Bluesharpie's armor Update:10/31/07

[bluesharpie]

I started building my helmet at the beggining of October. I printed out Pepakura and made a big cardboard helmet held by tape. I made a second helmet, this time I scaled down and used poster paper and elmer's glue. It was too small so I got cardstock and hot glue. I made a helmet in between and it was perfect. I used the scaling thread to scale the rest of my armor. I started resining and fiberglassing this past week but i'm not sure if I can finish. I live in Hawaii and it's raining off and on, so i don't want to leave my things out. I'll post some pictures when my camera's done charging. But I want to finish by Halloween.

update: Ok I got the top of my armor complete now to do the bottom part tomorrow (they're still in cardstock form, no resin on it)
