I want to keep a few things in mind:1. i want lots of armor.2. I want a color scheme that may be able to reuse parts for an ODST costume should we get to see ODSTs during infinite's lifetime.3. want to make it out of foam or bought materials (like the BDUs) as much as possible. The wife is not keen on the bondo life. those things stated i decided to go with something closely matching the marine from this photo:[ATTACH=full]312353[/ATTACH]This marine has armored shins with very basic knee pads in his pants, one thigh plate (the other side is just a psitol holster, but i may make 2), the full chest rig (i may add the collar) shoulder armor and a helmet. for the helmet i at least want the main helmet portion with tac-glasses and a balaclava like the one below:[ATTACH=full]312354[/ATTACH] though i admit the heavier helmet is really cool. to be honest im terrified of the helmet and will be doing it last. i'll do the armor in black as the odst armor tends to be at least darker than the tan or green marine/trooper armor. and i have to admit i like those colorful camo BDUs. so now i have a plan lets but foam! i went to hobby lobby and by pure coincidence their "cosplay" foam was on 40% off sale so i bought one roll of 10mm, one of 5mm and one of 3mm to get started. its hard to believe i've started this up again but the next post should be about the process actually getting under way with printing and cutting out some templates!</blockquote>
