hi everyone, this is my first post, i would like to say this is a GREAT forum, ive been looking through it for 4 hours, havent left my chair its that good!
anyway, i want to build a mk VI helmet (or possibly an entire suit if i finish the helm quick enough) for my year 11/12 design tech 3,4 class (for those not from australia its the equilivent of last year high school project that makes up your entire grade for that subject...)
i have basically an unlimited budget for this as the school will pay for some of the mats.
origanly i though i would make it out fiberglass, but theres alot of discussion about using clay, can someone tell me abit more about it? how does it harden, how long does it take to harden, how strong is it? ect..
can someone link me a guide to making an undersuit, or were i could buy something to use as one.
whats a good template? i read people used manaquins, i though i could use a bike helmet (a rounded close fitting one).
which is better fiberglass or clay, which lasts longer?
i have some experience with modeling, im a pro warhammer painter, so painting and chooseing a scheme will be fun for me
and does anyone know someware that i can get faceplates that ships overseas or is in australia, same with the clay.
does anyone know if adam has a guide on how he created his armor? from sratch? the paint scheme ect.. i thought his was the BEST looking set ive ever seen. (he should be working for weta on the movie)
these kind of questions probally get asked all the time, so if u dont feel like typeing anything u dont have to, or just post a link if u think it will help me.
