1st Build ODST WIP

[Newbsters]

Painted the helmet. Waiting a day or two for the paint to harden so I can black/brown wash it. Then I’ll clear coat it and attach the visor. Seeing this beauty in all it’s glory has strengthened my resolve to work on this armor. Also glad I went with a Reach style paint scheme. I just love this blue and want to show more of it

I never get sick of seeing these beatifully crafted helmets. Really need to get my own ass back into gear and get back to it

This may be of interest to you, I modeled these a while back. Super quick and easy print.

ODST "Buck-le" STLs (the STL formerly known as Hip Hardware)

With COVID-19 having shut down my entire industry, I'm taking some time to improve my ODST armor. You can find my original build here: EVA ODST Armor WIP. I modeled this detail on the Halo 3: ODST hip armor in Fusion360 and I think some people might find it useful. They look to be mounts for the...

Grabbed my ring light and made a makeshift photo booth to take some proper photos of the helmet. I am obsessed

 

[CosplayInClutch]

looking good my friend, following this build, I love how crisp everything is.

Weathered the helmet some. Just gotta glue the visor in and it’s done. Also got the base for the undersuit top put together but haven’t taken a pic yet.

Haven’t posted in awhile. Been really busy with life. Anyhow, I templated out the sleeves for the undersuit using a long sleeve shirt. Drew on the shirt then cut it apart and transferred it to some paper. Will get these sewed up when I have the time.

I also sewed the base for the undersuit. Most of it won’t be visible under the plate carrier except for the neck area. Decided the grey zipper isn’t accurate enough, need to get a black zipper. I’ll post better pictures of this when I get it done

 

[Newbsters]

Sorry guys. I’m putting this build on hold for about a month to focus on finishing me and my friend’s Mando builds. Me and her are debuting our armors at the same convention and it’s in one month exactly. Will update as soon as I’m back at it. Keep it clean

 

[WhenInMaine]

Im loving the undersuit progress! Looking forward to your return!

 

[Newbsters]

Back in action guys. Spent this weekend getting the undersuit top done. Just need to take the sides in a little more and get the bottom edge hemmed

 

[Newbsters]

Just a quick update. Got the Battle Rifle mostly finished up. Just need to get the scope and sling for it. Used the same grey paint I’m using for the ODST armor. I think it replicates firearm parkerization perfectly and will probably be painting all my prop firearms with it from now on. Thinking about adding a suppressor and weapon light just to make it more “operator”. 3D BR file is from Two Penny Props on Etsy

This is all looking great so far! I want to do an ODST build after I’m finished with my Spartan build

How’s the helmet cast? Decently thick and detailed? I’ve been eyeing it for a while now. I already own an odst helmet from another maker, but this looks better proportioned.

Branfuhr’s ODST and visor are the best you can buy in my opinion.

Soft parts are pretty much done. Just need to finish the gloves and add the detail fabric around the knees. Moving on to the plate carrier now.

 

[Newbsters]

Small update. Got my thigh plate templates made. Gunna make these out of .125 kydex instead of printing them.

 

[Newbsters]

Hey guys. Been almost a year but I am still building this kit. I’m actually nearly done. I’m gunna post some updates over the next few days

 

[Newbsters]

First off, Gauntlets. The two darker grays are color matched to the in game color. The light grey I couldn’t get for some reason. I’m con crunching right now so when I get around to it I’ll do a repaint with the proper grays and also fix the print lines I didn’t get. All the 3D printed armor pieces are files designed by From the Brink Studios

 

[Newbsters]

Alright. The biggest part of this build so far. The thigh plates. These were scratch built from kydex. The detail pieces are printed. Still need to make the leather liners for it. Also the opening at the bottom is much wider that the game model cause I guess my legs are bigger than the in game ODST model? Ain’t been skippin leg day it seems . Side note, everything will be getting a black/brown wash and mud coating once all the armor is complete. I like to do that at the same time for consistency

Also. I printed and finished up an M7S. Files from Aguilar Workshop.
