CARDBOARD SUIT - TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS

Hi, i'm totally new to this site, and was sent here by a friend. I've started making armour already but am hoping to get some advice from all you pro's.

I'm working on a suit of Kats armour. I made this yesterday, its cardboard and masking tape. I rushed a little due to excitement lol, but i dont think it looks to bad. If anyone knows how i can smooth it, that would be great, as its wrinkly due to painting the tape. If anyone knows an easy to get hold of material i can smooth it with i'd be happy to paint it again. its not the neatest, but for a 16 year old with some scissors and tape, i dont think its so bad for a first attempt. Feel free to comment :)

use bondo body filler. you can buy it at any hardware store and you can look in the threads to find out how to use it.

PS this looks great for cardboard!
 
Thanks :) and i padded it underneath by added layers of cardboard and filling the inside with screwed up tape. This kept all the parts together while i covered the outside. ^_^ But yeah thanks,.

nice job ^^

thanks :) i've bought some pva and powder filler, so that should do the job for getting a smooth finish. I'll keep adding photos. I'm doing it this way without using the pepakura, i judge it all by eye. If the materials i buy work, i'll post them as a cheap alternative ^_^
