My first ODST build

[HydrationPatrol]

Love the blue! Are you planning on adding any weathering?

perhaps at some point. But I don't know how to do weathering so I gotta learn that first.

There’s plenty of people here willing to help, myself included! It’s my favorite part of painting! Excited to see your build

I kinda forgot to get many photos of myself in my armor after i redid it. This is a photo from the last day of the rose city comic con.

Looks good I like the scarf, that first helmet visor was better if I get a better set up for vacum forming ill take another shot at it. (I made both the visors so I can be critical)

My latest thing is that I made a wooden model of a military knife I own to go somewhere on my suit. I still gotta make a sheath and figure out where I want it. I also need to get better at taking more photos during the building process of the things I make.

I’m thinking about doing that in the future but I’m a little spooked since I have never done this kind of painting before so I don’t know any painting techniques.

thats a sweet looking knife you got there! What process did you use to make it?

i had some scrap wood that i cut thinner on my table saw, then i traced the outline of my knife on the wood and normally i would cut out the big chunks of wood but my scroll saw is old and broken so i just used the sander. for the two pin holes in the middle and the circular divot under the blade i used the drill press, which next time I'm not gonna make the two pin holes since it isn't a real knife and it doesn't need pins. then i just primed and painted the pieces and glued them together.

Finally got a fan in my helmet it’s definitely not pretty but it does the job.

Looks like a tight fit

Yeah but surprisingly it’s actually not that bad. I can kinda feel the battery pack on my cheek but I can still put it on and take it off pretty much just as easily as before.
