Hey Everyone,

This will be my first WIP thread for my first set of armor. Just so everyone knows I dont have a finish date, I'm just gonna work at it as I have time and money, and the know how. I want this set of Armour to last and look good so as such I will be taking my time as to do it right!! Any help is always appreciated. Everyone on this site has been very helpful and nice, and if I can help out anyone else along the way I will do my best to do so.

That said, lets have a look at what I've got done so far and tell you what I have planned for the rest!

Started on noble 6's helmet first. I am doing the "Mk.V (Mark V B Variant by jtm1997 - mkshane81" as this one is the on I liked most of all the other noble 6's pep helmets. However it does seem to be the HD version and being my first pep its definately a challenge. I hate the little pieces I need to fold with tweezers!! lol

P.S. this is really my first time using (not reading) forums so if I have some technical issues bear with me!

So thats where I've got to.

I'm almost done the helmet and have been doing research on how to resin and fiberglass. As I live in a climate that is starting to get too cold to use Bondo resin outside(Kingston, Ontario, Canada). I think that I am going to be going with the aqua resin method as I have no garage or and place to resin that is well enough ventilated. I have some questions about it to anyone who has used it before:

1. Can you use regular fiberglass cloth with it or do you need to buy the Aqua Vail?

2. Do/Should you seal you pep before applying the Aqua resin?

I have read Skullcany Girl's thread where she is testing the Aqua resin and people in that thread were saying you can make a bondo replacement with more powder added to the mix. I think it was a ratio of 5:1 Powder to liquid.

So question 3 is: Can I do a 5:1 ratio or is there a thickiner that you can buy that works better?

4. This is a question for anyone that buys their aqua resin from Sculpture Supply Canada in toronto. Do you need to call ahead and have them hold some or do they have a steady supply, as I will be in toronto this weekend and would like to pick-up some?

Anyways, I hope to be getting the helmet done in the next 2 weeks max. Any help or suggestions are always appreciated. Lemme know what you think.

Thanks,
RangedAssassin

EDIT: Just noticed but sorry for the messy office pics!!! LOL

Wow! Such nice pep work, very clean.

I am amazed at your post, I just started the same helmet from jtm's model and will be using Aqua-Resin to harden it. (Getting cold and damp here in Washington and I will be working in the house).

I'll be following your post to see how it all pans out.
