Halo Recon Rakshasa ODST

3D Printed from Thermoplastic Polyurethane, my flexible armor weighs just under 5lbs and is highly resistant to impact. My biggest flex against other suits is I can sit comfortably and sprint around freely.

It's taken me almost 2 months now. It's about 85% done, still have shoulders, neck seal, and am remaking the thighs to be bigger. I'll also be moving the kneepads into elbow pads, remaking bigger kneepads (maybe different style), and adding a midsection belt to fill the gap. I'm thinking about adding a vest to be more accurate to the armour core, but I also want it breathable and light. I trialed it at a 4mm heavy rain shower airsoft game today and it ran flawlessly. I thought I'd lose a knee since it's only lightly velcroed on, but luckily it was all good.

I had to borrow a buddy's airsoft rifle this game since I had issues with my own. But this has already been fixed and I'll have a much more complete setup next weekend.
