Well I know its been a while but here's about two weekends of bondo work photo's

Here's what my bondo work is at now

The bad thing about messing up on a pep is you have to use so much bondo

it weights 4 pounds
Also got a new printer from Fry's

IT'S PEPING TIME!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like you spend a lot of time pepping your pieces, and it really shows! I really like the detail on the forearms. Since I live in Michigan and I can't fiberglass currently, I was thinking of making those with foam, but I have no idea how I'll get that kind of detail. Keep up the good work! One question though, after everything is said and done, how to you plan to rig the armor together?

Thanks the trick to doing the forearm is to do the detail part first and work your way out sadly I didn't do this with the first one I did so its got a messed up shape so I have to redo it

my plan for rigging it together is to use the best thing possible faith, trust, and pixie dust...... I'm just kidding

my plan is to use nylon straps and clips that I got at Joann's fabric store and have all the parts connected to each other. Sorry to hear you can't resin do to the weather in Michigan, if you have the right equipment and you have a garage you can close it up and get it warm enough you could be able to resin but you need a good respirator. If you do this DO NOT USE A FLAME BASED HEAT LIKE A PROPANE TANK HEATER FIBERGLASS FUMES ARE HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE!!! So no smoking

if this way isn't for you then you can use apoxie resin which is non toxic and you dont need a respirator for but it ain't cheap

so hope I kind of help you out with your resining problem. Thanks for the input I plan on resining this Sunday so we'll see how that goes I'll upload more pictures as the come along

hey all just a quick update almost done with all the ODST chest asset file I'm down to the side plates and I'm now using hot glue which I have to admit is a lot easier to use than super glue so if any of you that use super glue see this forget the junk and use hot glue it takes way less time and you don't get stuck to your armor
