Hello everyone!
Short post this week. With ECCC done and in the past, I managed to just get enough of my suit done for a troop. I managed to break a couple pieces, figured out that I need to reprint a lot of pieces, and have decided that I need to be able to hear while my bucket is on my head, so I'll be looking to add a mic to my set up. I didn't take any photos (cause I'm a bad trooper) but I do have one or two for your viewing pleasure taken by other 405th members at the con.

For sure! Suit is on pause right now while I finish up buying a condo and moving, but next spring I should have a finished product.

At the small cost of Noble's father's van smelling like spraypaint for the day, it was completed! The grind was real and you managed to pull it off and look great!

Not so true anymore sadly. I managed to break a bracer and a thigh piece and neither one are really repairable due to the rush job I put them through. I was also missing a fair number of armor pieces, but smallish ones for the most part. Still, I'd like to get them done. Also on the books is a backpack, possibly holding power and water for me. Finally, I was an ODST without a weapon! Who ever heard of such slander? All told, I'm currently about 70% done with my build, not counting parts that need to be reprinted for sizing reasons.

sounds like there needs to be an ODST build party.

Not gonna lie, I really want to get all the WaBat ODST's onto the same paint scheme and undersuit design so that we look like we're all in the same squad. Pipe dream I know, but it would look awesome.

That would be really sick. We would also need to have the same build for everyone so they match so it sounds like we would have to start a build group.

Oof..... alright, I've been MIA for a bit, but I have good reasons I swear! First off, I bought a house, and that has absolutely murdered my free time. After that, I've had my printer break, so yeah....... I haven't let that completely stop me, and I have some small updates for you.
First up, PerniciousDuke talked me into making the trip up to Victoria for Capital City Comic Con, which was an absolute blast. Once again, I didn't take photos, because I'm still a terrible trooper, but I promise I'll try and get better at that. Maybe for the Halo World Championships. So watch this space, I'll have updates in the future.
That's it, that's all I've got! See y'all soon I hope!

That pistol looks beautiful

Thank you, sadly that pistol didn't survive very long. It was a fantastic learning project, unfortunately most of the lessons learned were what not to do.

That is sadly a real struggle when working with this kinda stuff. I had some growing pains with my jorge armor

Hey folks! It is with great sadness that I announce the retirement of my first suit. But Luka! you say, You haven't even had your suit for a year! Why retire it? Well, the truth of the matter is that my suit isn't going to survive all that much longer no matter what I do. You see, in order to get my suit out the door in time for Emerald, I took a rather large number of shortcuts. Things were printed fast, with very little infill, and the qualities of the prints suffered as a result. Add in the fact that I didn't properly size all of my armor, and you end up with stuff that cracks when you look at it funny. I've made repairs, and I've managed to get 4 troops out of it, most recently at the Halo World Championships. So as a fair well gift to this armor, I got Master Chief and Cortana to sign my bucket.
Now, I'm not planning on closing out this thread. I have a bunch of projects in the works, but I don't have a suit at the moment and I need to fix that, so ODST version 2 is already on the printer. So keep an eye on this space and we'll all see what it is I come up with this time!
Alright, you got me.... my ODST got murdered....

To me it doesn't look like you were murdered... but it does look like someone stole your heart
