Well my friends, it’s been cold just like everywhere else, and I do not have a garage or indoor area to paint. So while waiting, here’s some things I’ve done that didn’t require painting: added battle damage to my armour, TRIED to do the simple speaker system in the helmet so people could hear me but there is no sound when I speak so when that was a bust, I rewired my helmet fans to flow air out of the helmet through the ODST vents on either side, which greatly helps keep my helmet from fogging. It’s just a little loud but as long as you say it with your chest, I’ll hear you. Then I made a combat knife from making a freehand template, and some 6mm foam. I just eyed it so the knife may be out of proportions, but I tried to base the size/proportion off of Bucks knife. No measurements, just drawing it and cutting it.
The battle damage is from taking direct and glanced hits from high caliber weaponry from innies, and plasma scorches and hits from covies.
Enjoy!
