ODST Rework

[zSmiley]

Momocon has come and gone while i was there i realized i really wasn’t loving the paint job on my ODST

Spend the morning sanding everything down and now we’re working on a black a d gold paint job with some extra bits added to it

Yesterday i finished the black coat as well as sanding to get this paint job underway

I got the helmet ready for paint. also somebody in the discord was asking what’s the best way to cover more area while painting and this is always been my method

My gold spray paint ran away and all hope was lost till it decided to come back and let me finish this project

I installed the visor to see how it looks and let’s just say one ready for the rest of the armor

Appreciate it! My buddy does my printing i’m pretty sure they belong to moesizzlac. As for the CMN i was actually given to me by another halo cosplayer who didn’t need it so i have no idea who modeled that one.

Hey guy i’m back with another update. A big thing i wanted to do was fix some of the problems i was having with my odst while wearing it. The shoulders were causing me big problems a main thing that I noticed was the strap I was using were too thin and the way that Andrew DTF Set up the strapping work on the ODST you can’t take the shoulders off of the armor unless you add a buckle so that’s exactly what i did. I also added some straps for the aesthetic of making it look like the armor was being held on by buckles.

Next problem that I had was believing that I could hold the shoulder on with just a simple piece of Velcro and the Velcro on the shirt. I found it the armor came off too easily so I finally added the bicep straps to the shoulder pieces

The last elephant in the room that I needed to fix was the fact that I wasn’t a huge fan of the completely gold chest piece. I thought it was maybe too much gold which is a weird thing to say because who could have too much gold…. Anyways I painted some of the pieces black

That’s all for now. The goal is to have this done and at Atlanta Comic Con so i’ll keep trucking along.
