Oh yes of course. I was going to fiberglass it and add lots of bondo for detail before casting the mold from it.

I picked up an ice tray that makes long ice bars instead of cubes for my camelback when I went airsofting. Thing stayed cold all day. :)

Frighteningly enough, your only real recourse here is common sense. 1. Don't point it at people 2. Don't make threats with it 3. Explain to those who ask that it's not real 4. Put the orange tip on it, whether with paint or tape 5. If the Cops show up, follow their instructions ("Don't tase me...

Considering nearly all of the weapons are bull-pup designs, I think a FA-MAS would be a better base.

Semper Fi!

Getting a body form of yourself would help greatly in this. >_>

A few other things to take into consideration if you plan on wearing it on a bike: 1. Aerodynamics could cause uncomfortable pressure in certain directions you'd have to fight with your neck, making it sore or causing injury, even at low speeds. 2. All your added material will break off if you...

Tough one. What ever you used, you'd have to seal it as the material you're making the mold out of might try and permiate the foam. Run some tests with spray-packing foam and I might give some spray-insulation foam a try. *shrug* When/if you sand seal it, it is toxic. Use a resperator.

What he used was taller. They're shaped like the letter C, and his foot is on top of the C. He just wrapped it in foam and material to make it look like the foot. Since the part making contact with the ground is directly below your own foot, they're extremely easy to use and stay balanced on...

I'll try some of that on wargaming terrain and see how it holds up.

Don't they have the same ANSI rating as paintball goggles?

Okay. I'm seeing a ton of threads on here from people wanted to know how to get started doing this. I'm one of them. But here's some advice from someone who knows just enough about this to really understand just how hard and difficult this can be at the worst of times. Okay sure, you'll...

Well that's the beauty of it. You can cut the pep armor up to make it easier to mold with silicone. However, after seeing the stuff on slosh/slush or whatever casting (Put a little of the stuff in, roll it around until it hardens, repeat to build layers and cover all areas), there's no real...

Bring on the paint on silicone! woot!

Won't that cause deformities though since it literally melts the stuff?
