i just might do that. thanx. but it would still be great to know if anyone does live close. that way if some one has, say a vaccuform machine, i can see how that kind of thing works.

does anyone live in the dallas-fort worth area in north texas? i was hoping i could get with someone and get help making armor, since i have virtually no experience with pepakura or bondo or anything of that sort. simply put, i do belong in the n00b forum. (actually, the nUb forum sounds more...

alrighty then you've been a MAJOR help considering ive been wanting to do cnc for awhile now. much thanx to you im done for now, when i get some results i'll post em.

Thanx general mayhem. stickying this thread wouldnt be a bad idea LAST question (for now anyways) what material can the cnc cut? i know ive seen styrofoam cut and that 5 axis video had metal being cut, so what am i limited to generally?

NICE my friend!!! you are one lucky mofo having a dad that lets you use the cnc machine. im thinking about getting the rockcliff machine. its only 2axis right? and wat exactly do you need model wise to have the software make the cuts? what program does the model have to be in? yeah im a...

holy hell....... i need one of those.... bragging rights would be standard with any kit adam makes. :D i saw a similar site where a guy was wanting to do similar effects with his m-41a pulse rifle from the movie aliens... guess adam beat him to the punch HAHA and yeah, my summer earnings...

lol i wonder if he told his friends that "yeah guys i accidentally failed. it totally sux." that'l fly REALLY well with his friends. wonder how his parents took it.... :D but yeah, im prrty much just waiting for sumone to steal my avatar. ooooh i got a doozy of an image waiting for them.

that is NICE! didnt know the mc was like that with his ladies.... a great set of armor and i like the way you improvised the visor with a mountain dew bottle.

i stand corrected. my apologies.

thanks guys. i didnt want to make a piece of pep armor and have it collapse before my eyes trying to use it as a mold. to aobfrost: i figured that would be the case. im thinking about making a mold based off the pepakura pieces and using that. something tells me that would work better in the...

that would be awsome. please do let me know. even though it says member, im officially still a n00b....

ok, as most of you know, in vaccuforming, you need a mold for the hot plastic to take shape over. one question: after resining, could you use the pepakura armor as a mold? im just curious to whether it would work well or not. any answer is appreciated. muchos gracias

sean that would be awsome if you could put out sum pics. you kick ass. and thanx for the help you guys. as always, ur help is appreciated! now just to start actuall construction..... (im gonna need a job for that part though....as i am broke)
