Wow, I think I'll be doing this soon with my new helmet. Looks very sharp and seems much more feasible than Fiberglass/Resin. Excellent work!

Halo 3 was pretty nice, I enjoy the multiplayer(me and my buddeez play in forge, nothing more fun than spawning the weapons you need to take somebody down, or trying to shoot a flying orb with a tank. xD) I got to borrow Assassin's Creed from a buddy last week(was supposed to return it today...

Here's a nice update: http://www.instructables.com/id/Using-Pape...o-be-the-Maste/ I made an entire writeup of the process, along with photos(my entry into a contest). I know i didn't put much sanding into my pieces, but whatever. As soon as i finish the suit, I'll make some kind of...

aight, i had an epiffany thursday morning. i would not be able to finish my costume for the halloween party that took place friday night. so i took thursday off from school, printed all the pepakura and folded it. i woke up at 3 am friday and began resining everything. by 5 PM friday, all the...

Aight, i've done some work with my helmet, torso piece and the chest armor, i thought i'd post some pics here. i noticed the helmet looks mad huge compared to the chest armor, but w/e. [attachment=794:Me_and_helmet.JPG] A comparison of the helmet and my head...

aight, i pieced the anti-plasma thong together, cut it up, and resined part of it. i'm wondering how do i resin the ass section without bending out the bit of the paper belt i left on? i hope that's descriptive enough, but if it isnt i'll try to get some pics tomorrow. i want to keep it...

Umm, one key's length? :D i pieced the helmet together today, and put a few coats of resin on the top part. i plan to do the top, let it cure, then go onto the bottom. once i have it all covered in resin, i'll do all of it for every new coat i put on. i just wanted to make sure the shape stays...

Ok, i bought a 150 pack of cardstock yesterday(didnt have A4, so im stuck with legal), a quart of resin and two 25 foot rolls of 6 inch fiberglass tape. i know it's used for drywall repair, but if i double up it will work out. i got my helmet half assembled in 7 hours yesterday. it's taking me...

of course i didn't get to lowes today. didnt expect my mom to get me there, she only drives to church. but dad had a "good excuse". today's the start of muzzleloader season for deer. :mad: if i put 5 hours a weekday and all weekend on this thing, could i pull it off in 3 weeks?

dude, there's no excuse to homeschool a kid unless the teachers at a school are banging students(i wouldnt have much of a problem, there's some cute teacher's near my place) or they're showing up drunk every day. or if the kid has some kind of condition. my parents do this to me because they...

thanks boomer, i'll keep that in mind. i hope to get some resin and cardstock tomorrow, i think i'll start with the right arm. i might not do Chief green, i might do my multiplayer variant(emerald green with orange subpieces) just for expedience's sake. my dad is VP of a construction company...

Is there any particular reason this kind of sh1t always happens in my threads? :rolleyes anywho, i traded in my DS phat yesterday, i got 28 bucks for it. :cautious: that brings my project fund up to 40 bucks. would that buy enough resin to do all the armor? i think i might have to talk to...

oops. looks like that sticky was the only one i didnt get to. :cautious: thanks! So my questions are answered except for the paint. what colors should i use to get something close to spartan green? all i can find in the walmart is Emerald green, a little too dark for my preferences. BTW...

Hi guys, I'm Jake Turner from Franklinton, NC. I'm a senior in my home(homeschooled- don't ask, i know it's wierd as hell), so i have a lot of time on my hands after school is up, something to the tune of 6 hours a weekday. ive always wanted to make a stormtrooper costume, but that got pushed...
