Recoil's Odst Armour

[Recoil]

Well i have been working on this project since September 09. Hoping to have it completed for May 2010 so that i can attend some Cons coming up in the summer. Just a few more pieces to go, thankfully the warm weather has increased my production rate.



Take a look at my pieces and give me any advice. What i have yet to be happy with is the paint job. Any tips to make a more battle worn look is welcome.



Helmet











Forearms









Chest





Shoulder





Knees





Side Plates





so as you can see i still need to make 1x Shoulder, 2x, Boots, 2x Thighs(going to be the most painful), 1xBack



Any questions to the methods i used please feel free to ask.



Thanks

Personally, some of the best battle damage I have seen on the site is in this thread. It's really simple, yet looks absolutely brilliant. He gives good instructions on how to do it too.

Needs more sanding. And some Bondo to smooth it out wouldn't be a bad idea.

nice work, i agree though a bit more sanding would look nice. But good work, it looks great for your first Odst.

i should take some pictures outside. the items are relatively smooth. However i do agree so areas i kinda went over quickly. Since i do plan on redoing the paint i think ill do some more sanding aswell.

Hey it looks great, where did you get the knee pad files though?

Dont rush through your armor. More bondoing andsamding would help. Other than that great armor!
