Foam/Printed ODTS

[ReProps2003]

Hi all, I've got an ODST built that I've been working on and improving over the past year so i figured I'd show my process and upgrades. I'll made a post for each major upgrade/revision of the armor since it incorporates new processes and techniques i learned along the way.

The first version of the armor was made December of 2023. It was made from floor mat foam using Andrew DFT's templates for the armor and Hero's workshop ODTS helmet pattern. foam was glued using contact cement and strapping was all nylon straps and buckles. Defiantly had too many pouches and the ab plate didn't sit right, but i feel it was a solid start.

I look forward to seeing how this build progresses!
Nice kit!

I actually love the pouches! there may be "too many" but im wondering if its just because of the ab plate situation? do you need the plate to attach the pouches too? do you think you could transfer those onto a belt or hang them down from the chest piece? i wonder if losing the ab plate will make the pouches not look so bulky. I didnt even realize there WAS an ab plate until i saw it without the pouches haha. i think it looks slightly off because the midsection has more going on than your chest. great build!
