I've seen that hex mold. he did amazing work. I had a question about some of the vacuum forming on visors. Whats a good clear plastic to use for, say Emile's helm from reach. I've just started cutting the pep out, but want to have a good idea on what to do on the visor, since it's basically...

So after a bit of research ballistics gel probably wouldn't be the best choice. though it is really cheap to make it doesn't hold up to wear and tear. but it is safe to pour over your foot. but it would cure unless you put your foot in the fridge. NEW Idea, Dragon Skin by Smooth On. Its...

I personally would use the width of your head, then go scale the helm to that. THEN (that's not it yet) go into the 2D Menu>Edit Mode>Measure Distance Between Two Points. Flip the helm on its head and measure the opening, then use the scale up/down 10% until the opening is within 10-20mm. This...

Where are you located? Craigslist can be a beautiful thing if there is one set up around your area, or a flea market. You could probably find the folding table and speakers and such used for a decent price. Cargo net you could make yourself out of some 550 cord. Under suit can be a simple as...

first thing I thought of was turning this into a potato gun.... Second thought. good job dude

I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home with my kids and have my wife work. But I feel your pain about having to fund the many projects As far as the go pro... I'm not sure how you could mount it in a way to incorporate it into the overall appearance of it. I'll have to look at a few armor...

I'm planning on doing it the same as everyone seems to on here with a slight add on/twist. I'll resin the outside then put a layer of rondo on the inside then reinforce that with a fiberglass layer or two on the inside. I was explaining how these builds go to my friend so he understood the...

So I have a good friend that has worked with fiberglass for years and I took my pep helm over to him to just get his overall opinion about doing the glass work. He sat there and stared at it for a bit a an idea just kinda fell out of his mouth. Resin the inside of it to stiffen it up, just...

you need card stock paper. the kind used for greeting cards and business cards. the paper you linked looks to be photo paper. I don't know if it will work or not, and if it will have a bad reaction to the resin you use.

I used an Ironman Helm as a practice piece. After completing it, I have learned to start with all the little pieces. Then they are a bit larger so you cant lose them. Also I'm not seeing too much of a problem on the chin area of the helm. bondo and sanding would probably fix the issue.

I can't wait to see this suit with color. This is an amazing build. Major props dude.

What about ballistic gel? I bet that would feel great to walk on all day. Though I'm not sure how fast it sets up.

My understanding of the foam used for the weapons is more like styrofoam. A bit stiffer, and doesn't bend easily. But a lot of the weapon plans for building seem to not only be pep but sliced. The sliced plans allow you to use it as a template to stack each piece of foam (or other material)...
