Aaaad now i hate myself. I seem to have now misplaced both my hand pieces and thus will have to make two new ones! good news is that even though the weather is cold, i have a heat box method without using a box! i just used one of those heating fans and put it in my garage with the door closed! works like a charm! even for painting!
Time for a second progress post!
As you can see, this first pep attempt with my forearm turned out to be an extravagant mess. we had to scale down quite a bit.
After it was scaled down, I was able to put it with the rest of my finished pep-work. all this pep-work was almost immediately scrapped due to it all being crap. The quality was because I used probably the worst method of pepping and gluing that there is available, hot glue. also, now known as the satan glue. unfortunately, I cannot currently post the detailed pictures of the crap because I cannot find my camera cord. So this will have to do for now.
At this point, I began obsessing even more. To the point that i started drawing this...
Here is an pic of my original pepped helmet that I re-pepped about three times. As you can see, I had just cause for scrapping this one.
I was very fortunate that Carpathiva99 was kind enough to provide me with these files and I will be forever in his debt. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was doing. An example of why hot glue is a bad thing. (Don't laugh at my crappy sharpie art.)
Did I mention that I made another horrible mistake with this helmet? I was using 80lb cardstock. That is not nearly enough pounds...
Anyway, here is a picture of a newly pepped codpiece that I am still convinced is too small for me.
And last but definitely not least in this post, is how clever I am when I took a picture of me in a doomed practice chestplate. But as it looked like it fit me just fine, I deemed this practice a success!
Anyway, that foes it for me in this post, I shall see you all for my third post!
