You're getting there, keep at it.

If you lay enough layers of resin on the outside of your pep....and then were to cut it in half, it "should" hold it's shape. Though I wouldn't be the one to try it. LOL I would never do that with the helm, though the rest of the armor, perhaps you'd be ok.

MLC, What is it that you are using? Fiberglass Mat? I haven't seen Fiberglass cloth that's ever looked like that.

Well MLC, your stuff certainly is the most professional looking stuff I've seen on this forum. Excellent workmanship, can't wait to see everything. Do you do this for a living? I noticed you said you had fiberglass workers? I'd love to do nothing but this kind of stuff everyday, you're quite a...

I think that's why he posted it doom. I know I'll be using it in Pep.

Any chance of hosting an .OBJ?

Wow. Your work is absolutely beautiful. Could you do the Lancer rifle next? Pretty Please? http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Lancer_Assault_Rifle

Right. They last a lot longer than you "think" they will however. There is a reason we use silicone molds in the molding industry. Cause they stand up well to batch runs. Now, they may not last...say...as in time..months, years...silicone will go brittle and tear more from time than production runs.

The hard mold method you use won't produce nearly the quality you'd get from a silicone mold. Silicone IS expensive even in the US, though with the money you're throwing at this project with all that illustration board and fiberglass, you could just buy it online, and have it shipped no? Also...

Would absolutely LOVE a pep of that. Maybe not the helmet....that is easily enough procured. But the face mask...oh yeah.

Frosty, You should lay down a layer of clear coat over that. Maybe something....satin. Not high gloss...just enough to give it that metal look. The Spartan armor deff. has a sheen to it in game. Bouncing light off etc.

That's what super bright LED's are for. :lol:

I'm with you with the stupidity factor...I laugh at each years Darwin Awards. With that said however, I remember playing cops and robbers with my friends as a child, and running around my streets at night playing army with the coolest toy guns we could find. Honestly, they looked pretty...

You sir are very cool, thank you for the share. What size fitted cap do you wear? I about a 7 3/8th....so just trying to gauge how much I may need to scale. Cheers!
