resin doesnt really shrink it. or atleast it hasnt shrank any of my armor pieces. i think it says on the can of bondo fiberglass resin its non shrink. but maybe not. just apply a lite coat the first time.

i scaled it down and it looks right. if you could upload a pic of what it looks like at your shoulder area. ive also scaled all the peices to my hieght. i can type them for you if you want them Landon foster. ive even done the crotch plate butt plate and thighs for the lower body. its all odst...

ill check that out right now. and yeah im muscular. lol so im regular. thanks for the scale size.

UPDATE*** 1 handguard done. 1 to go. pics tomorrow. and i fixed the warp with my helmet with super glue and a paper support. pic below. and i think it looks alot better BEFORE THE SUPPORT AFTER THE SUPPORT

and as i promised. here are the pics of the pep'ed armor i have made so far. from left to right....odst chest piece. recon helmet. scout shoulders.

thank you very much. im flattered. :)

its to support the sides when you resin it. then you can cut off just enough so that the thickness of the visor can sit on it. plus its an open slot. there isnt a piece to cut out to use for the visor. so you have to make measurements with a ruler of the open visor slot. from top to bottom. its...

okay well the helmet, shoulders and my chest pieces is finally done. its the odst chest piece. im also going to do the odst torso side plates. gauntlets. mkv6 handplates and im not doing the biceps. the shoulders take up my whole bicep lol. so ill leave the biceps out. i might do them later on...

figured it out. they came out a little big but thats okay. got one cut out and folded and ready to be glued. but im out of super glue. gotta wait till i cash my check.

i can see where that would be the hardest. i just think the helmet would be the hardest since its enclosed. but thats just our different views. also can someone help me figure out the scale my shoulder pieces need to be. im 5'2.

dont worry. just make sure you measure your head from top head to under chin. and side jaw to top head and add 2-6 inches on to that. theres also a formula you can find in the noob stickies. i think. someone correct me if im wrong and post the link for him. i did 5 extra inches and its perfect...

thanks for all the positive comments everyone. and great news. the helmet is finally done! i want to keep you all in suspense so ill post pics in a couple of day once i do the touch up work. all thats left now is to AR(aqua resin) and FG(fiberglass) it. then paint it. and i do remember not to...

im doing a full suit since i hear the helmet is the hardest, i was going to do that first.

sorry to keep you waiting. im almost finished with the helmet. just need to do the back on top and a little bit more of the sides and its complete. and the back isnt warped or crooked. i just have an extra piece already glued on the back left side. i just had to quit for the night cause i got to...

ive worked on it for a couple hours today and ive almost got the front, eyes and half of both sides done. ill post some pics in a couple hours for more of the progress ive made.
