hey guys ! so its been quite some time sense i posted in the veteran section. but i feel its time to bring my build back haha. so i just have two pictures for this post, but once i get back home (i'm at university) i will take a picture of everything together up to that point. as i slowly work on the rest of the pieces i will also post pictures... though i sadly still have yet to figure out how to update an older post and have my whole thread get shuffled back to the first page... is there even a way to do that aside from posting a whole new post ?



anyhoo... PICTURES !

Lookin' good so far, Tiger!

 

[Adam Anderson]

looks nice great job are you fiberglassing it soon?

 

[Outlaw Tiger]

Lookin' good so far, Tiger!

haha thanks. i have both shoulders, both forearms, and the helmet also built and in different stages of finishedness... like the left shoulder is glassed, but the right shoulder is only resined, and the helmet is glassed as well, but they are all being stored at my house while i'm at university (i live with my parents during the summer... its WAY cheaper that way) so they don't get ruined.



EDIT: adam anderson: unfortunately i live in NB canada... and we are WELL past summer here. at the moment the temp outside is 0 (Celsius), so i have to hold of on any fiberglass or resin or bondo till next summer (though it DOSE give me time to build the rest of the armour pieces haha)

I've heard of something called a curing box. It allows your resined armor bits to cure even when it's cold outside.

you can always use the snow for added insulation for the curing box, just pile it on top lol

hey humboldt_spartan, thanks



and a quick update... the past couple days i have been fighting that damn H1N1 virus (some retard on our swim team had it and decided he wanted to go for a swim even though he was supposed to be locking himself up in his own room), so i went home to get myself away from the sickies on campus, and was able to take one picture of everything together so far.



here it is:

hmm, now that i look at the picture... dose it look like the helmet is to big for the chest piece... or am i just tripping out ?

 

[DylanMarx]

ok, so i know this is a double post... but i have yet to figure out how to modify an old post so that it will bring this thread back to the top/first page... if anyone knows how please tell me



now, that having been said... have some SMALL progress to post.. built the size tester for the COD piece... i'm thinking just the TEENSYEST bit too small, as i had to splice in a small scrap piece of card stock on the side, and staple the two halves together (for the picture). so i'm upping it to a height measurement of 30, and the piece was at a 29.1. i figure a 30 will give me enough room even when the fiberglass is in and all the strapping and whatnot is installed. take a look at the two pictures and tell me what your think (even though its a size tester, comments and constructive criticisms are always welcome



[attachment=13725icture 004.jpg]

yeah, never mind the one different colour spot on the front of the COD, i accidentally ruined that section when i was cutting them out, so i had to make some 'repairs' with some of my scrap card stock lol.
