looks good. How are you going to make/get a visor for the EVA? If you buy a see through visor, you'd still need to paint those green blobs on there.

The eva visor has been the topic for many discussions here, but it's certainly not impossible. I'd recommend doing your research and getting creative with it. My first thought would be that if you find something that would work really well for the visor, to try to modify the helmet file to accomodate the visor. (assuming that it still looks realistic) Best of luck!

P.S. I really like that magnum! The detail looks really good considering that it looks like you used cardboard!

you can buy plexi glass that comes in the green color, ive seen it at hobbly lobby more than once. creat a mold out of the pep file and use clay to create the finished mold product, put plexi on the mold, and throw it in the oven, ive used that method ONE time to create a really nice looking custome window for my Modded Dreamcast, problem with it is, you need the resources to Fire the clay hard, and you need to have really good skills with clay and getting it smooth enough so that there are no defects in the Plexi.

Kwameninja · Sep 2, 2008

it depends on the price of the plexi glass stuff your talking about
my budget is really low i hope to spend only 200$ on the project if thats possibe?

Yeah but you molded your helmet and you ordered the products.

Depending on where you live and everything, you can have a cast for 300$ if you do it normally.

But you don't have to mold it at all.

rvb4life · Sep 3, 2008

it'll still cost a ton of money regardless of molding.

i have 1 helmet bondoed and one fiberglassed, im at 100 dollars for just that. i need more supplies too.

if you can't find a lot of cash soon, you aren't gonna finish the suit.

wow really
i mean im gonna use pep.
im not gonna mold it or anything
whats the average price of bondo and fiberglass resin guys?

tlither · Sep 3, 2008

At Walmart I can get a gallon of bondo and a quart of resin for about 26 bucks. May be higher or lower for you.

rvb4life · Sep 3, 2008

same, and cloth and mat are the same price, at 5 bucks.

redragon74 · Sep 3, 2008

price listed in my sig. is chest so far

and im still doing work on it and it needs to be updated another i think 20 $s

mat or cloth for me is round about 4.50 or 6.50 depending if i get it at wal mart or HD bondo is bout 15 and so is fiberglass resin

that helm would be pretty slick

okay now i have abour 60$ i could get that most likely tomorrow

one more question do you have to show i.d. when buying bondo and resin like when you buy spray paint cause at my wal mart you cant buy spray paint under 18

DavidFarris · Sep 3, 2008

Dont mean to bring you down or anything, but if you want to make a quality suit that looks like the one it your reference picture, your gonna have to spend more than $200.

Kwameninja · Sep 6, 2008

Kwameninja · Sep 7, 2008

That looks great! Especially for cardboard. I wish youtube wasn't being gay to your video, though...

tlither · Sep 7, 2008

For cardboard and paper mache, that looks really amazing! Excellent job!
