Thanks guys fir the good feedback , right now im just waiting on some pieces to dry then paint them. I'll put a new update when they are done.



Oh and just for a quick update i found some CD cover sticker laying around so i printed the UNSC and eagle logo and cut it out. they turn out really good.( they look too shiny on the picture i dont know why)

First off, I would like to say that this project looks great, and is really comming along nicely.



Secondly, would it be to much of a bother to tell me exactly what material you used for the "padded" armour parts.



Thanks in advance, and again, great work.



Cheers!

I went to the fabric store and asked for a black stretchy material , kinda like spandex and the lady showed me like 3 or 4 types of fabric and choose that one. I dont know the name of the fabric

Hey guys i got a new update on my armor and i live it , I finish all the chest pieces and i couldn't stop till it was semi-completed lol, so i made a harness looking thing with straps and buckles to attach all the pieces together.



I still gotta fix some the belt buckle because keeps on going to one side thats why on the pictures it looks kinda tilted to one side, but i already figure it out how to fix this little problem and ill be on it as soon as possible.



Anyways here are some pictures of the Armor, Also u can see a vest hanging on the bottom, juts don't mind it i had to use something to hold the pillow that im using as stuffing for my mannequin, i got tired of working on the floor so i made one with a busted tripod for video camera and its working good for now. I also use the tripod to hold my resined pieces and paint stuff.

Im using Rust-Oleum hammered Black paint and i made the straps with fomie and then cover them with the same fabric from the chest pieces. :lol

Paints a lil glossy, I think gunmetal black is the best but, I'm not sure if I can find any round' here.

Your absolutely right , actually i was looking for a gunmetal black paint for cars but i dont have a paint gun and i dont think i can do that on my garage even if i had it lol... so i went with this and it turn out great. It looks glossy on the pictures because of the lights but its not actually that shiny.



This is the color i was looking for:

Just a quick update, i finished the chest armor now its done the onlt thing missing are the arms and the left shin.



Anyways here is a picture.

Looks amazing!

What pieces are you currently working on now or planning to work on next?

 

[Samuray]

Awesome work. The custom strapping is an awesome touch.

 

[Enrisan]

it's looking really good so far, keep it up!

 

[corby]

Wow, I think this thread has convinced me to do an ODST next. amazing job on all your pieces!

 

[Awaredesign]

Thanks everyone for all the good feedback



Im gonna be working on the gauntlets and the other thigh piece leaving the helm to the end. I hope i can finish everything before september cause here in Canada starts getting cold and the weather sucks for resining and all that stuff.



Ill keep you guys updated soon.

 

[Chewbs]

You did a good job on the strapping, where did you get the various bit and pieces from?

 

[theinfamous13]

IT'S... SO... PEEERRFFFEECCTTT!!!! My eyes are bleeding from the awesomeness!!!!

 

[killinghorne]

WTF this is the best odst armor i've ever seen in my whole halo life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek

(srry for my bad gramatica)

 

[Tack117]

Your armor looks awesome! Wish I had that kind of patience. lol

I would like to work on an ODST suit soon. Do you have any advise on how to do the helmet? I had printed it off once but sadly, I didn't really try to do it because a lot of the numbers were all clumped together so I couldn't read them, and that made it really hard to see where I needed to cut and fold...
