JBetts97 ODST build (Pic heavy)

Unity · Oct 25, 2010

Hello all!

I just started my ODST build. I cant take credit for the AMAZING pep job, as Boba Fett is the one who did it. This is NZTK's Weta model, modified by Ruze, and Unfolded by Boba Fett. Thanks again man!

Here are some pictures-

Grandpa approves!

Howdy doody approves too!

great to hear you like it! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it. and just FYI, use photobucket "IMG" codes. Copy and paste them into the post. HTML code might work too, I'm not sure. Looking forward to see what you can do with it!

I got a ready-post box from the post office, about $2. Postage was another $2. The killer was I had to buy packing tape!!!!!!! $3. DANGIT! Shoulda brought my own... oh well, live and learn. Didn't apck it with anything, just the 2 pep pieces in there. I could have used my own box and saved $6, but I couldn't carry a box on my bike for 1.5 miles... Good to hear the rain didn't kill it! We've been having crappy weather lately here... 40-50 mph winds!!!!! Plus some rain earlier today. I love this state and hate it at the same time...

Yeah we've had a severe wind adivisory all day into tomorrow night. I guess there are going to be 50-60 mph wind gusts.

not to offend anyone but there are currently much more game accurate ODST helmet files out there, just in case you didn't know, again I mean no offense

But the one he used is simple an easy, looks like even Rube used this for his helmet.

Yes . I used the WETA odst file because-

1 . it gives me more custom detail.

2. the game accurate files look a bit narrow.

Thank you for realizing this !

Yep, I'm using both, WETA and one from the game, the WETA cuz its easy.

Actually, Rube used the unmodified NZ-TK ODST pep... Ruze made several modifications to this one that made it much better. Currently, I think the most accurate ODST helm available is Hugh's. I think Forged Reclaimer's comes in a close second, but the chin areas are no 100%. Plus it was cheaper for jacob to have me pep this one rather than an uber HD one. But yeah, the less detail, the more work you have to do, and the more unique it is.

Exactly my thought process! I want my ODST helmet to be unique like rubes and mr bungles . One of a kind, you know.

Sorry for the delay in updates. The family computor (aka the one with all of the free disc space) has virus . I cant upload pictures because I have no way of transfering my camera to my laptop. I should have some pics up tomorrow or sunday.
