This build looks incredible. The finish is super clean and really pleasing to the eye. The weathering and metallic effect especially stand out; it feels realistic without being overdone.

I’m really curious about your process for the weathering and metallic look. Did you use layered metallic paints, drybrushing, washes, or something else to achieve that effect? The balance you achieved is really impressive.

I also wanted to ask about your strapping system. Where did you source the straps and hardware, and did you follow a specific method for mounting them to the armor? I’m going to be implementing strapping on my own build soon, so I’d love to learn from what you did here.

Excellent work overall, this is definitely one of those builds that looks great both in photos and in concept.

I'd love to check out MAGfest someday. Your ODST and the lighting both look awesome!
