My Take On The Concept Odst

[Brandon McClain]

Love the look of the pack!!! Any plans to mold and do pulls? I was wondering if you had any sketches you were working from. I have seen several different ODST concepts and was curious as to which look you were after. If we have the same one in mind, I can hardly wait to see your shins. The work is fantastic, I am keeping an eye on this one!

Marvelous work there, mister. Keep it up! I love it when things are built from scratch.

(EDIT thanks to the powers that be for the post combination)



Well as per usual for my projects I jump in with little reference and usually mould em around my taste lol.



This is the model im using for a loose guideline.

And this is some of the reference for the pack I just added alot of my own ideas.

CHeers and thanks for the comments.

Thats awesome!

Holy $#&7!!! That's look pretty sweet! I wish that you had slightly bigger feet... like 12.5 (ish) I really like the backpack. When I saw the nearby cord to the toaster, I thought that you could make the internal part be a cooler... (which would work out well for "small consumables"). I've heard a couple people wanting to just repaint their armor in desert camo, but I like your idea of making an entirely new suit.

Good Luck!



Cheers!

Actually if you take into account the tape layer and the clay these will fit a lot of sizes. And I'm casting in flex foam so it should flex.

 

[pooper]

Wow, looking awesome Privateer! Really looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with!

 

[ArktosPendragon]

That looks fantastic! The details on the pack are just great.

BLARG BLARGITY.....OMFG WHATS A WORD THAT IS BETTER THAN AMAZING?!?!? That is effing AWESOMESAUCETACULAR Freaking epic dude. I am lovin it

Well update time I pulled a cast from the toe lastnight and one from the heel tonight. after a little sanding on the edges I had my first pull ready.

A test fit and some black pirimer.

I started with a black basecoat and drybrushed several layers of metallics to bring out the detail and give it that worn cast metal look. I finished it out with some splashes and smudges of browns and a sealer. Then with some wood screws mounted it to my boot, Now I need to pick up some flexfoam for the final models.

Cheers!

Wow Privateer, you never cease to impress.



Is that WED clay you used for the sculpt?

 

[Privateer]

I used van aiken plasticina

 

[Harbinger]

Holy crap! Great work man, I never even thought of doing it that way! Looks like I'ma go get me some clay soon!

 

[Privateer]

Well he next stage of my build will be under way shortly, I have blocked up a stack of foam to start carving the next part. The boot mould is waiting on some flexfoam for the final models and the backpack is prepped and waiting on the silicone for the moulds. I also have started making the patterns for the ammo pouches and other soft parts. that will be sewn from denim and attached to the molle system of the costume. Updates soon guys and gals.



Cheers!

I thought about using floral foam before I found this site and pepakura but I could never find anywhere or sites that sold big pieces. Where did you get yours?

I just use the 4x4x8" blocks from hobbylobby or walmart and glue them together with foam glue from the same place. Hot glue works also but its a pain to carve across the seam.
