Odst Greaves

[Fearless Son]

Been a while since I last posted, but my armor work continues even if I am silent on my progress. I thought people might like to see some of the greaves that my father and I have made for my ODST costume, and how those greaves fit together. Especially since most of the armor plates we make we build out of wood, which seems unusual in this community. Enjoy!

I really like the idea of the locks you have on the knee pad. simple yet elegant...

Actually, the locks are not on the kneepad itself, but on the top of the greave. The kneepad is a seperate piece. We choose to attach it with screws because that will let us take it back off eventually, if we find a way of holding it to the knee so it can "float" a little more comfortably as my legs bend.

Excellent work man! I would love to work with wood in building my own but i don't have the resources or the time where i live...at least not now...Can't wait to see more great work from you!

 

[Capestranus]

Great Work!

You have found an excellent and simple system that works very well!

Ah nothing better than some armor made of wood. I personally can't stand pepakura so this is very exciting to see and gives me some ideas for the suit Im working on.



Good stuff sir, good stuff

Wow! Out of Wood?
Thats serious Craftmanship. Out of curiosity, how heavy is it?
