Looking pretty good so far! Your pep work is very neat and very solid. Not many people do the fiberglass route (to my knowledge) anymore, so I'm excited to see how your costume build progresses

Progress has started on the chest piece again.
And i have primed my helmet.
and installed the visor and sealed the gap and put a second coat of prime, a bit got on the visor under the masking tape but I'm pretty sure nail varnish remover or white spirit will get that off.
Sorry about the sideways pictures. now i just need to find the right colour for the primary colour and a matte clear coat.

Definitely subscribing to this! I'm building this same suit and I'm trying to figure out how to install the visor. I might use the sake method you used. Seems easier than heating it to bend it. Keep up the good work!!

i just pushed it against hole and used hot glue then epoxy putty to seal the gap, Means that its not replaceable but it was easier and i didn't have the means to attach screw holders and stuff, (lack of easy supplies in rural England) and i also cut the visor a bit too small by accident.

I was wondering if anyone can help me, my plan is to wear this to RTX2016, which means i need to take it with me internationally, i would like to know if anyone else has done this and how it was achieved, and if they needed to do anything special. thank you for any help. More pictures are in their way soon.

Living in the UK, and having had plenty of experience with travelling internationally, I'd recommend the following:
Get a large, durable plastic container. Pack your gear in with decent-quality packing foam, make sure it's all held in firmly before sealing it up. And expect to pay a fortune for the excess baggage - a full costume, packed up, will likely take up a 1m square crate, easily.
Also - slap a declaration as to what's in the box, otherwise customs will tear it apart if they want to. Make sure you declare your items and state CLEARLY that it's delicate work.

sorry i haven't updated in a while. Holiday and family stuff. I have passed where i was with my old chest piece and am now pepping the thrusters. I have done a couple layers of resin on the forearms however when i went to fibreglass them today it started raining. i have also fibreglassed and primed the hand plates and i am rondo-ing the knuckle plates as it is quicker and easier to do than having to fibreglass each one.
I have cut the a whole in the back so i am able to get inside to harden it. then when it is hardened i will glue it onto the chest piece.

Looks great so far! I seriously think this suit will be the best suit on the 405th once it's completed. Keep it up!!
