After a long break from my Marine build I started my long planned ODST armor first
As a base I use the amazing Andrew DFT templates und tutorials but without Eva. I build it with 3 mm plastic sheets. These are easy to handle. You can cut them with hobby cutters and they are thermo active.
I started with the shoulders (don't ask why... Just for a test I think )
I cut the sheets just like in Andrews tutorials with the templates (they are worth it!). Then I cut nearly 45 ° on the parts that I want to bend, heat them up and bend it.
Glued the edges with super glue and use filler on it.
The lines I cut ca. 1mm with a cutter, heat them up a little and draw them deeper with a screwdriver.
For some edges I use a Dremel
