Hey there LilTyrant, gotta say, your first build blew me away, and this one is looking like it will raise the bar even higher. I've been a long-time lurker (not stalker tho...LOL) on the 405th and only had 1 build thread, which I had to abandon due to health issues, but I'm getting back into it...

I guess I'll be the first to post a few pics of this backpack as a WIP...beware, this build is not for the faint of heart. And just to be clear, I omitted some details of this model to add later in foam, just too intricate of a pep for me, but it is a beautiful model, but a few peices...

@ Thorn - Thanks man, I know it is a labor of love that won't happen over night. I have to constantly remind myself to be patient. I didn't mean to insinuate anything with my question about the helm, I just didn't see anything in your armor thread about one. I didn't know if you already featured...

Thanks alot Thorn, your kit is awesome. Hopefully mine will come close to that level. By the way, have you made a helm for your kit yet?

Awesome build as usual Thor, I really enjoy your well written and very descriptive posts. Your posts are giving me the courage to jump into the sculpting and molding world. One quick question tho, is the book you mentioned "Thurston James Theater props handbook"? edit: Actually, I bet it is...

Will this also work on fiberglassed or rondoed pieces?. I left some of my armor in my van when I went to a friends house and I noticed when the pieces got hot, they were softer, but I didn't try to hold them in another shape while they were still hot.

Actually, it's going to have a drain screen insert, just for additional detail...LOL (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it...;-)

Update, part 2 Sorry about the double post, but the forum only allows 15 pics per post. Here are some pics about the details of the hardening process I used... The inside of the helmet. I have some more pouring to do, mostly around the faceplate area. Not sure if I need to smooth out the...

Update!! This time with pics...;-) Ok guys, here are the pics as promised...(don't know why I couldn't edit my last post to add them... Starting from the bottom and working up... Not very happy how this turned out, may end up as a rebuild...;-(...

Wow, has it really been nearly 3 months since my last update?? There has been progress made, but I haven't taken many progress pics. I have most of my armor hardened now, I was saving the chest for last as that is the largest and possibly hardest to get right. I used a combination of rondo and...

First off Calladar, EPIC build. It is the best carter I've seen yet. My first question concerns the Ipod setup. I'm doing the same thing for my build, but I noticed that if I mount the Ipod inside the addon piece, the top button of the Ipod isn't accessible. Did you address that at all in your...

Just a quick note to everyone on this thread, the work on my undersuit stalled due to my work schedule, but here is the plan... I am using a base layer of wicking spandex leggings and long sleeve shirt. I wil be adding to it a bike shorts-type of garment that I am making, and then a vest that...

I'd just like to say thank you Jico for posting these models, whether or not they are LD game rips or not. They are helping me immensely with my undersuit project as well as being able to look at the game skins in 360 degrees for reference. If anyone is interested in my unfold of the male...

Thats true, but this one's for me...;-)

I just hold up the piece to light and sight through the piece to line up my ruler.
