Ack, why has it taken me so long to find this thread? Very nice work. I have to say I'm pretending to be furious with you because I have a tutorial i wrote back in january for a system almost exactly like yours for working pvc guns :pI've been waiting until I made an S2 to implement it... but...

Wow, that's wicked. Good use of a rejected prop! The center gash and the handprint on the side are a nice touch.

So I acquired some stuff from Leotek Electronic Corp. LEDs, to be exact. Pictures are better than words. I don't know what to do with this stuff, or what it's worth to try to sell it. I've searched and searched to try and find out, but no luck. I gather they're made for sign illumination. I...

I took my half-bondo'd rundown helmet to school the other day and sold 2 casts in advance to friends on the soccer team (we have post-game Firefight parties) :) and possibly a full suit of recon and an iron man helmet depending on how well the casts of my helmet come out. So don't be afraid of...

Underdogg is right, actually. This thread is silly. It isn't difficult to search or read stickies at all, especially for a mk VI visor, something has been done many times. Even reading a WIP thread will be very informative.

In my experience/lack thereof, it's all in the bondo. I attempted my first helmet with straight bondo... the results produced came out like the foam stuff you're talking about. Then I mixed some fiberglass resin in with it. Adding resin to your bondo makes a HU-YOOGE difference. On...

I fired 27 weighted plastic rounds from a mossberg 590 which was rated at 375 ft/sec at my chestplate, which had nothing but one piece of fiberglass and MAYBE 1/8" bondo on the inside. At a distance of 2 feet, the rounds made 6 tiny round marks, but only in the outside which at the time was...

I'm actually glad you compiled this list, it makes my decisions easier and centralises all the ODST parts I like to minimise digging. Putting this in my browser favorites :)

Where did you find these? I would VERY MUCH love to get ahold of a sniper, shotgun, and M6S modeled in this fashion. I'm pretty addicted to rondoglass slosh-casting my stuff now, so this seems like a really good option for me. I have also had some success in reshelling airsoft weaponry and...

Check your pictures... it seems like you posted some links to your own system which we can't view! Try using an image hosting site (i like tinypic.com the best) or upload to the 405th gallery.

I can imagine all of us here who have built an ODST helmet already turning up our noses at the hypothetical helmet and mercilessly picking its inaccuracies, weight, and unwearability to pieces :)

Look, man, there are so many things wrong here. Take into consideration the fact that you have chosen to build a relatively obscure model. Many of us don't know who this is. Also, more than half of the 405th is probably so focused on their ODST armor (like me), that we don't do a lot of...

Sorry, I've been away for a bit without internet access. Yes, I too am unsure about what the heck you were talking about with the heat reaction...sounds more like your friend tried to wrap his finger in fiberglass lol I do plan to work with the help a small team of experienced members of...

My ODST armor has been on hold for a bit (haven't gotten farther than chest and shoulder plates) due to other pressing projects like my advanced drawing and fabrication classes. I am, however, working hard to finish my helmet in two weeks for homecoming week :D Anyway, we all want mannequins...
