bevbor's armor

LOL! Checking dumpsters for fiberglass, you;re lucky! Very nice find!

 

[Vexona]

Wow that's awesome Dumpster diving ftw.

You cut fiberglass so neatly, that's so impressive. When I cut my fiberglass cloth it looked like spiderman did it....a web of strands everywhere haha.

You've gone the xtra mile with your shoesies. Yours won't suffer from the famous click clack syndrome since you kept the sole via the hinge.

I've got more glass fibres!

Actually, I do not buying it, I'm just checking trash containers of a few big factories Thus I have such "mix" of various fibres with different textures.

what kind of factories do you get it from, surfboard factories?

One of them builds boats, second does plane parts repairs and third produces covers for telecom antennas.

The paper I use for Pepakura

I'm starting to build last Flying_Squirl's helmet.
I unfolded it by myself. I edited flaps on surfaces that must be curved to easier alignment - teeth-blank-teeth-blank etc. This really helps a lot. See the picture.

That's wierd. I did the exact same thing. I did it first though It really does help a lot with aligning all the pieces up.

ooohhhyea, i did this on one of the older helmet but totaly forgot. i think i got the idea from robo. you didnt happen to save the file did you?

 

[bevbor]

you didnt happen to save the file did you?

I did save it, why do you ask?

Btw I have additional unfoldding trick to keep the alignment of cheek part easier:

 

[flying squirl]

hmmm... can i haz it for the download data base?



oh and, was that cheek bit not a SOAB to cut and stick?

 

[AoBfrost]

All of the sudden, your helmet FS looks like a child could assemble it, the ieces are so large and easy to fold according to bevbor's cut outs, I want it!

You will have it. But now this file good enough for me and not for others cuz it isn't finished and arranged properly. It will take day or two for me to finish it. Bdw I didn't cut this SOAB part yet and cannot say how it SOAB is, I did cut and stick ony approx 1/3 of helmet, mostly back bottom part.

That is what I'm exactly trying to do - unfold helmet so that it will be constructed only from a few big parts.

After a lil break I return to boots. Here are the struts for fiberglassing RG HD boot's top part.

 

[AoBfrost]

Be sure to PM me when you finish unfolding it ;p

Are you unfolding for letter or a4?

 

[bevbor]

AoB, deal.
I did it for A4. We're not use letter paper here. =(
After lil experiments with previous SOAB cheek parts I tossed them out of the window
The were too wavy.
I did rethink unfolding and here are my new parts:

Those "painful" flaps minimized to 2 mm and their corners set to 90 degrees.
It is not necessary to bend them too much so I did them easier to cut.

 

[AoBfrost]

Very nice bevbor! I might make it with your unfold.

Buzz lightyear, commander of starcommand! TO, infinity and beyond! Hes so pwnage, lol, boots are looking great bevbor.

 

[bevbor]

Glued part turned out incredible smooth
