Well the first visor (mirror gold) I ordered from Ebay turned out to be some sorta scam cause I never received it in the mail (this has been reported to Ebay). I think I'm going to order THIS (*clicky*) visor today or tomorrow and hopefully get it installed ASAP. It's not gold, but it's ten...

Whatsup 405th members! Sorry for starting my progress thread only to sorta stop my progress (kinda ironic). It's just that my pre-first-year-of-college-summer has been quite busy. However, since my school starts late (in a month) and I've exhausted any possible excuses for not continuing with...

This should get the job done. Excellent customer reviews, low price and free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102814 You can read more about the card and its performance here: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-3650-512MB/

If you want, just do what I do: As you add rondo to the helmet in sections, place 2"x8" strips of matting over the wet rondo (without a lot of over-lapping), pushing it down so that it's about half-way submerged in the rondo. Once the rondo cures (after getting very hot!), mix up about 2-3...

I'm sorry if this doesn't contribute much to the thread, buuuuut ...

Haha, thanks man! I needed the reassurance!

Thank you! The tape I was using was just regular blue masking tape (*clicky*) which you can certainly find at any Home Depot or maybe a regular crafts store. It's a little less adhesive than normal masking tape, and doesn't leave any residue once removed. Perfect for temporary use. Also, the...

I'd suggest buying one of THESE as well as two or three sheets of low-grit sandpaper. Together, you can get the majority of your sanding done, and then finish it off with some high-grit sanding paper. Unless you are very experienced, I have some doubts that you'll be able to effectively sand off...

Thanks guys! I guess the helmet took me a few days to pep (back then it took long due to school), about two days to harden and perhaps a week or two to smooth (again, during school). The torso took me a good week to build due to all the extra scrap-built supports and pieces on the inside to keep...

Spartan Torso Back: Pep and Resin Stage: Spartan Gutplate: Resin Stage: Smoothing Stage: All Put Together: That's all for now. I hope you enjoy the pics! Nightshade

Spartan Torso Front (continued): Painted Stage: I'd like to thank the member Thorssoli for all the wonderful pictures in his epic armor thread. It was actually from his torso piece that I took a lot of inspiration, so here's a picture comparing the two (mine's on top, his is...

Spartan Neck Seal: (I'd like to thank the member Moonwildflower for the necessary templates to create it)

ODST Helmet: Painted (missing visor) That's the ODST helmet so far. The large gold-mirror visor was ordered a number of days ago, and I have no idea why I haven't received it yet ...
