Did you only use one layer of fiberglass on the inside? I honestly did not see any fiberglass at all in your build. Is it going to be strong enough?

It's there, trust me. I put 3 layers in the arms and about 6 in the cod piece.

Now for quick reference _ _ _ _ _ _is a mountain fold where the line will be folded like /\ and a valley fold _._._._._ will be folded like \/

Hope that helps. Before you fold use an xacto knife and score the lines without cutting all the way through the paper.

Im about to split the front and the back torso but after looking around at various projects Im still confused as to how to attach the two when they are on me. please make suggestions ASAP. Thanks.

Thanks to my wife she suggested i get some small hinges from home depot and hinge the top and clip the bottom.

thanks for the complement. Just got back from Chipotle. They were having a 2 bucks for a beritto if you wore a costume so i wore the helmet and all i have to say is i felt like the paparrazi was there with all the flashes going off lol.

Here are the upper arms. The chest will have to wait till I can split it tomorrow.

I used Adam Grumbo's method of the dollar store reading lights. Great idea and the effect is wow!

I finally put the chest the upper arms, one fore-arm, gloves and helmet on. Im sure it will looks toatlly different with everything on but here they are for now. Mine is more like what Adam has then anything, in the way his is simple to put on over all.

Thanks Longshot.

Thanks Saint. After looking at my pictures the fore-arms seem small or too low?
