Your armor looks great, and you built it in such a short time! I have a question about the chest piece, it looks like you used the HD model by flyingsquirel and I'm about half way done with it. Did you put the entire chest together (with the support struts)? I'm not sure if it would be best to put it all together, then resin it and then seperate the front and back. Or if I should seperate it before I resin. Thanks!

Nice work I love the color you nailed it. Looks like the cover of the Halo 3 case!
hey Toftt !
thought i'd reply on here rather than facebook as im logged in here at the moment.. ahaha
yeah i was really rushing towards the end.
well as the pics dont work anymore showing my progress (which is kind of anoying) they went after the site moved
anyway.. i built the whole chest as one piece, with the support struts and all, then resined about 3 times. then fiberglassed the back.. but then i learnt about rondo (which is resin and body filler mixed.. thank ben streeper for that ) and hardened the front..
then after it was completly hardened i cut it in two pieces as you can see in the shots!
i would really reccommend seperating the chest AFTER its been hardened because then you get no warpage and it keeps it shape.
if you get any problems feel free to hit me up on facebook! it will be cool to talk to another armour builder about this stuff outside of 405th!
and thanks Josh, i do love the paint job ive done, but im actually going to be re-spraying it to match the cg trailer (its like a metallic goldish green) as i soo prefer that ! ahah
