Hello, and welcome to the 405th, and by the sounds of it it should be a pretty interesting build to watch so I can't wait to see some pregress pics. As for colour scheme as far as I can tell its your armour its your choice and the general feel around here being the sky is the limit so good luck...

Thanks, well I started fiberglassing yesterday and so far its going fairly smoothly but I have a question for you vets out there; how many layers of fiberglass do you usually apply. So far with the one layer the areas that I got to seem fairly solid but should I go for another layer once im done...

Nice work, it looks really good for just starting out as for the argument of scissors to x-acto knife it use both but 97% of the time I use scissors.

Very nice, clean peps; it looks like I have some competition in the clean pep department:D.

I can't wait to see some pics but please don't triple post use the edit function instead.

Very interesting idea and it actually wouldn't be all that hard all you would need to do is print the design on card stock or heavy weight paper then cut it out then you have a stencil. From that point on all you would need to do is either spray paint it or air brush it and there you go greek...

Thanks, and to answer your question yes this is my first attempt making halo armour.

You might want to try using the search function in the future but for now heres a good tutorial on various methods of scaling, I find the first to be the best. http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/25588-How-to-Scale-Your-Armour-Tutorial-V.2 and hopefully the link works.

Thanks for the comment. Now I started resining the torso and I have hit an impasse I guess I didn't put enough hardener when I was mixing the resin so now after about 12 hours it's still "wet" now my question is; is my torso ruined or will it just take longer to cure, anyhelp would be great...
