dam nice bolts you got there, i don't even see a single pin hole, that's incredible.
Didn't change a thing, printed and peped. Not sure if you looking at the right file or not?? They are in the files linked on the first page of my thread.
Sorry for the 20 questions, Im just really curious. This is my first build and I cannot mess up. My mom is a bit of a hot head so if I were to bail out on the build like right now(which is not gonna happen), she would freak out.
I was looking for a nice pep project, and that suit looks great. However, when I tried to download the first file, this is the message I received.
"You are already downloading a file from IP-address blah-blah. To download another file you have to wait until current download process is finished.
In case you are not downloading anything and got this message, then you are using a proxy-server or a shared IP-address.
With Premium account you can download many files at the same time even if the proxy-server is used. Get your Premium account right now to download instantly."
The other 3 files work fine. Did anyone else get a message like that?

Sorry I'm not sure I understand are you asking how I'm putting the armor together or what I'm using for the elbow, knee and ab sections. If it's the later I'm going to cast them out of latex or Urethane rubber.
Yep I know all about compression articulation, it would be fine but the paint will suffer. You can't make it work and have it painted, it will scratch/chip. The ideal way to make that work is hardened steel, keeps it's shape and you couldn't scratch it anything less than a file. If I were to make it out of something else Teflon sheet comes to mind but good luck painting that and or finding the exact colour. Good luck with that, just too much messing around for a fun project for myself. Latex or Urethane is quick and easy, you can paint it and it'll move with you no problem.

Thank you Finhead. That works fine now, and I really apprciate your effort to help a fellow forum member (especially such a junior one).
