Yeah, resin really gets to you...I need to take a break from it for a couple days, it's playing with my mind...I can't get the smell out of my mind... I found out the hard way not to rush it...rushing it caused my shoulder piece to warp out of shape. =( As I said, after this, I'm trying ODST.

Okay, tried fiberglassing, and I failed so miserably. I'm actuall jumping track and I will be using the hot glue method. Another update: This will be my ONLY Mark VI armor. After this I will be building an ODST costume, but after that it's really up in the air. I'll probably work on...

Uh...Normal detail Robogenius, I believe. Also, I scrapped the shoulder piece. It was warped out of shape, and the resin cracked when I tried to fix it.

Definitly. I'll lose, but at least I can say I had a shot. XP I'll be cutting it close, IMO...There'll also be some pics of October 28th, because I'm going to my orthodontists in costume.

Yep... I actually downloaded everything last November. I only got around to starting this in early September. =3 I'm a massive procrastinator, but once I get the project started I don't stop until it's finished I plan to just walk around the neighborhood on Halloween night, and I'll also...

When I said potent I didn't mean bad, I just meant powerful. I actually do not mind the smell of resin. Actually, I don't have a respirator. My dad stood by while I resined and we had a fan going and the garage door open, so I'm not dead yet. =P I plan to get a respirator ASAP, though. Oh...

Yep! And good luck to you, too! I can't wait until this is finished...I actually plan to make these as fast possible, then I'll make higher detail parts after Halloween, but for now, I just want the basic suit. =P

Okay, well, Halloween is around the corner, and I wanna go as something completely awesome, so I decided on the Master Chief. Sorry I don't have pics yet, but I'll definitly have them up by 4 PM or so tomorrow. Me and my dad have so far applied the first layer of resin to the outside of the...

*points at my sig* I'm getting the same problem. I check it a lot to see if they fixed it, but nope...It's an HTTP 500, which means it's a problem with their server, it's nothing of yours, so it's up to them to fix it. All we can do is cross our fingers. =P

http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11425 I'm going by this tutorial, since I already have the jelly and he says it can replace the body filler. I'll still be getting the normal fiberglass resin, though.

Can the jelly be used in place of the resin? Because I failed to buy normal resin, and all I have is resin jelly.

I've never used any sort of resin. XP I got mine at Wal-Mart. 12-aught bucks for 2 pounds 7 ounces, plus an ounce of the catalyst. I actually bought it by accident. I was in a hurry and didn't notice the word "jelly" on it. I'll try to film it when I put it on, so all you guys can see it, unless...

Actually, after reading some of that, I think this "accident" might be beneficial...What the heck, I'll give this stuff a shot.

Haven't opened it yet, and won't be until Tuesday. My parents are uncomfortable with me doing it alone, so my dad's gonna help me, but I don't want to open it just to have the 12 bucks I spent wasted... Also, pic because it happened (Sorry 'bout the quality): Edit: I looked it up on...
