What kind of gloves are you using? Also how difficult were the forearms to pep? I have tried a few different files and they weren't to friendly for my skill, but i will keep trying. You have great work going on here and i will subscribe to your thread. thank you

For the gloves, if you search for full finger armoured paintball or airsoft gloves, you should find them.
These are the pair I bought on eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/250967508552?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

The forearms were not too bad to pep, just takes some patience. If you want to use the same file as me, I can send you a link to it, no problem at all. Thanks for tuning in

Here you go,
Bicep (This one is for the right side, just invert the pattern to get the left side):

Shoulder:

@Kroforce: Thanks dude I am indeed going to split the chest, I'm either going to split it completely and let it buckle into shape, or do a clam shell design.

@Mstruvmgc: I've been resining my helmet, chest, torso and biceps so maybe I'll make an update soon ;P Thanks for subscribing!

Not much of an Update, but I thought I'd share with you guys!

I resined my Helmet, Chest, Pelvis, Biceps, Shoulders and Forearms.

I went on a mini shopping spree and bought enough supplies to last me a while. Thought I'd share.

I resined my chest piece twice, fiberglass it next. I painted it because I had left over paint and wanted to get rid of the multi-colourness lol

Rondo'd the helmet, mildly sanded the outside of the helmet.

Tell me what you guys think! Thanks! :cool

@Cereal Killl3r, I see ton's of sanding in my future as well haha

@R3Dracoon, I sent a link to the helmet on your profile. Check your comments.

@The AR was a little tough to build. The hardest part is definitly going to be hardening it and making it durable. Thanks for checking in


- Does anybody have any tips on how I should fill in my Assault Rifle. I want it to be solid but not too heavy (Rondo). I need the ammo counter section to be hollow but solid because I want to be able to add in a working ammo counter with lights and all.

- I'm also wondering how to attach the Mark V shoulders to the biceps without them coming apart.

If anybody has tips for any of my current tips, feel free to contact me anyway and give me a hand

I try to minimize the mess I create from all the massive amount of work that goes into the project lol I try to just do sections at a time. You have to keep your work area clean hahaha

UPDATE

So, I got some work done on the helmet. I did a lot of sanding of course lol.
I taped up my visor and put it against the helmet and bondo'd around it and sanded it off to have a tight seal. It was a pain, but hey.
Added 3 areas to screw in the visor. I won't do it until the very end, but now I have that troublesome part out of the way. No photos of the inside.
Rondo'd some key parts like inside the brim and a part where I sanded through the first coat of Rondo so add some reinforcement.
and cut a bigger area for my head to fit through

Front view:

Side view: (visor is not pushed up against the helmet because it's not screwed in)

and Back view:

I'm going to paint the helmet with some primer to see some areas that I missed tomorrow since I can totally out of spray paint. I'll post photo's tomorrow night Thanks for keeping up!
