1st Build 3D printed ODST Armor

[Chronomize]

Fricken dope, son!
Really looks like it's coming along nicely
Good luck with that visor

 

[JammedMite942]

Looking sick! Can’t wait to see it finished!

I got in my belt and a few other soft pieces so I started test fitting and finding locations for the attachment straps.

Those look clean
It's really shaping up

Everything is painted now. I don’t know if I’ll have time to add battle damage/weathering before Haloween or TwinCities con. I’m rely anxious about messing up the weathering process. I still need to do final assembly, dye the visor, pad out the helmet and maybe add fans. But it’s almost time to drop!

Dyed my visor yesterday. Printed out a new water slide transfer sheet. Hopefully that one is going to turn out well. Finished the belt and the back plate. Now I have to work on padding in the shins and adding the armor detail to the thighs.

Adding colour to the visor really brings the helmet to life!

My armor has a pretty similar harness system, I’m not sure if you are running into the same problem as me but I would recommend making a strap to connect the belt around your shoulders kinda like suspenders, it would help if you find that your thighs keep falling down.

HydrationPatrol my armor is mainly built off an Amazon plate carrier. So I can attach the belt to the bottom of the carrier and have it all as one unit.

Massive-ish update.

I have been rushing to finish for Haloween and the Twin Cities Con. There is more I would like to do (Finish forearms paint a camo pattern on the thighs and forearms and put fans in the helmet.) but I finally reached the stage where it is wearable and I will be focusing on durability and comfort of the suit.

Until I get some pictures wearing the whole thing enjoy the photo dump.

Very nice. Hope you have fun at con with it!

Love your odst adapted bible verse on the back bro! Nice going with the plate carrier idea, I've seen a few odst build done that way. I did mine as a one piece torso and it's a little lacking in the mobility section.

Yeah I’m excited now. I test wore it for Haloween had the whole thing on about 5 hrs. I need stronger magnets for the thigh weapon mount. And the fan system I wired up didn’t work well because i only have 12v or 24v fans and a 9v power supply. But I ordered a couple 5v fans from Amazon and I should be able to sort that out. I did also get some photos for the Deployment application. I can share here.

That looks so awesome! Love the color scheme you went with for it, looks great! Whatever magnets you end up using for the thigh mount please share, mine aren’t strong enough either so I need new ones lol.

Everything fits. I only have to build the belt and rig the thigh pieces. And then sand paint and weather everything. And perhaps ad some foam to the insides of the forearms shins and thighs. Almost in the home stretch.

What are you using for an undersuit? Just black BDU's, or something else?

I am wearing black multi cam I got from Amazon. The whole armor attaches to a plate carrier I got also from Amazon and a belt. All are advertised as airsoft gear.

Gloves belt and belt padding were from AliExpress.

I actually never considered attaching the torso armor to a plate carrier. I'll have to try that. Thanks!

I am very bad about doing updates here because I'm on the discord more. But I had a successful Con at Twin Cities Con. I also went to Planet Comicon this year where I met so many more of you. We are now two weeks from C2E2. and I have been working on repairs and upgrades. I am reinstalling fans in my Helmet because it is a necessity and I am working on the com Unit that Buck uses In ODST. I was asked to post close-ups of my armor for details so I will add those here plus some of my favorite picture from Planet.
