nice u cant even make out the glue lines and folds in the inside! also it has really good quality

So seeing your photos, it's answered a question of mine ... sort of. Comparing the numbers on yours to the files, it seems to match up to the Right Boot file. I had wondered before when looking what was up, and Robo said they were just inside out ... I then wondered if the right would make the left, and vice versa, and it seems to be the case having seen your pictures.

HD boot on supports before resining

Supports are creative, isn't it?

I'm going to fix that soon. I'd do it now, but I don't have the files with me today, so I'll work on it a bit later.
I'm going to make the 2-piece version (toe and heel), and add some supports to the 2 and 3-piece models. I'll also make sure that the faces are facing the right way (instead of being inside out).

@ Bevbor
Everything looks nice. I can't wait to see how everything turns out painted.

ok, so heres what happened..

(see pic)
[attachment=2560:bluehelm.jpg]
#1. that ridge was the mistake, it should not have gone past the top of the helmet, i noticed that a bit too late.
#2. that one wasnt that bad on my model, woah its sticking up way too far,, the second pic attached is my screenshot of when i decided to re-do the helmet, spotting my flaws..(was originally posted in my thread)
#3. this part was not too bad, but i wanted it to be perfect, again, i noticed it too late, and fixed it for my newest helmet..
its also easier to build.
link is in my sig.

Same thing happened to me. All I did was just pop it in and it worked fine.

Boot after resining.
I anticipated wraps but it is not happened

I know the top piece is just loosely sitting on top, but are the edges going to line up with the heel piece? If so, how did you ensure that when you resined?

 

[AoBfrost]

He could have resined them separately then after they were dry, attach them.

Wow, How long did it take to fold that boot/handplate? Very small and intricate folds, I could never glue something that small ;P.

Have you seen books with thin cover? That is what looks like cardstock after resining. It's very flexible, say as laminated paper for example. You right about lines, for now theyre wrong. But lines direction will be important at fiberglassing stage, not now.

I actually never did time study. This boot pepakura took me 2 days (with breaks for food, sleep, work etc). And about "intricate" folds - believe me, it isn't so hard to do them as it can looks. Just start and keep rowing

At a certain point though, the resin will kill all flexibility and if edges need to be pulled in to line up, you're SOL

...But lines direction will be important at fiberglassing stage, not now.

And that's more towards what I was getting at. I didn't know you were still at the thin resin stage, thought it might be thicker. I know how 1-2 coats of resin affect the paper. How do you plan on lining them up later (i.e. more resin/fiberglass stage)?

Wow Bevbor, nice job.

 

[Skidmorpheus]

Thank you guys for your appreciation. But I cannot stop and today
finished out of pep the MC Left Boot HD RG Model.

How much space was between the toe and heel of the work boot and the pep boot.
I think mine might be a little too big.
What do you think?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How did you fold those? Thats incredible O_O

 

[Robogenisis]

Bevbor, I just wanted to tell you that you might want to wait on fiberglassing the boot. I'm editing the boot models ATM, and should be done with them soon (hopefully today).

It's nothing major, I'm just making a 2-piece boot as well as the 3-piece, and I'm adding supports to both of them. You'll be able to use the supports from the new 3-piece model on the old one, you'll just have to guess where they go. That way all the pieces should line up well, and the piece will be in proportion.

Thank you Robo for warning. I'll be wait for your last version.
But now I prepared my boot for fiberglassing and cut out cloth.

Wait a minute! What this hinge is doing there?

 

[blackhawk35440]

hi, im new here, but i can't wait to see your finished armor and i think it looks great so far

 

[supertaco]

are you really going to use a hinge?
