So hey guys I started my first armor build, I think I've been wanting to build one for the past 10 years, but was always to scared haha. Anyways after working up the courage and many hours of youtube I think I'm going to be okay. so I've started last weekend on my ODST Armor scratch build using EVA foam, Harbor freight sells a 4 pack for 9.99 great price.
So I started with the abdominal pieces first, some of the slanted edges gave me trouble so I just hit with some modeling paste. Also was able to get that infamous chest plate finished, and completed most of the torso. Gave it a good 3 coats of plastidip and finished painting the chest plate, not sure if I want to go with those colors or design so any feedback would be awesome.
I apologize for the lack of shirt, it was laundry day...
So I gave the abdominal pieces the plastidip treatment and stacked everything on where it will be.
Hopefully I'll have more done by the end of the weekend, and more to post. Anyways any feed back is appreciated, being my first armor piece I'm still a little uncertain if I should still continue with this project. Also forgot to mention, tried making the helmet, on my third try I gave up and got in contact with Sean Bradley he is a great guy and has set up his new shop so he is back at it again, was able to get myself a Dutch Helmet kit. So hopefully that comes in soon, and if anyone has done this kind of build before wanted to ask what grey paint was used for the majority of the armor? Was hoping to get a answer on that by this weekend when I start painting it.
Thanks Everyone
