Cherudim [ODSS] - custom kit [UPDATE]

I've had this 1/144 Cherudim for quite some time now all with the idea to do something more than a standard build. I came across some styrene sheets in a model shop which gave me the idea to get a bit more creative. I've seen the 'Seven gun" Cherudim and really like the extra kit it has although i don't have the required spare parts to create a near match so I thought about a half way design - borrow/mix some ideas from both > Orbital Drop Shock Suit is the result! (Also saw the trailer for the new halo spin-off game which helped!)

So far i've worked out the silenced main weapon and next I plan to work on the shield design

*UPDATE...
I'm pretty much done with the main weapon, turned attention to feet although not 100% happy with the outcome...may 'tweak' the parts, trim back a bit.
