Hey Guys,
Last night, I finished putting on the Hayabusa attatchment on and I will have pics up tonight!!!
Wone tinsy-winsy pwobwem toh! I wasn't able to get online yesterday, and Spartan 2, I JUST CUT THE HINGE!!!! AAAAH!!!
Well I guess Im just gonna have to live with it. I guess I can just Temporarily hotglue it together and then Resin It. So what did you say Ytturim? Does autozone have the cheapest price? A gallon or two can really help me out!!!.
Well, recently, Ive decided I can live without bondo. I will just brew up something else.
As I will be saving up for resin and Halo 3: ODST, I will think of some Ideas. (IM STILL FLIPPIN BROKE!!!! )

Sure, sure. "Couldn't get online". Uh-huh. You just didn't want to listen to me, lol. Tsk, tsk...
Honestly, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. My understanding is that it's just easier to keep it one piece while initially resining/fiberglassing it, to help it keep the proper shape. But, I would imagine hot-gluing it together while hardening the chest armour will work just fine

[attachment=9182allin_armor_2.jpg]
Also, I put the hayabusa attatchment on my armor. It was a pain in the BUTT!!!!

Sorry it took me a day or two but I was busy with the new e-zine format. Anyhow here's the cheapest quality armor I've ever seen:

Maybe something in there can help you. Good luck.

Hey guys,
New update. I have recently pepped my back armor (AGAIN!!! Thanks to Mimi!!!) and I have paper mache'd it today. My hands are still pretty messy . But one problem, black storm cloud came back. I saved My armor just in time to hang it in my room and let it dry there. That's how my 2nd helmet got destroyed *Audience like* (What? I didn't Tell you?) So i am going to pep my next helmet (#3) and I will have it paper mache'd by (I hope) next weekend.
Thanks,
Dallin

Hey guys,
I have some questions. 'Bout how much is bondo at some places. I am looking, but I want to find out some good prices for It. And I could probably look At Timecon's stuff for detailing. I have ton's of Painting tape from when We were painting the house several months ago. So do you have any good prices on bondo?
Let me know,
Dallin

I buy my Bondo at WalMart (mostly because I work there and get a 10% discount ) and it costs something like $18 or so for a Gallon of Bondo. Good buy in my opinion.

Hey Guys,
I was thinking something. Maybe I can try putting, like, a special back pack on the back of my Torso. I have found tons of Cardboard in my old room, so I probably could make a backpack that attatches to my torso armor. I could Paint It Black or Grey, Put the UNSC symbol on It, Make it open and Stuff, ETC.
Oh, and If you want another update, I am halfway finished of pepping My THIRD helmet. So If you want pics, they will probably be up by tomorrow or tonight.
Also, I have a 9th Grade Dance this friday (But Lagoon day would be alot better, but nooo, they had to CANCEL THE DANG THING EVEN THOUGH US STUDENTS ARE THE ONES WHO PAY FOR THE F$#^$ING THING!!!! ). Any way, I can't wait for any dances (Even though when we are dancing, Keep "Book-of-Mormon-lying-flat" distance, or the seminary teacher will spray us with a spray bottle [it aint fun]) So anyway, wish me luck on my armor.

Hey Guys,
I have another update. I am now about 20 dollars richer, and I am going to buy a few things later. I have just remembered that I have used bondo before in my woods class for the Electric Guitar I built (It works, but I am thinking of doing a new paintjob.) and I have some vital experience I need. 2nd, I realized that the helmet that I built was Master Chief's size, so I am now working on the other, harder file that I worked with before :rolleyes . So now all I need to do is to pep it, then I will finish my pelvis peppakura this weekend at the latest.

Well guys,
My stuff was totally destroyed, so I had given up on this armor build. So Now I am doing better stuff, like HD and actual resin. I guess I will have to start another thread. I think I will use SkullCandyGirl's Aqua Resin method or maybe the Hotglue Method. But for now, Paper Mache is DEAD! No more Cheap armor.
