so i been busy with work and my band recently but have come across some time to get some more work done on my armor......and ive decided to go the cb route , so thanx to bevbor for thinking this up and for the few other people who tried it out and inspiring me to go this route.so far i have bicep and the forearm templates printed , cut out and ready to to put on cb ( cb that i will get from work tomorrow) , so within the next few days between work and band practice i'll have more to share..
the fore arm came out too small , i ended up using the wrong measurement so i stopped the fore arm part way through , but im thinking that i might just use card stock instead of cardboard(in some crazy hybrid thing with some cb) , 1 because its kinduv a pain to cut (but the detail is nice) and 2 because , well , they feel a lil bulky..i wasnt gonna post a pic till i had one done but heres where i left off....just needs to be like an inch longer

ok so i scaled about an inch .(lil more) and viola i have a perfect size left forearm....if it looks familiar its the cb template that bevbor made , i just tweeked a lil and added tabs on all the edges...i missed a few edges but nothing a lil scrap paper wont fix for now , till i add them in the next version...my plan is to use cb as a back to the recessed spots so they still have thickness but isnt as thick as cb on the whole arm. and all i should need to do is add a another layer of cb over the top for the outer detail. any ways if any one wants to the file the way i tweeked it let me know...(not to steal any ones thunder) but i think this is a lil easier than the cb template (only because you dont have to cut out actual cb)

nicely done. the size looks perfect to me.
so i started the bicep the other day and i dont really know what i've done here , but i see it working out in the long run ,this was alot easier to put together and i think the details on it will stand out more when its all painted and done with

I think the arm pieces look great. Just one thing I noticed:
The are the right size, but the upper one is like 0.8 inches too high. (my opinion)
Other than that:
awesome ^^

Hey man nice work, One of those how'd I miss it topics, But there's one good thing about those and that's no waiting period... At least it was with the helmet lol, I love it. Looks pretty sweet with the black visor too. And the padding looks superb my origional thought was damn that looks like a motorcycle helmet, I then go on to read that it indeed fits like one.
I had to laugh at the construction paper helm, I had marginal success with a regular paper helm until I messed up the fiberglassing... Looks pretty from the outside no warpage at all just one ungodly fiberglass job lol
