Fantastic build. All the foam work is so clean. What thickness of foam are you using for all of this?

Most of it is 10mm, but I used 6 for the gauntlets and various other thicknesses for detailing. And it's all tnt foam.
How is the speaker with the filter in place? Would you happen to have a demonstration of it? I'm curious if the 3watt and inline filter is worth the swap out on my Mandalorian helmet.

If I have time today I'll do a video comparison with and without. Like I mentioned in my post, I think the notch filter is a tad aggressive. You probably only need to attenuate 3-6 db at the frequency of the feedback to help. Id like to implement a dual band eq with adjustable gain and frequency for each eq point. This would make it far easier to dial in an eq curve that takes out just enough to cut out feedback, but not to where it significantly effects overal volume. If you're curious, the filter circuit I used is called a twin-t.

Hello everyone,
A great deal has happened since I last updated, mostly soft parts and oh what wonderful soft parts they are!
For starters, I added the inner thighs onto the thigh armor:
I added scoring to the forearms to make them more game accurate. I also filled some of the not so great seams.
I also printed D3LTA 's glorious combat knife:
Hell's bells we got some shoulder bells!
And some strapping shoulder straps!
I even did a little suit up:
Badabing badaboom that's all I got for now. I'm starting to feel like the end is in sight for this one. Hopefully I can crank out the paint once the weather warms up. It's been 9 degrees for the last two days...
I might try to tackle the undersuit sections to fill out the gaps between my back and the back plate, we'll see how motivated I feel. It definitely comes in waves.
Shout out to two awesome builders working on ODSTs right now: TurboCharizard and TillXValhalla go check out their stuff!

No shout out deserved for me. Right now it's just a bucket of plastic in comparison to yours!

Mini update. I've finished the undersuit sewing for the most part. I didn't start from scratch on these, I just modified a shirt and a pair of pants by adding sleeves and knee covers.
Here are the knee covers:
And here is the end result:
I've added snaps to the waist of the pants and to the bottom of my vest. Unfortunately the snaps I used aren't very strong at all and I pop at least 3 of them just bending down to look at my shoes so I have to either find stronger snaps, or devise some other way to keep the pants up. One idea my brother suggested was adding elastic to the snaps in the back to take some of the force of bending, so I'll try that first.
Here's a quick picture I took with some gear from v1 added into the mix. I'm starting to see how this project will come together, and it's almost warm enough to start painting so expect to see updates on that in the coming months, maybe even weeks.
In terms of problem solving, I mostly just have some comfort things to work out. Figuring out the snaps will be a big step in that regard, as will strapping up the armor. I intend to add elastic to the inner thigh ring because they fit a little snug and are constantly trying to work themselves down.
That's all for today, have a nice weekend.
