After 2 years I hit the magic #60 post so I can do this in the right forum. I have been having trouble finding motivation so I hope posting my progess provides encouragment and a sense of urgency to finish it to show the people who will (hopefully) be following my progress.
This is my first test set of armour (minus the helmet) where I learned the ins and outs of fiberglass. I know it sucks but I've learned from my mistakes and my new armour will be much better. For the full story of my helmet go here (it was a low def Jedi Fraz turned high def through the magic of bondo. My Helmet
Though only the helmet is fully completed the people at my high school (from which I recently graduated) loved it and I won a costume contest even.
My dog (Jenny) didn't like the costume as much.

This is my new COD piece. I like the medium detail pep files then do all the detail with bondo since I find I can make modifications to the armour that make it more personal/customized. I also have trouble with larger pep models.
Most of the detail is done. It just needs touch ups and some sanding before I begin the primer and paint. This scheme will be the exact same as the helmet, I hope
.
The back pack is a more recent project and I have been having some trouble. This particular model is the 3rd I've created, the first one was too small, then too large, then perfect. But after I did some resining I left it outside to dry...and it rained. The moisture caused it to warp pretty bad so I had to add a bunch of supports and re-resin before the glassing. I hope it turns out.
Those last couple of pics are just for sizing to see how it works. The chest/backpack is a bit big but being only 18 i'll probably grow a bit fatter.
