ODST Build

[westley72]

How long did it take you

 

[Barroth]

If I were to have done this in one sitting from start to what I have now, it probably would have taken 6-10 hours

 

[Barroth]

I am using DaFrontlineTrooper's build for this. He has a nice tutorial up on youtube

 

[Noble 10]

he does and he is on the 405th

 

[Barroth]

so I got the torso done today...

 

[Barroth]

Made some minor adjustments to the torso to free up arm movement a bit more and got the two sniper shoulders made and added a small foam combat knife.

[Barroth]

Has anyone tried plastidip on their pepakura helmets? If so, what were the results?

 

[Barroth]

Well the only thing left to do now is plastidip and painting

 

[Noble 10]

what foam are you useing

 

[Barroth]

eva foam mats. the kind that has texture on both sides. I've been heat gunning the texture off of the black side. the colored side is a bunch of raised squares so it is harder to melt off. It is the kind sold in packs of 8 with 4 colors

 

[Noble 10]

did you sand the eva first befor plastic dip

 

[Barroth]

nope but its coming out well. I didnt have many horrible edges

 

[Noble 10]

unlike mine sadly mine as ugly edges

 

[Barroth]

I switched blades so many times throughout the build

 

[Noble 10]

i cut my finger well doing my odst

Looking nice! Can not wait to see how you paint it! hopfully you don't live in a wintery state (like michgan....) or it might be awhile (lol). good luck and keep up the good work.

I cut my finger twice, once for catching my knife when i dropped it, and the other for being careless.

 

[Barroth]

So I might eventually do something crazy... I might actually plastidip my helmet... but then again maybe not

 

[Barroth]

I did plastidip my helmet and if you are careful enough it actually comes out pretty well. the plastidip dried today and I painted a little bit. I will be keeping it as the jet black color that it is. the armor squeaks a lot. any ideas on how to get it to not squeak?

 

[MyrHerder]

Looks nice.
Is it piece on piece squeaking? Maybe try a thin strip of soft black foam on the back side of each overlapping edge.
