1st Build ODST Build

[haserd2]

Hey folks!

I've been lurking since 2011 and tried off and on to make a build, now I have the proper time on hand to finish a suit.

I started printing the suit back in march and have gotten pretty much everything ready for priming and painting. ill be following up with proper updates but for now ill just be photo dumping some pictures of the assembled chest and helmet.

The rest of the armor is printed minus the boots. Ill be following up with updates as more progress is made.

Set up a painting and priming booth with my older printers enclosure, makes painting outside perfect now
I managed to get the helmet and visor buck almost completely sanded down and primed for painting today. there's still a few problem spots that ill need to hit with a tiny bit of Bondo. I'm hoping to start getting the base gray paint down tomorrow.

I need to make a paint booth so bad. Im absolutely gonna get charged for paint damage on my apartment balcony floor

highly recommend a 3d printer enclosure, its been working absolute wonders if you cant get a typical painting booth. Ive been using this one meant for a lk5 i never use anymore and that works great.
