Looks very professional! Well done!

I've been luck and made over $10 so far on my ref's. :) :love: @Doom Where did you get that animated graphic? Did you make it? :)

If someone needs one after Spartan-118 runs out feel free to use mine. :) Moola FTW

It is scaled for a 7' tall uberhuman so probably not... :)

The Hot Wire tends to not cut straight so take it slow and be careful.

It will smoke a little and the edges will be darkened by the laser but it won't catch fire. The Architecture students use it all the time to make their landscaping models.

I work at Arizona State University and in the College of Design we have 2 small laser cutters for styrene and cardboard. And a 3D printer. The 3D printer would be perfect to use but just the helmet would cost $600 to print... If I can find a software that can make cross sections I won't have to...

Well, I won't have to worry about cutting since the laser will do that for me. Clean and crisp. :) After I finish my helmet I might give it a try.

Hey everyone, I was thinking about making a weapon of some sort using cardboard and bondo. They key to the idea that popped in to my head is to make several pieces of cardboard the you sandwich together. Kind of like this (from the front): I III IIIII III I I hope you get the point...

I am trying a technique using Modge Podge and then Plaster Wrap over it. So far it is really rigid and light. Not sure of the durability though.

I'll try to find some of the models we made using styrene sheets and Tenax. If I can snap some pictures of the seams it might help to give you an idea. :)

Not if used properly. The key is to use a little squirtbottle. Seen to the left in the image. You only need a tiny amount where you want to fuse the 2 pieces.

I was thinking of Tenax. It will make styrene in to a liquid for a short amount of time. Enough time to let you put 2 pieces together. When it hardens it will be impossible to break the bond since chemically they are one and the same piece. :)

Using the "glue" (the name eludes me but I have a bottle at home if someone needs the name) strength wouldn't be an issue. It would be one big solid piece. If you need more strength you could always put 2 or 3 pieces like a sandwich it voila, one thick piece. :)

I was thinking of going the Styrene route but the Styrene is really hard to bend without deforming. The best thing about styrene is getting the proper "glue" that will make the sheets merge in to one solid piece. It's really bad for you though and I still have spots where it landed from working...
