I'm working on an ODST build. I'm starting from the patterns and tutorials provided by Andrew DFT https://www.youtube.com/user/DaFrontlineTrooper
So far I've got the helmet and torso done:
Build update - chest plate done. I've got some blue LED's pushed in between the layers. Looks cool, but I'm not sure if ODST armour lights up, does anyone know of 'official' reference images?
Lessons learned so far:
- Use a sharp blade. Really!
- Press the knife right through the foam and hold firmly as you cut
- I prefer contact cement, but use hot glue to fill gaps or build up a piece.
- I like to transfer my templates to heavy card. I use a glue stick and recycled cereal boxes. (I plan to make two suits)
- A4 pages don't fit on letter size paper. Legal size paper works though!
