Ok so one leg done. I still have to do the boot but I don't know what kind of shoe I want it on so I'm waiting for that. I guess it's time to pep the other side and hope it all matches Finally starting to see the end result though

Small update, finishing up the shin now, here's a couple pictures of the "almost" complete one

Yours was another build that was def an inspiration for me to do this.

So on a side note since it's the work week and I don't have any updates, I know it's a long way off but anyone planning on the cleveland dragon con next year. This was the first time it came here but i plan on attending in my suit and hopefully fine some others to join while I'm there. Just curious

Thanks, I'm just hoping my glossing and bondoing come out well too

Small update... I want to finish one leg all the way through so I don't have sizing issues later. I finished what I guess you would call the knee pad... I can't remember off the top of my head who's files these are but if anyone has made these types of shins can they tel me why the pieces are...

Having a child and a wife has certainly slowed my progress but not stopped it. Got one of the thighs pepped and I'll start the other one later today. Hopefully I will be done with pepping the next few weeks if I can buckle down and get more done.

looks good, excited to see where its headed

So I finally got the first coat of resin onto my starter helmet... Other than that I am hoping to get it glassed tomorrow and then move on from there. I kind of want to get this helmet all the way done just so I have done everything and I know what to expect. But we will see how I feel soon...

Haha yep

I really appreciate the feed back guys, currently all I have is an angry wife who keeps making fun of my "origami". I'm hoping to get some fiberglassing done in the next few days and I'll post pictures when I do. I just wanna wear this thing lol

So I figured I should finally start my thread of the suit I've been working on for almost 2 years. My progress may not show it but it's been on again off again for awhile. When I was younger there was a contest at a nearby micro center to win the legendary edition of halo 3 for the best costume...

That's not a bad idea, I actually didn't even know there was such a thing as spray resin. I've made a few helmets so im gonna gonna test it on one of those before I try it on my FUD helmet

I thought I read that electrical tape can be used to hold it together and the resin won't eat through it. I guess it doesn't really matter since the glue should be ok but still good to know. Thanks for the input
