Yep, that's how I felt as well. I'm still deciding on where the battery packs are going to go, but I will likely be using some sort of connector between the shells, shouldn't be hard at all to line up after doing the pegs. I kept the pegs as long as possible (the pretty much butt up against the...

Incredible suit. Not to mention the fact that you're building it so quickly. Amazing work.

So I started with one of these: Everyone has one, nothing terribly special about mine (except that I made it to fit me I guess). But what do you do once you have a fully fiberglassed helmet? Even though I had sized the helmet correctly I knew I wouldn't be able to fit my head through the...

Best suggestion I have is make a pair of duct tape dummies. Takes a couple hours and $40 and you can test fit and pose everything whenever you want. Get a full body painters suit and 4 rolls of duct tape from home depot, do at least 2 layers perpendicular to each other and stuff it with old...

Undersuit detail? Build is looking good, that laser cutter is amazing.

L3X, could you put a note on the first post that the sliced weapons are meant to use 3mm or 1/8" cardboard? I started trying to make one of the weapons and after getting 10 pages into the thread the only answer that was given was 1/4", so now I have a 2" thick pistol that I can't even wrap my...

I use cheap ballpoint Bic pens to do my scoring, black for mountain and red for valley. I use a good clear drafting ruler to line up all of the scores, but I cut free hand, I find the rule just gets in the way once you're cutting things. As for fixing crooked, the best fix is to not let it get...

This is some incredibly detailed pep work. It seems like you can do to cardstock what Cerealkiller can do to bondo. Awesome work, can't wait for more updates.

I found some and uploaded them to imgur: http://imgur.com/a/yN7ZW#0

Does anyone have any links to some high res photos showing details that don't show up in the pep files? I'm at the point where I'm bondoing and adding little details, but I need some inspiration. Thanks!

That is some excellent foam work. I didn't read the whole thread very closely but your work reminds me a lot of LilTyrant's Kat build, so you may want to check her thread out if you haven't already: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/35790-KAT-ARMOR-BUILD-with-custom-undersuit

The helmet (and the whole armor) looks awesome. It's awesome how far your skills have progressed since you joined!

Saw you posted a couple weeks ago that you got your new computer. It is now September 2, 2012. So you're a day late :) Hopefully you do return to the modeling community, I just found your files today, and I'm going to be using your thighs for my armor (with a couple tweaks).

Ok, here's the second thigh that I've pepped. Is this roughly the correct size? It almost seems enormous, but I do have long legs, so I don't know. As you can see, I'm bending my knee at 90° and the top of the thigh comes up to about 3" under my waist line. The first one I made was...

TMC, take a dremel, and cut away the bad fiberglass areas. I'm assuming when you say you did a bad job and there is bowing that you mean there are large air pockets under the fiberglass. If that's the case, the fiberglass in that area isn't doing anything structurally speaking. Just cut away the...
