Been away for a bit... approx 6 years. Been a bit busy, you see. Moved, new job (with free beer!), new etc etc. Anyway.... I was going to post this in Zombiegrimms thread (here), but decided I didn't want to hijack his extensive work, and as this is semi-complete, decided a separate thread...

He hit it on the nose. I used to do alot of 'glass work when I was living in phoenix, and aside from mixing it very light (reducing the hardener by half or more) this was the only option that worked. We'd keep the gallon jug in the fridge, and pour off what was needed. Spase also nailed...

I'll post a few... like a boss. Mike O'Connell -definitely NSFW uncesnsored, view at your own risk - link and Old Gregg... Mighty Boosh is awesome, if you like weird humor

While the suspension looks cool in game, there's a reason no one uses a leading arm suspension in real life. The arms would jam under heavy suspension travel, causing a pogo stick effect. If this is to be done in real life, better to use a independent front suspension and a trailing arm for...

Chūdan-no-kamae stance to yokogiri. nice. ;)

yes, he has some horrible engrish. well, polish translated to English. or Czechoslovakian. whatever. but his main site is here. The bar on the left is your navigation... go to aliens models and go from there. Edit: The link I previously posted isn't that bad. I've been able to dig more info...

You can probably build it out of cardboard as well, but I'd recommend using tagboard as opposed to corrugated cardboard. the corrugations are a bitch to fill in. The Monev the Gale (he looks like this, for those of you unfamiliar with Trigun) costume I was working on was eventually scrapped...

That makes no sense. Paper Mache is pulp and PVA, yes, but PVA is water soluble, and bondo doesn't like water. Resining whatever you're working on will make it a hell of a lot more permanent. Yes, you can just straight bondo the paper, but eventually the bondo will start to flake out, as it...

the files can be found here. Great site, he has alot of nice peps. I've built the m41a1, which was promptly sat on by my nephew. Still, impressive piece.

Nope. Exothermic chemical reaction causes the fire. The fumes, while incredibly harmful, are not flammable per se.

I do have the .pdo files for those weapons, if you need them.

I've done this several times, when I was doing some boat repairs. Too much hardener does two things: obviously, it heats the part up. Alot. I've seen full containers of resin mixed up by people who had no idea what they were doing, and catch fire... To the point of throwing it in a pail of...

they do have heat guns at walmart. you're probably gonna need help finding them, as I have no idea as to which department they'd be in. Probably paint or tools. If you don't want to drop 60 bucks, you can use the oven method, just be aware it'll put alot of stink out when you do it. As the...

I used to do alot of fiberglass work, and the heat gun/hairdryer method is still your best bet to get the parts to move to where you want them. You're probably going to have more luck with the resined helmet than you will with the forearm. What I'd recommend doing is taping structural supports...

Granted I haven't played any 40k in years, but I do keep up with the figures. Turns out you can have too many hobbies. Anyway. If you're gonna go with a Kasrkin stormtrooper, bet bet in my opinion to piece it together would be a modified halo 2 ODST helmet -here - with a standard h3 torso...
