For any ACT or South NSW people out there I found a place where you can buy all the plastic and rubber compounds and stuff needed to cast and mould bits and pieces. It's called 'ACT plastics'. It's on Isa Street in Fyshwick. I've been looking for it everywhere and only just found it. It's like...

That's awesome! Imagine smashing a guy in the chest with that thing :P hahaha

@Combust It's doing alright. I haven't worked on it much because I need to buy a new router of the spindle so that I can get some measurements to finish off the Z axis. I also need to make some more money to buy all of the controllers and motors and stuff off the internet. Shouldn't be too long...

Hey guys! I have a confession to make that I am ashamed of. I haven't posted anything in ages. I mean, AGES. This is mainly due to my latest project being a big one with the sole purpose of saving me time and giving me more accuracy in future projects. I posted this same thread over at...

Hey Man, nice to have you aboard. I hope you like it here on the 405th. If you get a chance, could you post some pics of your armour to share? That would be awesome to see some of your stuff. If you need any help with anything at all, please don't hesitate to PM me or anything Take it easy Sam
