Ok, well I started on this about a week ago, and have worked about 7 hour an evening, and about 20 hours just this past weekend. I started with the helmet, using poster board since that's all I had. There's a few spots that were botched up, but I managed to straighten them out easily enough. In intentionally left out the visor pieces because the poster board that I was using is very rigid, and needed no extra support.
There you can see it sitting on my noggin', almost complete.
There's a shot of it about 3/4 resined and fiberglassed. I work with very small portions or resin at a time, simply because I'm slow and it dries too fast. Below you can see the inside fiberglass, and some more of the resining. The front, for some reason, looks bent, but it's really not.
The rest is still in the paper stage, but here it is. So far I have the chest, right foot, and right leg pieces finished.
Let me know what you think.
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for under-armor? I'm thinking of using either metal snaps or velcro to attach the armor to the under-armor.
