Tracker's Odst Progress

[TrackerXNinjaX]

Sorry guys for being off for so long, but the weather got crappy and I live in an appartment with very strict rules about their outside.
No armor forging was possible, except for the a. carmine helmet I tried to make and eventually stopped to work on cosplay.
Watch my progress!

ok there coming up for me now and nice work are you going to mold or use smoothcast to strenghten

 

[TrackerXNinjaX]

i'm using smooth-cast tomorrow to harden the pep, the resin and bondo.

 

[Spartan857]

Really nice work! Iam lookin forward to seein this done!

 

[hlomaster55]

Wow its lookin pretty good, keep it up. BTW i wouldn't try to make a mold of the assault rifle, that might be a bit expensive.

i'm not going to mold my AR in rubber. I will use the smooth-cast on it then fill it with great stuff and bondo anything else i want.

Is that the smooth torso by 1ManBattallion?

I'm filled with envy. Nice work, I want to see a fully complete Weta ODST; let's see which one of us makes it first.

Nice work so far, really looking forward to it. Good idea on the ODST, I really like that armour too!

Yea, thats the smoothed torso! Thanks for the words! We'll see who can do it first, and best!

 

[1ManBattalion]

Nice start mate, I suggest trimming in the collar and shoulder areas as so they don't cut you later or dig into your shoulders. looking forward to seeing your progress.

Sorry i have been off the thread for awhile......I've been working on the helmet. At first when i scaled it it would have fit a six year old very well. The second time actually would have fit a FIVE YEAR OLD better, if thats possible. The third time, i thought it might be too BIG. It actually didnt turn out that bad.
I finally finished the pep today and resined it this afternoon. Does anyone know how long it might take to dry?
Here are some pics of the helmet before it was resined.

Heres when it was resined

Tell me what you think, the helmet seems to be almost done drying already!
BONDO TOMORROW? maybe.

 

[TrackerXNinjaX]

Sorry guys about taking this long, please see first post.
My armor will commence and be my primary focus from now on.

 

[hlomaster55]

This may be a bit old, but the resin job looks pretty good! The only thing that may be a pain is cutting out that visor now,

you got a huge clump of resin there. Besides that it looks pretty great. keep up the good work.

 

[TrackerXNinjaX]

Thanks about the resin compliment!
The visor has been cut out and bondoed, check out the links.

 

[TrackerXNinjaX]

New progress.
Bondoed more of the helmet and used the Smooth-Cast 300 mix on the chest pieces.

Tell me how its looking!
When the whole suit is done I will be molding and casting copies for a group cosplay. ( Pistol, Br, and Sniper too.)

Its coming along. A little tip for you. you need to smooth the first layer a little more before adding your second layer. also go for lighter layers not crazy thick. But looking good.

Fellow ODST builder here (or at least, planning to be).

Did you use paper or cardstock to make the bucket? The 'problem' I see with cardstock is the small bends (since it's a hi-res model).

I need to get that sorted out before I actually start working...so an answer as soon as possible is greatly appriciated.

Nice work they are amazing.
