So here is my first build. After lurking on these forums for about month I'm hoping I've learned enough to do this right (it is Captain America's shield after all). Anyways I finally registered on the forum a couple days ago so I am actually in the middle of my project, here are some pics of the build phases I've gone through so far.
p.s. Oh yeah for some reason I had a brain fart and forgot to take pics while I was folding the shield, so the first stage is after I applied the first coat of resin to the outside.
I watched Stealth's tutorials on youtube while I was planning out the project so I used his method of getting the fiberglass placed with spray on adhesive before I applied the resin.
And finally after I'd applied the resin.
Well that's all I've got for now, hopefully I'll have some more pics soon after I smoothed the outside with bondo.
