hello all! ive been floating around the site for a little over a year now, and i have started my MK6 suite bout half a year ago. i have read and pulled alot of useful tips from many of the users, too many to count. i dont remember who make the files for most of the armor i used, but the helmet and the chest are from flyingsquirrel. most of these pics are from early march, i do have more updates but i have been too busy to get any shots. as of right now, i have rebuilt the chest, my first, which is in these pictures, was too small. i have also remade my shoulders (same problem) the pics are my new ones. i have also since remade the right forearm. what i dont have pictures of is i remade the chest and have finished pepping it, i have also finished my helmet, i will post pictures soon, but for now enjoy![IMG][/IMG]

Your pep work looks fantastic! Thanks for deciding to show all of us here, it was definitely a good decision. Good luck on the fiberglassing stage of your suit. I'm almost to that point with mine, and it's exciting.

I'm not sure if you've heard this anywhere before, but I was told once to use adhesive spray for part of the glassing stage. Just simple Elmer's spray glue, nothing too fancy. Spray the inside of the armor after you resin it, then put dry fiberglass cloth on it. This makes it easier to get in all the corners and is less messy. After that add some resin to fully harden the fiberglass. I haven't tried this yet, but it seemed to work very well for the one who suggested it.

Good luck with your project, and keep up the great work!

thanks to everyone for the props! coldevil123, thanks for the tip, i will have to try that on a piece and see how it goes! im actually not purely glassing it, im using a bondo/fiberglass mix. i really like it, i find it quite strong, but i really enjoy how easy it is to sand and shape and add more if i need to.

sorry for the double post everyone, got alot of pics to share. so, i finished pepping my chest. finished my helmet, want to replace the visor, and add LED's and maybe repaint it, but thats later down the road. also hardened the forearms thighs and shins, also did the hand plates, but i forgot to take pics, i will have some when they are finished. had some insanely good weather here in so-cal so i busted my butt to get as much done as possible. so enjoy and i will hopefully have more to come soon!

oh, almost forgot. the right forearm is a new one. and the vents on the helmet are different for function and i think, a better look. its definitely alot cooler in the helmet and the visor wont fog. love it! until next time!

Nice work, I mis scaled my shoulder parts, I was wondering what you used because that looks really good for size.

first, thanks to everyone for the props and the support! i havent been on it too much, weathers been poor, and finals are right around the corner. i have remade my shins, and i will have pictures once i get more work done.

Surr3nder, i will have more detail on my armor, i havent touched it because im waiting for my new visor to come in the mail, but once i get it, i will finish the paint job.

Largo Usagi, i measured from the top of my shoulder to the bottom of my upper arm. i drew a line straight across where my elbow crease is. then i just added an inch so the pauldron would look right. hope that helps.

thanks again for the thumbs up from everyone! i will have more pics up here soon, stay tuned!

Thanks for the tip, I am going to re measure mine and compare to see the difference, mine looks like they would fit some one who is 7+ feet tall

i wouldnt say they are large enough to fit a 7ft+ person, they just seem a hair larger, like 1-2 inches. though they may work perfectly when you get the chest finished

Nah those pictures where taken on an angle that make them look smaller than they actually are, when they are at a point where I can bend my elbow they extend over my ears. To top it off they sat in the garage and had some resin work done to them, the heat caused them to warp way out of shape so the are close to ruined and aren't worth salvaging due to their over sizing. Ill just have to get it right this time.
