I've thought a lot about what the ODST vest would actually be made of. It's kind of hard to tell from the reference pictures I have from the actual games, but in the "We Are ODST" trailer for Halo 3 ODST it looked like a fabric MOLLE chest rig that they mounted the armor plates to (It's kind of hard to tell with the camera shaking all over the place). Anyway, I think your solution looks great. I did mine out of foam because I'm to broke to buy Sean Bradley's stuff.

Ohhhh ok so I just remembered that there was a behind the scenes thing for "We Are ODST"! It offers a little bit better view of the undersuit and the chest rig assembly.

Halo 3: Landfall is another great reference of real world kit. The suits are slightly different than the We Are ODST but A+ workmanship by Weta just makes me drool all over the keyboard.

Personally I like the "We are ODST" kits so much more, but the Landfall suits were pretty well done and they portrayed the ODST's perfectly! I dunno, there's just something to the "WAO" armor that just makes it stand out compared to other ODST kits.. At any rate, I've managed to attach every piece of the torso to my Interceptor vest here, so the back piece and everything else just sits perfect on the vest.

Everything that comes out of Weta Workshop makes me wish I wasn't a broke college student

Your cats would beg to differ...
Nice work, quite a time crunch, but you're almost there!!!
You'll surely have a papeesheewoosh result in the end!

Looks like you had a great time!! Armor looks fantastic! I would suggest doing some weathering, though. Weathering usually makes a prop look more realistic.
Funny thing is...Cortana is taller than you! xD....I see the high heels, but still....even without them, she'd be taller than you!!!

Oh I did plenty of weathering, to me less is more.
Doesn't show that much in the bright outside pictures.And yes my friend cosplaying Cortana is pretty damn tall, even without the heels. xD But then again I'm 175cm tall so I'm no Spartan that's for sure!
