Feet first, start of the journey

[BloodRevanX]

Hey y'all, the start of this journey is commencing. I've always enjoyed the ODSTs when the 1st intro to them in H2
Halo ODST was also a great game to get the love for the ODSTs to really kick off. That being said, the great journey commences with going feet first into Hell.

I selected to go with the ODST design with the Recon helmet
The helmet is being made via 3D Printer, unfortunately, because of time restraints, it'll just be the helmett this go, I'll also be aquring black BDUs

What helmet files are you using? If you haven’t seen we have a 3d file repository. There is also great files from Galactic Armoury that are really high res. If you have any questions we’re here to help!

where things were in December

Taken some time, but here is the progress of the helmet. The sanding down of imperfections began, and primer has been applied to reveal more areas needing to be sanded down. The next phase is to fill in and sand down more of the helmet.
Plan is to place it in a mould to have a stronger helmet, since the current material makes the helmet fragile and.. not so friendly with heat

Progress had been slow, but ramping up, definitely would have preferred to have been further along. Also, the next stage, along with the continued progress, is to have pauldrons and the chest piece made, unsure about shinguards... was thinking skipping those and just sticking with knee pads
