Do you have a link to this product? I'm having trouble picturing it in my head.

He was very excited. In fact, all he ever wants to wear is that thing. I wish it was a better helmet, so I guess I'll just have to pep him one for next year!

Everyone else can see them. I can see them. Must be on your browser.

Ha ha! Your sarcasm is almost transparent! Yah, I started my Pep work after I finished his costume. I found this website a week after halloween. My MKVI can be found here: http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopi...mp;#entry236874

Here's the back story. I started this a few days before Halloween this year because my kid is really into Halo3. I tried to convince him to go with the Iron Man costume only because it was actually available in a child's size. It was good enough for him, my budget (considering he'll grow out of...

The search feature on this forum works really good. If it's information that's worth anything, it's probably stickied somewhere. Try this one for pretty much all the info on this topic. http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13808

Did you even bother to look at how big this New Egg fan is? It's almost twice the size of the eBay and Radio Shack fans... Good luck fitting it in your rig. Specifications are available for a reason.

Thanks for the sizing tips. I got the pectoral and neck section done, and in front of the mirror it looked spot on with just enough room on either side to allow my shoulders to articulate freely. I totally meant to get someone to take a picture so I could post it for a second opinion, but I got...

I use both hot glue and Ultra Thin CA like this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...LXPT38&P=ML Hot glue is self explanatory. I use a Craftsman glue gun that gets REALLY hot. The nice thing about hot glue is it's un-doable in a pinch. YOu can either use an unloaded gluegun or a...

Those are almost exactly what I ordered from radioshack.com for $12.99 http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...oductId=2102824

I started the actual gluing process today. My progress has slowed down thanks to my coworkers who have been giving me friendly grief about this 'arts and crafts' project. I normally whip out the glue gun and do a little pepping at work during the evening down-time while we the guys are relaxing...

I wish this were true in my case...

Today was a lazy day for me. I spent most of my day prepping for the FS HD Chest. I'm really super nit-picky and detail oriented, so I sat down and just color coded and creased all my folds. I printed a cover sheet that details the scale and other vital info since I had to enlarge it a bit for...

I second Phantoms comment. Nice work man. As far as your sanding issues, it looks like you fiberglassed the outside of the helmet? I would suggest glassing the INSIDE for structural strength, then resining the crap out of the outside. This step will permeate the cardboard making it easier to...

RVBforlife is correct. It's weedblock fabric. You put it down before laying barkdust to prevent unwanted foliage from taking root. The tiny perforations you see facilitate drainage of rainwater. I was doing some repairs on my travel trailer and went to camping world for roofing. They gave me a...
