part 2 of my ODST build:
Great progress so far! I feel like i’ve been getting better at foam crafting. Not only the building part, but also navigating pepakurra, especially with scaling and “optimizing” my printed templates for cutting.
I now have both shoulder pieces finished! last step which i will likely do once i have most the armor finished is sanding and smoothing out any edges for painting and stuff. (That will be its own learning curve too as ive never painted anything in my life haha)
I also took some time to test some rigging with the undersuit i bought. Just some tactical pants and a shirt i got off of amazon.

I have also pieced together one of the boots, though i still need to bevel and clean up a few things, but im very satisfied with how it fits and is comfortable/easy to put on.
I have had some great suggestions from members in the discord and threads I've been recommended on here. One suggestion was using shoes from the tall mens website. These bad boys, though a little clunky and tricky to build around, add 4 inches to my height! Im 5’11 and stand just shy of 6’3 with these on!

Thats all for now. Next goals are to finish the other shoe and start working on the shins. See ya then!
