that I could better (in theory) preserve the slight height difference in the original form. So, as is my want, I bound about the sections with tape and applied my bondo. I was very concerned when I was done, due to the...

LOL I went back and edited them out. Like 2 F-Bombs, a B-Word, and I might have used the vulgar form of scat once. I didn't see the problem, but I'm not here to be a trouble maker, just to share my project.

True fact. My first experiments were way too runny! Also true, and using the brush was something I found initially very appealing Eh... I think some of my non-smoothinesshoodship may have been my fault, but I'm not 100% sure my experience bares this out. 1,000,000.56% agree! This stuff sucks...

Thanks Skully! Check out the above post (or this one) for the shoulders trying to be all Billie D. Williams with a Colt 45 (smooth, that is).

So, I took a couple days off of the updating thing. Here's what I've got done in the meantime: I taped off the middle ear section in preparation for the upper ear's bondoing: Then I realized, I should probably put a longer piece of tape under the arch so that I would have something to...

I've scanned through the 'Rondo' tut. Thought about using it. Care to fill me in a bit on your experience with it? Easy of use, charachteristics, that sorta thing?

I decided to Primer all my pieces just for fun. I think they look super sexy all darkly shaded. Ran out of Primer before I could do the Shin guards. I don't believe I will be doing body work on pieces like the Hip plates, Belt Buckle, Butt & **** Plates. They seem to not need it. Am I wrong?

Thanks Jimmy. The most amazing thing I've found about the 405th is the super supportive nature of the community. As for the multi posts, the site won't let me put more than 15 pics per entry, thus my tale is made into instalments.

So... Even though I had, at the start of this process, made the descision to work on getting all the pieces done simultainiously, I was dragged back to the Helmet. Unable to resist its siren song. Pulled by its inexorable gravity, and a desire to test myself against the unknown antagonist who's...

So, after applying a coat of primer to the helmet, I refocused on getting as many pieces prepared for resination as possible. One of the toughest, from a technical point of view, pieces for me was the Shin guards. Not only are they round, but they have a tone of little ridges, half ledges...

I've got some, but again, my 'net is being crazy slow tonight, so they are 'Upcoming' rather than 'Here'. lol/sadface

Thanks Sniper. I checked out your thread, and your stuff is kick ***!

Now, I currently have the Helmet, 2 Shoulders (with base plates), 2 Gauntlets, 2 Shins, 2 Boot Covers, 2 Bicep Plates, 1 Thigh, the Belt Buckle, 2 Hip Plates, the **** Shield, and the Butt Pouch pepped, resinated, and fiberglassed. One day, I thought, hey, I wanna get a rough preview of what...

So, about a month ago I was brought into this site and hobby by my friend Joe B(http://www.405th.com/member.php/44235-invisablehero). I have always loved the ODST, in the Halo EU and the Halo games, so I picked up Hugh Holder's ODST pep files...

So, quick word of advice: When some incredibly talented, generous fella puts a helpful warning about how his project is assembled differently than most, READ IT. Also, wouldn't be a bad idea to follow it. I didn't. So I ruined a Hugh's ODST Helmet by not following instructions, and wasted...
