1. I used a black steel toe boot (9" I think?) but I either should have scaled my boot armor larger or just used ankle high boots instead. I'm going to go with the latter, since pepping the HD boots was a pain. It'll really allow more freedom of motion too. 2. Tons and tons of fiberglass...

And your visor isn't nearly as likely to fog up if you have a fan in your helmet. Double benefit! I had a tiny 1" fan in mine, but with my work over this summer of my armor I'm going to try to fit in two more hopefully.

You're going to sweat in your armor no matter what, especially if you're in Malaysia. You can put as many fans as you want in your armor, but most importantly, stay hydrated and know your body's limits. If you start feeling light headed after a while, take a seat and drink some water. Wearing...

Not ever having to deal with fiberglass again would be wonderful. I think the plan for this summer is to totally redo my thighs, shins, and forearms, since all of those are either way too damaged (shins) or unsymmetrical and could look a bit more like the Halo 3 screenshots (forearms and...

Hey Liq, long time no talk! Just thought I'd let you know I'm going to be back to work on my Mark 6, he's been beat up pretty bad to the point where I either had to go through a complete overhaul or scrap him. But once a Spartan, always a Spartan, so he's getting a complete work over, as close...

So my Mark 6 has been through quite a bit of "combat" since I finished it back in '09, so much so it's at the point of needing a complete overhaul. I was debating between these two options: 1) Bondo any imperfections, then mold and cast every single armor piece. 2) Repair with fiberglass and...

It's good to be back. I haven't really done anything since I finished my Mark 6 in the way of costuming, but there is a vacuum forming table coming together in my basement as we speak :cool

My first suit, it's taken a beating in the last year and a half though and probably won't be worn again until I overhaul it completely. 44

I'm just going to assume you're around high school/college age since you're posting here. That said, you have A LOT of life left ahead of you. That includes A LOT of other women. You'll find someone else.

My bad, I thought Creation Discussion was more for specific questions or progress rather than hypothesizing. Thanks for pointing me to those files, they'll definitely help when I start making the molds.

So I'm trying to brainstorm up a few ideas for next Halloween's costume, and I've narrowed my choices down to all involving Star Wars. I want to build most of the armor via vacuum-forming (I don't want to do fiberglass again), so that narrows down the choices a little bit too. Now I kinda want...

Talk about serious cojones.

Does anyone know where to reach him? I have tried emailing his email address that appears on his SPC blog in order to purchase a .pdo file, yet have heard nothing from him. It also appears that he hasn't frequented this board for a few months as well. Are there any alternate ways to contact him?

Answer the questions you know. Don't answer the ones you really can't even form a guess about. And do better on the essay than I did.

Awesome, I was just about to go on a search for this answer. Thanks!
