nice work crackhead! how did you attach the armor to the shoes?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but what are you using for paint? I really like the color...it's probably the closest I've seen to MC's actual coloring.

You're doing an AMAZING job! I can only hope mine comes out half as good as yours.

Oh, and do you need a custom skin made for your Guitar Hero guitar? I do fully custom skins on automotive-grade vinyl, including the head of the neck. PM me or email me if you're interested.

Looks like anodized bronze by Rust-Oleum.

 

[bugman72]

Anodized Bronze....but it looks green ? Or, in this case, is "bronze" not bronze? Either way, I really like the color and want to do something very similar to mine.

i got a question for the mold making people i just ordered my brush on 35 rubber and i was wondering how far will a gallon get me? what i would like to do is mold the legs meaning 2 thighs and 2 shins and i was wondering if 1 gallon will cast that

and heres some pics i promised

the other thigh is done and the other shin is being fiberglassed and the other shoe is being glassed hopefully i get the fiberglassing done before the hurricane

Awesome work crackhead

I heard you could mold 2 helmets with 1 gallon of rebound 25.

I'm not familliar with Brush-On 25 tho so I can't tell for sure. Do you have a thinning agent to save some rubber?

well the story i read and i thing it occured in england was a kid decided to drink 4 of them before a basketball game them suffered a heart attack while playing and cookie to those who post the red bull stuff

but damn red bull is stull good

and for discussion how about doing a flood attachment for the armor like a chief infected suit but the infection parts can be added to the armor and what about doing a flood costume? for halloween i think it would look cool to hand candy out in such a costume

A few days late... Red Bull only has ~80mg of Caffine in it. Really not alot, unless your not at all used to anything caffenated. Two years ago there was a drink called Cocaine which was the equivilant of drinking three-and-a-half redbulls, but in a 8oz can. It was taken off the market after a few months...

Most caffine you can drink without getting a massive headache and the munchies (yes, you get HUNGRY) is like ~500mgs. I've topped 750mgs, but it's not fun... Unless you really need to stay awake or if your bored. Kills your sex drive, you sleep like crap for a week afterwards, and causes kidney stones. Not run...

Looks good, I'm using this to help me do mine. Thanks.

Looks really good man. Are you done yet? D Con is quickly approaching...

 

[spiker369]

alright heres an update guys

i finished fiberglassing the biceps and the torso is next in line and right now im almost done with nuggets forearms and heres some pics

are these extra things of paper around the visor needed before fiberglassing? cause i'm making the halo 2 ODST and it didn't have those...

 

[mchammertime]

They are suport struts. they are put with the hd models, because they have more detail. if you are doing the h2 odst you should be fine without them

 

[crackhead09]
