So, most of you on these forums here probably watch the hit internet series "Red vs Blue" Amiright? Now I've been a follower of RvB for a long time, ever since their first season! I love Red vs Blue for what it is, and ingenious series using the best game possible for it, Halo. In season 7-8, the RvB cast started using CGI in their episodes. In the beginning it was rough but did the job, Now we're in season 10 and some of us are starting to think the have a Halo game that we don't. One of the coolest GCI fight sequences they have created was in season 9, during the heist episodes.
When I was watching the second part of that episode, there was an amazing fight scene between Carolina and Washington versus a Flamthrower-wielding ODST Insurrectionist. I'm going to be honest, that guy is Bada$$, which brings me onto my next point.
So I've been loking at all of these ODSTs that have been popping up and I see a repeated thing going on; They all look the same. Now not to say that they all look bad for being the same, the vast majority are just plain freakin amazing. I decided to go off the beaten path with my first Pep build (Also my first ODST) and do something BadA$$. If you haven't guessed it by now, I'm talking about the Flamethrower ODST.... Oh yeah. Id you don't know who I'm talking about, here's a video:

If you don't want to click on the link, here's a few screen-shots;
Now that you have the basic look of what i'm trying to achieve, let's get down to the basics of what I'm making;
1 full set of ODST Armor substituting the default shoulder pads for two of Mickey's
2 Commando shoulder pads
1 Flamethrower
1 Rookie backpack
several additions to the backpack to make the giant fuel tank
1 Jorge chest piece (default)
more misc pieces for looks and mounting.
You might be wondering why I have two different kinds of shoulder pads... if you look closely, on Roosterteeth's 3D model for the Flamer ODST, he uses Mickey's model of shoulder pads for vambraces/ hand-plates. That was another reason I wanted to do this model because it was so unique
So since I found that so interesting, I decided to start with Mickey's shoulder pads (also my first pep) and see how it finished from there, so, here's some first update photos for the ODST !!!
[Note: The first few updates will be wide-spread since I'm still working on the Juggernaut suit, when that is finished, things should progress much smoother]
Model is Jimmy Da Moose's: mickey shoulder
unfolded by: Me (Psquiddy)
First shot: first time pepping;
Next three shots: Moar pepping;
Final shots: Finished hand-guard (bicep mount) so far, as well as the joint that bonds the two parts together (upper and lower)
Not bad for a first pep eh?
Right off the bat I would like to thank Redshirt for all the information on future vaccuforming and pepping, and both IRONBLOODCROW and Jimmy Da Moose for pep files, thanks so much! Have a wonderful day, and stay tuned in!
Ya'll come back now ya hear?
