Adulese's Mark V Armor Progress

Not open for further replies.
Hey all,
I've been working on my armor for the past couple days and have gotten a lot done. I have successfully sanded my two hand-plates to total smoothness. I'll probably be making casts of them, as I don't like how the fiberglass is holding up. I also did some finishing work on my right fore-arm and shoulder, as well as my helm. I have also officially completed the fiberglassing stage of my upper body by completing the resining on my chest/back piece. Now its on to bondoing and finishing. I'll get pics up soon.

Your work looks really good so far. Drive on and you may get it finished before the weather turns against you.
 
yeah, but then again, you can always work on pep building while there is crap weather. how do you think i got the suit done? by being bored as hell for 5 months.
 
Hey all,
Well I haven't done much since I got my summer reading in. I now have to read over 800 pages in about 2 weeks. -.- Anyway, I have done some major sanding and everything is coming out great. Shouldn't be long (like less than a wekk) till I have almost the entire upper body done.

HUGE UPDATE:
Well its been about 2 months since I updated you all on my suit. I have been making slow and steady progress and I am nearing completion. Right now, I am finishing up the upper body pieces and painting them. The lower portions should be done within the week and I will have a full suit for you all just before Halloween.

PS: I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow as my damn camera needs to charge.
 
Woe is me, I've been upstaged! :eek:

Ok, maybe not really. I'd tried doing a Mark V from scratch and got as far as the helmet before I screwed up with the scaling factor, so I know exactly what you meant earlier about scales.

Great work though.
 
Thanks man. I finished off many of the upper body pieces and began painting them today. I'm doing a silver and gray paint job and it already is looking sweet. Right now, I am taping off the pieces that will remain silver (as I did a base coat of silver on the whole thing earlier). And, alias, I forgot pics again. I will try and get some tomorrow for you all.

I just finished putting together this image showing my progress.

Hey all,
Yeah I know its a triple post, but it is sort of a big deal. I have less than 3 days to finish my suit for Halloween and plan to do so TOMORROW! That's right, my Mark V will be complete right on time. I'll be posting pics as soon as my bloody camera's USB cord starts working. -.0;

I know you can't. :D I am currently in the process of padding up my helmet and adding the stapping. My wet-suit looks amazing and really keeps me warm in this 30 degree weather. One more night to go until I have to be done and the whole family is kicking in to help.

BIGGEST UPDATE EVER!!

I have finished my armor! That is right. Mark up a Mark V suit onto the 405th registry. I wore it tonight when I went out with some friends and got several complements. I'll be finishing up a couple problems I spotted, and will be posting some pics of it very very soon. ^.^

Hey guys,
Well, I finally got a picture to show you all. My good camera is shot for now, but I just figured out how to get my Juke camera to work. So here is a picture of the helmet as I don't have time to put the whole suit on right now.

Thanks guys. I am going to actually, be adding more detail, including LED lights, inside display (have a plan worked out for it), fans and maybe even a small camera with a memory card (slides in the back ;) ). I'll try and get a full pic of my armor as soon as possible, even if its a bit low quality.

Thanks guys. I used Moz's files and they turned out great. I'll be re-strapping things pretty soon so everything stays on correctly. I'll try and get images asap.
