I was thinking of making the green helmet in the second picture for cosplay: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006745 I want to know how I could simulate that flashing effect, with the different colours. I want to set it on a timed circuit so the LEDS will alternate colours in the same...

freaking awesome! I was thinking of making Thomas' helmet because I wont be able to finish my Halo armour for Halloween. I was thinking, maybe instead of using a scrolling text screen, perhaps write words with fiber optics?

amazing! and LOL at your friend Jon, thats pretty ironic indeed

if it makes your skin red, that's normal. I have allergies to dust, but I chose to use fiberglass cloth in the end with great results. I made my Mark VI out of printer paper of all things and after throwing it a couple times after resin, fiberglass cloth and bondo nothing happens~ and honestly...

it might of been because it was humid, ill go check on it in a bit and report back later. if all goes well today, then ill start bondo.

convert your units here~ http://www.convertunits.com/from/mm/to/inches Im not quite sure I understand what your doing.... heres a tutorial for how to scale, for anyone who needs it http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/31627-HaloGoddess-quot-How-To-Scale-quot-and-More-Tutorial

is there a minmimum amount of drops of hardener to add? I put 10-12 drops into about an ounce and was resining from 3 until around 5. I checked the pieces an hour ago and theyre still not dry! the temeperature is about 70 so it cant be a temperature problem can it?

on your forearms? wow, that sounds annoying,espescially since I dont think I have any acetone..I guess ill just wear an old sweater

ahh ok, im sorry I get confused sometimes ^^; thank you very much for the help~ gonna start resin and such today do I have to take the clothes off immediately after working with them or can I go into my house with them on and take them off in the bathroom or w/e?

so wear a full body suit while working with the resin? im not a very clumsy person I dont truly find that necessary.. unless im misunderstanding what your saying. and I remember, I just wanted to double check, safety is key~ @Jake D sure! just stayed up til now finishing up my shoulder piece...

well, what you have to do is measure your foot with the shoe that youre putting the pepakura on, then convert it into millimetres. HaloGoddess had a great thread about scaling, I have the link on my other computer, ill PM it to you tommarow

this is probably a common question, but I looked on Amazon and the gold visor I wanted was $30. is that a normal price or should I look elsewhere?

ah yes, you're right. in my head I knew that..silly me. guess it came out wrong lol, my bad. gonna start tommarow, finishing up my left shoulder piece tonight, pulling an all night papercrafting and listening to Daft Punk. pure harmony~ this may be a bit off topic but... i'm starting to think...

I surely didnt expect that!!! that was awesome, made me laugh good.

soooo let me see if I got this all correct. 1. use a respirator+goggles when bondo, resining, and painting 2. wear dust mask+goggles when sanding and glassing 3. you dont truly need full body protection when working with fiberglass mat...?
