Finished the trim around the outer edge of the thigh piece. Need the girlfriend to help make a template with it on with plastic wrap and duck tape. In the mean time have knocked out the hip pads and cut out the cod piece still need to hit it with the dremel to give it the curved 3d look.

So second attempt at the base armor for the odst. I had to scale it way up to make the height fit. When i have more time ill trim down the shoulders and see if we can make it look good

Your panels down the middle seem to be not attached to each other. Those little spaces I believe are just little recessed strips.

I was going to put a thin piece of foam on the underside to reinforce it flush and give the recessed look. Without that piece of foam it does look a wee bit off due to the warping of the middle panel. But I have alot of work to do on this piece to get it sized right now that I have the height right. Might go for a v3 with custom templates making the front all 1 piece and simplifying the side and back but that will have to wait tell I get more 10mm in about a week or 2. Further more the combat suit portion of the chest for me is going to be almost completely covered with the ab wrap then front plates the side cummerbuns and the backpack for the back
 
So this took way longer than I thought it would being such a small piece. But it came out well I will heat the bottom wings up a bit more to hug the arm more but besides that its for the crafting part its done.

Need to skin it up with craft foam to hide some seams and I think im going to redo the middle hinge piece. I missed a detail and its a little to large. But its almost done. And I've run out of contact cement. So tell next time.

Got the reskinning done. Just need to remake the hinge piece and dremmel a bit. And of course a wee bit of heat gun forming. To get the top to sit symmetrical and round out a bit more after the center squaring.

Finally got the hinge done for this. It took me 4 tries to make one I liked. Im finally done with this piece minus a little bit of heating the top half to make it more round but next pics will be of the chest. Checking the shoulders off. Finaly lol.

Third times the charm we finaly have success. Looked a little small to me at first but placed the belt buckle and hip pads where they would go normal and relieved to find it is solid
