Foam ODST Build!

[Dire]

Alright base shoulders are done. Turned pretty good but it's just simple shapes. Also here's both, for posterity.

That tab you have marked as 'back' is actually the front. The tab is a mount for the bicep plate.

Oooooooooh, I was so stuck on that, thanks man!

It took me a very long time to figure it out myself. In fact on my suit right now its backwards.

Yeah I was looking thru your thread and Elcorio to see it and I was like oh cool that's how it goes

Yup lmao
Shoulder mounts look good zachturner009! I love them and with snap fasteners or velcro they give a seamless look.
Paigan and I both did snap fasteners.

Hell I was going to do an elastic strap connect the two, didnt even think about snaps.

And finish two bicep plates, just got to say, it was the hardest thing I have ever made, but I did it, here it is.

 

[Dire]

Alright, soooo time to do my actual shoulders I'm going to love this, so I'm going to make 2 ODST shoulders, and one sniper/cqc plate, base on my reference they put the sniper plate over the ODST shoulder, which is pretty awesome, this is what I'm talking about.

Mighty fine bicep plates, I never made them sadly. maybe one day. Also yeah snaps are great, I used them for my thighs, shins and shoulders. I also made a tutorial on how I did it in the tutorial section take a look from this link
(idea inspired from PaiganBoi )

(Tutorial)Snap Fasteners. Seamless armor to under-suit attachment, with no sewing!

This is a tutorial on how to attach your under-suit to your armor without the use of sewing or buckles creating a seamless attachment to your armor that can also be taken off. The method I used was inspired by PaiganBoi and Sean Anwalt to attach armor to under-suit using snap fasteners. quick...

I havent worked on any new shoulders yet, attached the bicep pieces to the base shoulder, I got an old shoulder, plan on making much better ones, but here are the pics.

This is the old shoulder, I got the size done, I think, at least I hope.

 

[Dire]

And the base shoulder and bicep plates, I went with a strap system that goes behind my neck, it keeps the my shoulder pieces even, so I'm cool with it.

 

[Dire]

So next step will be to make 2 new shoulders

 

[Dire]

Been busy at work but managed to get my base shoulders, bicep, and ODST shoulder all combined, working on the sniper plate now, had to unfold that puppy and convert it to foam, but here is a regular plain ODST set up.

Alright, and the Med. Ref. raised section I will do when I get more 2mm foam, I actually ran out of that stuff, surprising, right? Also fits very well.

 

[Dire]

Also I will be altering the base chest to make my "dont mess with me pose" easier, thinking about cutting along this line.

Got the upper sniper plate done, now it's the upper "wings" time, here is what I got.

The upper wings go in those big slots, so I'm going to put 6mm foam behind some 10mm foam, should give it that, "I'm bullet proof b!@#$"
