First off, i dont want to be a thread nazi, or a mini-mod(since my post count is disguistingly low) but seriously, if its a question like that, just PM the guy(or gal as the case may be) insted of necro-posting. As to your question, glue the peices together. i use hot glue(though i've never...

Im still working on my aluminum molded armor. Im going to cast it in greensand, clean it up with a grinder a little(big issues), have it shot peened, and finally have it anodized. im very familiar with the metalcasting process, so i know what im doing. Its just easier and faster said than done...

Its nice to see people interested in all aspects of the armor, not just the look :) BTW: you spelled "mjolnir" wrong in the title... ;)

Thats exactly what im planning on. Check out my thread on p.2 of the noob forum

check out the official scaling thread in the pepakura armor discussion forum under the creation discussion

i cant wait to see the pelican unfolded :lol: I just wish i could do it myself

Thanks for the ideas. Any idea how much the high silica clay and aluminum content clay option would cost? Id like to keep with tha casting option though becuse its the way that im most familiar with (besides pepakura :rolleyes ) As for fabricating the big peices out of aluminum sheet, im not...

I would like it to have some bulk (probably a thickness of about 1/2-3/4 of an inch). I am planning on doing something like that with the helm, unless i can get hold of a commercial grinder to hollow it out. I will probably use that enamel idea to keep it from getting soggy from the sand(it has...

lol you can get everything there. Ive heard that that stuff expands too much... of course you could just apply less... anyway thanks for the pic. what have you used it on? Id like to know...

you could get a pep model of it, construct it and resin/glass it and shove airsoft internals in there (possibly using a P90 mag as the side mounted mag on the M7...?) Anyway im doing something like that with a Battle rifle pep. Ive got it pepped and im waiting to get some cash goin to buy the...

I was going to try that but something came up and i never found time for it. The HFC P99 would be a good pistol to use. Its only like $15 on evike.com. Its heavy and the slide locks back when the mag is empty.

THanks! thats a great idea. What brand did you use? ive had bad experiences with the Hilti version of it in weapons. wow im surprised that this didnt cross my mind... :cautious: To Baconmaster: you can get it from any hardware store like Home Depot, Dixiline (in socal) and Ace. Another Edit...

Most of you probably think that from the title, Im asking if you guys think I could do it. No Im not. I have all of the supplies I need to create molded aluminum armor(foundry, greensand, raw aluminum, EXPERIENCE, etc.) Anyway, my plan is to make all of the peices in pep, then make a sand mold...

Could somebody unfold this please? I gave it my best shot but ive never unfolded anything before so i failed... miserablyThanks

A great way to weather the metal would be shot peening, although im not sure how well that would work with 16ga. metal...
