Re: UNSC army trooper foam build
Very cool. I like the detail you're putting into this. Can't wait to see it finished.

Nice. What are you planning to use to attach the armor to?
Im going to by a plate carrying vest. I don't really know what to call the vest, so I'll just sayit was the one detal force used in the black hawk down movie. I'll attach velcro to that and have the shoulder pauldrons and abdominal armor contact to that. I'll use a police rigging belt to attach the thigh pieces and the chest piece will slide over the plate carrier and velcro in the back.
Very cool. That's really smart to use something like that vest that is already made and not having to make something yourself. Besides I think that vest is going to add a lot more to the look of the armor once its all attached. Can't wait to see the finished look.
Interestingly enough, using a vest also makes this build closer to game-accurate as well.
Just one question, though - have you sized the chest to allow for a vest underneath? Because that particular style of plate carrier is fairly bulky in comparison to, say, a molle tactical vest.
Oh wow I'm actually doing almost the same thing as you, except I'm putting ONI tags on mine. It's based on when ONI units were issued Air Assault kits to defend the skyhook complexes .
But there's no records of this due to glassed planets having bad records.
