Satsugai ODST(pic heavy)

[Satsugai]

I do agree it needs more sanding. My time is running out, so I rushed the sanding stage. I usual take my time, but i want to have a complete costume for youmacon. Another reason why i rushed my armor. My work give me more hours than usual, then i realize that someone has quit. So i have less time working on my armor. I will go back on those pieces and fix them after youmacon/halo 4

Amazing armor. You used the same files as me, same paint and everything else. But.... Yours fits. No matter how I scaled mine, It didnt look right. Lol!! On a huge not, very lovely armor.
Im extremely impressed. Cant wait to see the final product.
Maybe it;ll give me courage to try another ODST.... Thanks!

Looking awesome mate keep going!

Ok, I red the whole thread from the beginning and, from now on, you are my ODST armor master. I'll redo everything following your steps.
A question: in gr/cm2 what paper you used? I'm asking that because many pieces result to have annoying valley between one edge and another, especially the chest plate which I made already twice + my wife one's and I'm about to redo. Did you use any technique to avoid that?

Latest up date looks great. You're getting there

 

[Satsugai]

ODST Master? Not quite too sure on that. I used 110lb card stock, 198.89 gsm. As for the for the valley folds for the chest plate, i have no problem with that piece. I did take my my time in scoring and folding each piece so i will have a nice clean chest plate. Hugh suggest using butterfly clips to help assemble pieces. Which helps alot. I find it nearly impossible to put the chest piece together without them.

So anyway I started to paint the shoulder pieces and it turn out pretty well for a rush stencil job. I will added ODST letters under the logo after it dries. A Special THANKS TO carpathiavh99.

Awesome. So how do's the whole thing look all together now I can't wait to see it. :cool

 

[herotrooper]

Great work dude. Love the ODST logo. Keep at it!

 

[Satsugai]

Well My other shoulder piece orange peel(right one), I manged to save the stencil work. I thought i have to re-do the entire paint job, but it just need minor touch ups. Forgot to take pics of the orange peel. Good news my Sean Bradley Odst gloves kit came in yesterday. I hope to get the shin and forearms done this week, got a few days off finally.

Looks awesome - I like how you incorporated the tattoo design into your armor.

That's a sweet ODST armor man, I like the detail you've put in it, especially the blood type.

 

[Skullptura]

The standard has been set.

 

[Satsugai]

Working on the strapping system today. Making sure everything is mounted properly. Full armor pic will come soon, after I finished strapping system. Got 4 days left for youmacon.

The shins i rush. I wish i could have done more sanding on them, but you gotta make due for the time you have. I have to cut into back of the shins. For a few reasons, 1. Its hard to climb up stairs, 2 I couldn't sit down properly without the back of the shin hitting my back of my upper leg.

 

[Jason 078]

Even with the rush job on the shins, that looks awesome. Those gloves are something else, too. They look similar to a set one of my guys wore on deployment (he was a scout).

Love the shoulder ODST logos makes it that much better!

 

[Satsugai]

1st test fit of the full suit. Need to fix the Shoulder from sliding around.(Spinal cord will be added on latter to the shirt latter) NOW Pics!!!!

 

[thorn696]

Looks awesome. See you in a few days:cool

 

[ZMX]

Looks awesome! For the shoulders, I see that you had put a clip underneath the chest core, which is what I did for mine. It does the job real good to hold them in place, but you gotta have some help to clip 'em ahah ;-)

 

[waco]

looks great! My only complaint is the lack of the camo on the thighs and gaunts, but I think your kit looks fantastic without it

 

[Satsugai]

Thanks, glad you like it. As for the camo on the thighs and forearms, I couldn't find camo patterns i like or looks similar of it (i might free hand some camo on it latter) Attached the buckle on the shoulder, doesn't slide as much now. (reason why i didn't attach buckle to shoulder piece. I want to make sure they have enough room to buckle it) I took more pics today.

I know what you are thinking, where's his AR? Well I took that apart to install the electronics, that was about a week or two ago. Its Alot harder than it looks. I thought it would be easy. Learn something new everyday. I should had paint it and install the electronics after youmacon/halo 4. At least i got a knife and a pistol . (Thats cool right?) I'll post the progress of my AR latter. I hope My Socom M6C from Tactonyx Studios comes soon. 2 days left for Youmacon
