not sure what you mean but if you mean the visor its from a motor cycle lens i cut up.

Hyperballistik: So hows the mold coming out so far?

Its taken for ever lol. I might call you later on in the week so we can make some cast . Right now im making the mother mold and it should be done Wednesday not 100% sure but definitely this week.

*Update* Finished brushing on the plastic and started peping the arms pics later this week to lol.

*Update*

Ok sorry its been a while but hears what Ive been up too...

i finished the chest casted,primed needs some sanding but not alot (thank God!)

I also finished peping the right arm and almost done with the left

i also printed out the pelvis but haven't got around to cuting it out yet but soon tomorrow ill be working on the mold.
more pics tomorrow. Haven't decided on what color to make the suit yet??? any suggestions?

 

[Rangebro]

In my opinion a black and gold color scheme looks really good.

 

[Egam47]

wow man this is very clean work, very inspiring keep up the great work cant wait to see the final product keep up the great work!

 

[fsracer]

*BIG UPDATE*

Ok so first is i finished both right and left arms. and one night i discovered that my paintball arm pads hold the armor pretty well so i might skip out on buying under armor.

reinforced and primed

ok so hear is another idea i had, instead of cutting all the way threw the chest and having front and back, i decided to cut ony the bottom and add more reinforcement to the bottom with cardboard and plastic.

i also used the cardboard to make keys for a snug fit.

ok so i also cut of the collar because my head is to big to fit lol... so hears what it looks like without it.

and sence i cut off the collar i realized it looks funny without it so I bought some foam sheets and I found a method that you can heat it up and it will take shape of what ever you bend it to. so what I did was used what cut off as a mold and basically stretched it over like a vacume mold.

alos i peped the pelvis and one thigh but ill post when i get a chance to take a pic.

Just to stop further confusion on the part of readers I wanted to clear up some terminology for you.
What you are building is a called pep model, an original, or a "Master" not a mold.
A mold (or mould) refers to a container used to make the shape of the required parts or products. It works either by pouring or painting a self hardening material (such as plastic, fiberglass and resin, rondo, or plaster of Paris) into the container, or by pressure, or rotation there by producing a casting (also known as a pull, part, or replica) of the originally built pep model, scratch build, part, or "Master". Now that that's said, your armor is looking very good.

Thats the 8x11" sheets of that craft foam isn't it? cuz it don't look like the eva foam but looks like it works, Your catching up to me with my busa build, but now im building a reach set of armor at night when I cant do body work on the busa, but i'll tell you about it at the field

 

[LoneKiller1992]

Looking really promising!

I like the idea of using foam for the coller, good thinking!

Hope to see more

 

[Liamthedevastator]

Wow, this is looking awesome. What kind of foam did you buy?

I actually made a mold of the helmet and thats why this thread exist but threw out making the helmet i decided to make a suit.

[Sir Tsaboc]

Damn, that's looking good! Real good! Especially the torso, I'm loving it!

 

[Hyperballistik]

Yeah that deadline is coming up soon, Im sick as a dog and now I can't work on the busa suit, so that is going to slow down my progress, looks like all you need is the shins then you get all of the fun body work
