No material, no matter the time or place, can withstand the pressure placed on it for longer than a few seconds. Let's say that MC landed in an arbitrary point in the Pacific Ocean, where the average depth is around...say...14000 feet deep. It results in about 412 atmospheres pushing down on...

Drew this the other day...instead of working on my ODST armor...:p *Note: Because the original pic is 1 mb in size, I can't upload using attachments. Enjoy, nevertheless!

Heh. Good luck to you. I'm actually pretty close to your age: 15, turning 16 in a few weeks. Anyway, I had no trouble convincing my parents. I just told them, "Yeah...it's cool, and I'll learn new techniques." Well...that and they know I'm careful about stuff. And just make sure you...

Very nice! Better than my attempt so far. :p Hope to see you work more.

Alright, I apologize in advance for not putting up any pics: the pieces are still curing. I'll just put a quick synopsis: I finished putting on the fiberglass, and am waiting for that to cure, and started on the ODST helmet. Already have the top part done. More pics should come up later...

Alright, recently I finished painting the first coat of fiberglass resin, and am confused to the second part: Should I put the fiberglass mat on the inside or the outside? Which would be better/easier/best looking? I honestly need to get it straight before I do my next few coats. Oh, and...

First of, thanks for the compliment. Second, I haven't actually changed the scaling...which is a big deal, as I am a bit on the chunky side. :p But I am about 5' 8", and I would say a bit on the broad side. If you were doing the Halo 2 ODST, I don't think you would have to change the...

Looks awesome, and yeah, I have the same problem as LastSpartan. Can't see the earlier pics.

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I'll have new pics up in the next week or so. Cheers!

Actually, I'm working with this very method right now. I'm using some posterboard I had lying around, printed out the peps on regular letter-sized paper, and pasted them on the poster board. It's extremely hard to do with small things like a helmet, but working with the posterboard to make...

Alright, I recently posted a topic about cardboard armor, and got some great replies. Thanks everyone. It actually helped get my to finish it. I managed to print out the Pep model, paste it on posterboard, cut it out, and assemble it. Also, going to work on the lower part and the...

Totally. Congrats man...and may I say, that the BR and the pistol are looking especially smexy tonight. :p

Thank you all for your answers. If I have any further ones, i'll ask the Q&A team. Thanks again, guys and gals! Hopefully I'll have something up in a week or two. Cheers! -GundamX67

Yeah, I got the pepakura part, but should I use paper mache to cover it/strengthen it?

Alright, thanks for checking in on a "n00b". The only reason I'm actually starting a thread, is because I can't seem to find many answers for my questions. I read the rules, and hope I'm not breaking any. Alright, I got it down that I need Pepakura for the base, and the equipment I need, as...
