[spartan005]

nice looking good man. the only thing for advise from one ODST to another do your shins, thighs and core all out of foam will be so much lighter and comfy. but thats my 2 cents. if you want to see what i mean check out my build in my SIG.......... and welcome to the 105th ODST's.......

 

[SkullBoy13]

thanks for the advice and comment but uhm I dont know where to get some foams.

 

[spartan005]

NP but foam you can get at home depot, lowes, or harbor frieght and its like 15 for a set of 4 mats..... which is notbad and the photos of the shins are up now......

Yes, I also recommend using foam, it's a bit easier, quicker and lighter. A lot of people have been using foam a lot lately.
It's going to be revolutionary. Nah, jk. But it might....

Can you find any craft store near by? You might be able to find some black craft foam in there. Btw your Odst peps look great.

 

[SkullBoy13]

Oui! You pep fast!

This is a great start to your project, this ODST was my second armor project and It is way more user friendly than hardened SPARTAN armor.

CQ Shoulder by jimmy da moose

Awesome! So far you're the only other person I've seen use my shoulder. I have to ask, did you use the triangle middle piece from a different shoulder?

On a side note, how difficult is that AR? Its probably the same one I was gonna use, so I'm just a bit curious.

Looking great!

 

[SkullBoy13]

thanks man. well the mid part you were saying was from nightshade's shoulder piece so it would match my right shoulder piece
and for the AR it wasn't that hard, just a bit

Hi guys. i just got my self some resin and fiberglass tape
Resin

Fiberglass tape

Oh and is this(the holes) to big?

 

[Spitfire22V]

Yeah, that's not the fiberglass you're looking for. What you need is either fiberglass cloth (recommended) or fiberglass mat. It doesn't come in thin rolls like that, but in small packages where it's a large square of folded cloth/material.

Like this: Fiberglass cloth

 

[SkullBoy13]

waaaaa so you mean i cant use this???

 

[Spitfire22V]

No, I really don't think you will. I mean, what you purchased is for drywall reinforcement. Fiberglass cloth is more universal, but commonly used for boat and auto repair.

This is what fiberglass cloth looks like: Fiberglass cloth photo

Also, I'm not sure about your resin. I mean, it's technically a resin, but it's used for surface coating on tables, etc. Not sure how the viscosity is. I imagine it's more expensive than the regular resin used with fiberglass cloth.

Ideally, you want this: All-purpose fiberglass resin

 

[SkullBoy13]

well. there's just one way to find out, ill test it later after i get some latex gloves.
