yes i have been tasked by my wife to make her a mk V for her for comic con next year and was tryin to get every1's input on if it would be the easy or not of alll the armors.
 
hey the best way to find out how hard it is to build is to try it yourself cause something easy to me might be a whole diffrent story to you but hey good luck.
 
well im good with building models so i hope that will help makin this armor but it seems easy from lookin at it i think tryin to learn how to fiberglass and resin will b the hard part thats all so what suit would u advise to start with?

Start with something small to get the hang of things. If you have a beautiful pep helmet, and the fiberglass/bondo destroys it, you're going to be heartbroken at losing all that work.



Try out some low-def handplates, toe plates, something like that. Read up on fiberglass and the safety precautions for using it. A good place to start would be the elite forum - particularly this thread Read the whole thing - there's some fantastic information in there.
