Okay, so I haven't been online for a very long time for a few reasons. Just a side note, I am NOT new to armor building, and I only come on here when I need help or want to see something awesome.
1. I made my own ODST build, but my damn little brother forgot to mention it to his friends, so they dove right onto the bag of card stock armor I had pepped. A$$. That old armor will be an example of how the armor starts, the fragility of the pieces before coating, and will be tested on before using any equipment since it is already f***ed up.... pardon my language. Please don't boot me.
2. I've started a NEW armor build and it is a custom build where I researched every piece I wanted and even had to settle for what I could find. Attached is a rough picture below.

This is just what I've settled with.
Here's the list on piece concerns. Please refer to the posted picture in the last post.
First, there is a UA/HUL piece on the helmet I built.
Second, a Kukri will be placed on the left shoulder (I’m right handed) and a second knife will either be placed under the left/right ribs. Let me know where you think it should be.
Third, I was going to do a Tact. UGPS on my left forearm, but that’s if I have time.
Fourth, I couldn't find a trauma kit file that I SO badly want on there, so unless I’m pointed to it, I’m stuck with a Hardcase.
Fifth, at first I didn't want to do the CounterAssault chest, but I got over it and chose to make that piece clip on/off when I need it.
Finally, the colors are only a test. I'm likely doing darker colors than that, and I will put up another post on what 2 emblems I’m thinking of. And yes, the suit is female... since I’m a chick. Let me know what you guys think, and PLEASE refer me to a Trauma Kit pep if there is one.... pretty please?
And finally (really finally for now)... Resource help! The visor is supposed to be black, and I wanted to go with a custom visor. Does anyone know if I can go to a motorcycle shop and ask them to cut a template if I bring one in? The shops I need must be around Stafford, Virginia or somewhere close. And instead of pepping weapons (aside from the knives), I might go out and buy me a crossbow… :3 I would also like to know a few good websites/stores that offers cheap bondo and resin only. No fiberglass, I'm going to try using plaster cloth on the inside and will coat both sides of the armor with resin when it dries. Help me out, please!
Oh, and btw, if you want to see a weeeeee bit more about me, I copied the "Introduce Yourself" bit I responded to. It's after the "Cheers". Feel free to check out the page and leave a message.
Cheers!
