thanks! awesome. I'll be heading out to grab one this weekend !!!

since I'm currently running an apple computer. Would picking up a netbook be able to handle the pepakura designer program and save PDO files!? i just don't want to drop a lot of bucks on a PC labtop as I have an MacBook Already.

yes, totally sithslayer. ENDWAR has limited my productivity at work due to many a nights spent battling til the wee hours of night...If you got XBOX live let's meet up and play a match or too. my gamertag is on the first link !!!

where'd you get that /\ action figure !!! that's amazingly close to what i would be shooting for...

I actually have some spare owens corning insulation, aka polystyrene. but i had problems cutting and shaping it, i was using an exacto and a mouse with some 180 grit. It didn't leave very smooth edges...Are there some specialized tools that work best for that, that I should be investing in?

another thing I think that captured my attention when young was that I made model airplanes with my dad and the veritech valkyrie figthers all looked eerily similar to a F-15 Tomcat, which was my favorite airplane model I ever built. haha. i affixed the link to the page...so it should be good.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ptn/new.images/ArmorWeapon/index.html here's what I'm talking about, scroll to bottom of page. Also this is a great resource for some drawings and reference for any other project robotech related you might want to start and i believe what Amancue described is exatcly...

So i have been playing EndWar for awhile on xbox live(gamertag Deee Jayyy) and i noticed that someone could make the soldiers in the game relatively quickly. it's mostly a Halo marine look with a more futuristic helmet and weapons. I don't know, if someone has done that yet but maybe this summer...

wow. much appreciated. this actually answered a lot of my questions about undersuit materials ! hats off to ya sir.

i just want to say that this is amazing. I pumped out a H2 helm and thought it was pretty slick, then i went around here after i finished and realized that it really wasn't even worth posting. I can't wait for summer break when I may have some time to get back into making armor. thanks for the...

wow, i just ran through this whole thread. and i sir, am jealous and flabergasted at your attention to detail...mine doesn't even come close and i thought i would be done in a few weeks, i guess i better head back to advance auto parts and get more resin and bondo to start a new version...i...

i found a nice motorcycle visor that should do the trick...i haven't hung it yet but just roughin it it looks good in the helm...check the link, http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/mag8shields, if its not dark enough for you, you could put some automotive tint to it to get it to your likeness

yeah, i was looking a few weeks ago before i got a job...Imagine that, being unemployed in such an amazing economy with a bachelors degree ! hahah, but now i bought a motorcycle shield so i scrapped the 3 failed attempts i tried with those "non-UVA/UVB protection" visors... HAHA, they are all...

another tip, possibly is to use a few worklights. i have a stand with two 500 watt halogen bulbs and that really pumps out the heat, try maybe to warm the resin(room temp) before mixing and im currently working in my unheated garage in the Upper Peninsula of MI which, it snowed this morning with...

this may be more of what you are looking for to mod into a ODST pistol.... http://www99.shopping.com/xPO-Walther_Air_Soft_P99_Pistol
