It looks great. I've gone through 5 different ODST shoulder models and have yet to find one I like.

I definitely left that tidbit out, thanks for the catch! Always always always resin/strengthen Pep before adding material. I strongly disagree on using foam with weapons. I recently trashed 2 SMG models as the foam just didn't stop expanding. It got to the point I had to cut expansion...

There's a reason they updated to Mark VI. Keep at it! Hope the rest of the suit turns out!

Great job! Pepping weapons is no small task. I'd recommend staying the hell away from the spray foam. It keeps expanding/contracting for up to 24 hours after its initial exposure to air. I've lost every single weapon I've tried to use it on. Pony up and use the Smooth-cast 300 Plastic...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Combine and their ilk from Half-Life 2 completely original? Sure Valve reused headcrabs and headcrab zombies. But they expanded on them quite extensively in HL2, plus they edited the size, shape, and threat of the HCs. IroniumCostuming - Look at...

Something else to consider after you finish painting the piece, but before you go crazy handling it, is to put a clear sealant on it. Perhaps a spray varnish or something. @Deadalus Thron - Citadel products FTW

Thanks dude. I've been having major issues with the shoulders I've pepped so far. There just is something off about them. Props!

Uh, dude, I'm a Southy. I'm the brave one taking trips north to your place :sleep It looks great. Good work with the dremmel. Please please tell me you did what we discussed before you took that photo! @Condor - I'm definitely going to coat the interior of all my pieces with the...

Never before has the thought of a genetically modifies super soldier herding the cattle caused so much laughter. But what happens when the cattle rustlers come to steal his stock? He can't just kill them anymore!

Another method that works for scaling is to measure the different parts of your body and set the length or height of the part to match. Naga and I have been working on both a Mark VI suite and a set of ODST armor. Here's Naga's Progress Thread. If you have questions shoot either Naga or I a...

@Xtreme TACTICS - No offense XT, but its bad taste to proclaim a forum thread useless, especially if its started by the mods. Also, there are as many approaches to scaling as there are Pep builds, especially if you use models from different authors. There is no silver bullet to scaling...

Eherm... Naga, what's left of that trial size after our helmets is going towards weapon experimentation. I still haven't given up on that for some stupid reason. I am looking into getting a gallon or so. *you have no idea how hard it was not to reply in lolcatz*

Awesome Naga. I have to say you've made some excellent progress this year!

Great job for your first effort at miniature weather! I've been building and painting miniatures for the better part of 15 years now, and I have to say you're on the right track. What types of paint are you using? I highly recommend using acrylics, particular Vallejo or Apple Barrel...

Is this what you're talking about? The guy did an amazing job. I personally think he made it a little too bulky, but the effort he put into it is incredible. I would like to know how he wired up the remote control unit for the mouth.
