I don't get it but, I will 'like' it anyway.
EDIT: I did a translate. I still don't quite understand.
I'm quite dense today. I think my age is affecting me.

Just me being rude......

Yeah.......google translate just doesn't catch the full effect.......it's hard to translate slang.

Anywho....I'll have an update later today or first thing in the AM.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Ok so the update was a few days late......still, have some pics:

Chest needs the side strap pieces, the cuts for accents, the logo for the add-on chest piece (the add on piece is done). Once those are done, I can get started on the butt plate and abdomen armor and cylinder. Now the shoulder pieces should have been a bit lower on the back side but since I need to custom fit the cylinder, I need a bit of room back there to figure out how and where it needs to go. The ab and butt pieces will be from DFT's 2nd go around w/ the ODST build.

Hey guys, just confirming that this is the logo we are going with:

 

[Dirtdives2424]

I’ve got an early weekend update. Weather is crappy and 2 kids are sick and the oldest is suffering from a broken heart so my family is physically and emotionally all over the charts.

Got some detail scored on the chest, some additional abb pieces done as well. Now I hope you guys don’t make mind but I added an additional etched design on the shoulder. The 405th logo. I think it came out really good. Let me know what you think.

thats good! did you do it by hand?
this also made me realize something, if you sharpen a cookie cutter it would make for easy shapes on costumes

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Semi-freehand. I used a template out of one of my 405th stickers for the outlines but the lettering and stars were freehand

 

[PaiganBoi]

The build is looking sweet. Nice touch on the 405th logo. That turned out great.

Much agreed. That looks amazing!

Sorry to hear about your family and their chart problems. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say get well soon and keep your chin up.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Ok so I I have the chest emblem etched out. I just need to hit it w/ the heat gun now. But this is what it looks like right now.


It was a lot easier than I though ......just time consuming. A little over 3 hours start to finish. But well worth it. Hopefully I can get the last of the lower abdomen pieces done this weekend.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

Wow! that's looking great Dirtdives !

Hopefully I caught you before you started, but I've already made the butt plate. It was the only piece I was designated to make. But now I'm gonna have to steal something from somebody because I'm bored. I'm thinking maybe the thigh plates...

 

[Dirtdives2424]

If you want.........I haven't been able to size the lower abb section correctly......if you pick that up, I can focus on the cylinder section for the back.I have to fabricate that by hand.

This is the section I'm talking about.

And here is the chest emblem all heated up:

way better than even I anticipated......I want one of these for myself.

 

[PaiganBoi]

Wow. The chest emblem did indeed turn out awesome.

 

[Sean Anwalt]

Chest emblem is AMAZBALLS! How did you cut the circle so smoothly?

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Thanks guys.......Sean Anwalt, I cut out my pattern, traced it on the foam....and free handed the cut......Those 2 circles were the most nerve racking parts to do. They'er not 100%, but only a close inspection can you see some of the flat edges.
