Starting out strong with my really cute Stencils. (Pink was on sale and I'm cheap) I got a used circuit sticker maker for this.

Made 2 layers for this first white then black, this is the white layer.

There's a few missed steps here and that because I was in a panic, The stencil was taking off a lot of paint with it when I removed it (probably didn't wait long enough for the paint to dry) I got it under control near the bottom but the damage was done so I took more off and called it battle damage

eh I can live with it.

More parts being prepped for paint ( so much sanding)

First coat of primer on the butt pack and belt parts.

At this point all the parts had a silver undercoat for scratching into later

I figured that the logo as much as I loved it needed to be weathered up a bit to match the rest of the armor ( I went pretty easy on it though)

No pics of the stencil but the UNSC Logo was all the same process (with less panic because I let the paint dry more)

The shoulder ( I honestly think they are as iconic to the odsts as the helmets)

More silver undercoats for parts

Test fitting the gauntlet seems like a good fit ( This was stuck on there for a bit, almost broke my hand trying to get it back off)

Without the straps the butt pack looks very suspicious

Lots more strapping and riveting on the elastic straps (The process is Riveting :D)
20220116_163548.jpg

Quick run down of how I prep my 3d parts From right to left Start with a low grit like 80 middle grit was 120 then you end up at 240 before primer.
20220117_155957.jpg

The shoulder plates are attached with buckles

The difference between a prepped part and a fresh of the printer part.
