Hello all, I've probably been lurking for two years now and have decided it's time to finally participate.
As you are already aware, DFT Madness has struck again, and I've been part of the affected this time. There's a lot I'm not the greatest fan of with his stuff that I have changed with the build, so it's not entirely game-accurate, so please don't crucify me. (So far, it seems like you all are welcoming enough though.)
This is my first build, so it is rough around the edges (Sometimes literally), but this is providing a lot of lessons for me should I decide to make another suit. (Don't worry, I'm pretty much out of hot glue, so no more hot-snot in my next build.)
For the ODST Suit, there's a lot I changed about the helmet. Visor size, width, size, single side piece, and a camera mount for my Contour ROAM 2 were things I changed. I will be narrowing the stripe, this was done just to make it easier on my at the moment.
(NOTE FOR PHOTOS: I'm using my phone to take the photos, and there is some strange warping on some photos. I guarantee the warping is not present in reality.)
Here's all the other stuff that I'm painting. (The BDU pants are just there for testing fit.)
I started the Gravity Hammer build yesterday. and finished the head today. Yesterday I just had the head basic shape done. All the rest was done today.
I'll be looking around this week for leather straps for the handle. I'm still thinking about what I will be building the handle pieces and pommel out of. I may have to go pep with those, but I kinda do want to keep it full-foamy and may do a guide on it later as there seems to be a lack of much at all on the matter so I'm doing it all myself.
I hope to see you all on the battlefield.
