"Dutch" ODST build [Pic Heavy] 25Oct UPDATE
25Oct
Little more progress. If there are too many pics (or too large.. let me know
Boot toe, part of a Full boot by Th3 FETT MAN. Way to small, definitely needs to be scaled up.
Pauldron by Kirrou, looks pretty good as far as i can tell. I did the hinged version.

first attempt at making a clear visor. the funny thing is, the good clean edge was the first one i did... must have lost patience with my gluing after that. and yeah...lol made one too many fold cuts on the upper part

ANd finally... the Thigh.. right thigh. Model by Nightshade. still very much a work in progress

AS soon as i get more paper, I'm going to start work on one of the shins.
I had started a pistol, the M6C/SOCOM, but that's not been going so well. Had tried to do in in plastic to.. but coupled with a not so good night..... and yeah it was filed in the circular filing cabinet. ah well. I'll get back to it later.
14OCT
Oh so many Glue hairs.....lol
I know there is those little pieces missing in the front, I've not decided whether to try and put those in or to fudge it and fix it with fiberglass and bondo...
Sub assembly
Rear
right
UPDATE 12Oct:
Just finished the second Pep build of the Dutch helm. Far happier with this one than the previous. Still some pars I'm not happy with, but I think those things will be fixed witha combination of practice, better assembly planning and refining of the unfolded file. Might help if i use a heavier cardstock too, but not sure where to get that (still havent tried staples or office depot)
For now the pics are just up on the flickr page, but I'll post them onto here later this eve.
I probably won't be doing the resin/fiberglass/bondo for a while, but hard to do those kind of things in an apartment.
Anyhwo, let me know what you think!

Hey Hey Everyone!
Thought I'd share the progress of the ODST Build I am working on.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, All I have at the moment is my webcam, (Wife's out of town with our good camera )
This was my first attempt at pepakura modeling, and for the most part i thought it turned out pretty good. Some parts of it...*cough* right side vents * cough* not so well
You'll probably notice the top panel is missing as well, that's because my dog sat on it before i had a chance to attach it. Ah well.
So instead of attempting to repair and replace some of these pieces I went ahead and messed with the pep file a little and decided to start over using what I'd learned.
I'll do my best to upload better pics once i get my camera back
