It doesn't embarrass, just inspires(hopefully). We are all on here just to share and help. And believe me, I did PLEEEEENTY of bondo work. Bondo work-a-plenty if you wil. The stuff really is wonderful....sometimes.

You do use an electric sander correct?

Haha, yes. Thats awesome.
Damn, you're good. You're onto me.
I use the vasoline method. I have been painting for years now, so I imagine that helps a bit.
Electric sander, sanding sponges, files, chisels, carving tools, scouring pads.
Here is a small update of the right shoulder. I haven't been able to do a ton as it has been rains like crazy and slinging tornados all over the place.
Here is after some sanding.
These are the foam inserts I made. I din't want to me with resin and what not for those pieces.
Here is it al together. Almost ready for paint.

Hot dam that is looking great keep it up man
What this thread is telling me I should just give up now because I will never be able to make a suit this amazing...
j/k. but seriously, you've set the bar really high.
In reflection on the feelings you've inflicted on me, I've learned a valuable lesson today: I just need to stick at what I'm doing and do it for me, not seeking approval from others. You've changed me. It's really beautiful. I think we need to hug.

Time for some more pictures! YAYYY!
Ok so here is the chest with the foam inserts. They're two piece and are attached with magnets.
Here is the right shoulder. The marks you see in the first pic are from me deciding to extend the two side "slabs". I was going to let them slide but couldn't do it. I had to make it more accurate.
It was finally ready for paint. I forgot to take pics of the top silver bit. But here's how I did it as it wasn't there before. I just glued some cardboard to the tp, fiberglassed it. Then added two more layer of cardboard to get weightless build-up. Resin'ed those then just bondo'ed it. You can see where I extended the two side parts. I will make that little bit that goes in the middle separate and glue it in.
So that's it for now. I think I'm going to start the biceps next. Yippeee!!!

Amazing. I just can't get over how well done the paint job is. You're very talented at that, since it has a very convincing look that's it's metal. Keep up the great work, very much looking forward to seeing this finished and worn!
