Well this is it! I have been planning on doing this build for a while but now that I have started on some of these pieces and I think I can finally post here. Yup I have a lot of big plans for this suit, the main one being molding and casting my helmet. I have watched a TON of tutorials so I am ready to put all my knowledge to the test. I have finished (basically) pepping the helmet. and Have also started on the Kukri. I have a bit of work done on the chest, but I'll get more pics of that when I finish it. I am doing a foam suit, but I was hoping to follow James Burton's ( or is it Bruton?) tutorials and coat the whole thing in some polyurethane to get the hard plastic-like shiny suit that I have always wanted. I picked up some scrap wood from a construction site so I am going to be building a vaccum former from that as well within the next week. Well Enjoy what I got so far!
Also I see a lot of people with tiny images in their posts, is that what everyone does now? or are they just too lazy to upload to photobucket? I personally dont like having to open a link to see the full size image
The knife blade was surprising easy to make. I bought some base wood at michaels and it was able to cut with just a razor blade. Then I used some sort of gardening tool to sharpen the edge. It isnt too big of an edge,but its there
