Hiya guys!
Been working on a MKVI suit and I a few questions and would like some tips etc etc
A few pics HERE. Don't want to clutter the whole post up with huge pics.
Status:
Helmet: Okey for now
Torso: When should I split it? After/before I've resined the outside? After fiberglassing the inside? Tips?
Ab piece: Not attached to the torso. Should it be, or could I wear it some other way without it looking weird?
Shoulders: Okey for now, I think. They look horrible though.
Forearm: Okey for now
Pelvis: Not yet resined. It's kinda big and very flimsy, anyone have a tip on how to position/stretch it good while fiberglassing so it's got a good form when it's hardened?
Thighs: These didn't turn out very hard after resined, and it's a little bit bent at the bottom. I think I can probably fix that with bondo or fiberglass or something though.
Greaves: Okey for now
Boots: I'm not doing boots at all unless I have a lot of time left. I really want to be done with everything by June 15th.
Overall: Turns out I'm an idiot and pretty crap at resining. I've gotten these hardened pools of resin on my pieces from when I've put them down to harden. Example:
What should I do? I tried ripping some of it away with my hands but I'm really worried I'll tear of something important soon. I tried sanding it away by hand and with machine, but it's not easy.
I'm kind of afraid of fiberglassing, since the resining didn't go extremely well. Having to keep track of bits of fiberglass while resining the inside seems really hard. Is there any good alternative method to fiberglassing the inside? Some girl on the internet told me about water-activated tape, asked her where she got it but haven't heard from her since.
