Hello started this about a week ago but just decided to post it! I originally modified a pep file I found on this site but even with extra reinforcement it was still way to.....wavy?

Next I made a giant lazy susan using a large baring I am using on my R2D2 and attached the arm to the base piece of wood

couple things did not work as I intended I had put wax paper down (that tore off really fast) and I had used bondo brushes on my arm and that did nothing. next I started with my clay and tinfoil to make the shield

finally I got to the point where I was mostly happy with the shape so I peped out a star and smooth casted it. Then built up the base around the shield and filled any holes with hot glue

going to pick up some Thi-Vex to thicken up the rebound so it will stay on the star. probably will start to fibreglass the support shell today.
trying to decide how to do the straps on the shield, should there be one strap one handle ? or two straps ? and should they be riveted on leather straps or that braded stuff they make dog leashes out of ?. not to mention should I make them adjustable like a belt or maybe Velcro?
