My first odst build

[FFUniden]

Diving into this stuff full force. I started making a reach spartan but couldnt get it how i wanted so moved on to the ODST.

I figured the best way to hold it together was as one main piece. I used velcro on the side armor piece as a large strap to hold it together.

Chest armor going in. Not the best seams but im hoping to seal them up well. (And yes i know the winds are upside down. I fix them)

Everything finished to date and attached to the chestpiece, still many details to put on but the majority of the foam is done

Looks great! Foamwork has always been super impressive and yours is no different! Can't wait to see more!

Spent the weekend working on the thigh pieces. Im trying to get the majority of the foam pieces built before going back and doing the detail work.

 

[FFUniden]

Took today to work on the shins.

The scale left me with a bad pinch point in the back of the knee. After some work with the dremel that was taken care of and the front was attached

Now to just make the knee piece and figure out how to attach it

Thanks!! It was touch and go there for sure. I have some ideas in mind but nothing set just yet. Got some clothes coming to try underneath it first.

I buy mine from tnt cosplay. I don't like quick seal as it dries a diffrent texture when you paint if it's over a large area it's noticeable

As you can see on this sniper rifle build I was working on at one point

Even after a plasti-dip coating?

The black is plastidip. The kick seal just has a diffrent texture

I mean if it bugs you then it bugs you, but I don't really mind it. This is the shin piece from my suit, and it's smothered in kwik seal. In the right picture I've circled every seam that I filled with kwik seal. It is smoother than the foam which makes it look a bit shinier, but I also used silver paint on all the edges to give the effect of chipped paint so the extra shine from the kwik seal doesn't stand out as much.
