Hi guys!
Since my ODST build slowed to a stop, shriveled up, died, and became a necro, I have finally decided a suit of armor that I will FINISH! I am going to make a UNSC Reach Trooper/Marine out of cross-link camping mat foam, using these templates. TD2253 HAND DREW and SCALED these templates himself! So I have decided to try and imitate his ABSOLUTELY and AMAZING work, even though I am using a different material. So far I have carved out the 'main pieces' of the armor, but the shoulders still have one piece each to be cut out. I have not assembled anything yet (obviously), but I hope to finish cutting out all of the pieces soon. Here are some PICTURES! (that you have been so patiently waiting for)
FIRST: The pile o' crap!
SECOND: Shoulder progress! I still need to carve out the part between the top nub and the bottom 'extra plate' (both shoulders are in this condition)
THIRD: The Chest pieces! My pieces are pretty warped (it was a camping pad, so it curled) I was too impatient to wait for it to flatten fully Does anyone know a good way to fix this?
FOURTH: The Back pieces! This is just the base layer, but the pieces are a BIT warped...
FIFTH: The TOTAL PROGRESS!!! Here are all the pieces I have done so far! (I forgot to include the bottom latch pieces on the chest piece in the chest piece photos)
I will be gone to scout camp for the next week, but I will jumpstart progress after the week is over! I am still debating on whether it should be Arctic themed, or Forest themed... anyways, hope you guys like it so far! Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome!
