Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates.
I'v been getting things all day.
Lets start with bondo YaY

Heres my paint all i'm missing is gunmetal.

I'm making odst gloves from needle, thread, gloves, and foam from mouse pad.
Heres the foam part.

2 volt led i have 6 of these. It's in the container i have 6 of those also.

The big scary monster came and helped me with resistors.

Last but not least $12 12volt fan. Im using it for air conditioned shoe. jk

I had to use a different camera this time so its less detail.

Sure

I just did my first time on a soldering iron.
I modded my xbox controller so one of the buttons would light up.
Q:
lets say i have 5 leds. all the leds need 2 volts

9:30 Am us eastern
More updates last night i fiberglassed the knee piece above.
I just finished bondoing it.
ill check on it in 30 min.
I tried priming my marine helmet.
It turns out i think the paint dried on the valve and i didnt even use it yet.
Luckily i didn't have to pay for it and i can get more free at my grandpas house.
Thats right 1000 cans of primer free.

12:05 Pm us eastern
hers my knee piece bondoed i can find a way to sand it so its nice and flat. Should i just add another coat of bondo?

The back is fiberglassed

Ok so assault rifle is my favorite weapon ingame. I think it is time to bring it out of the game. BTW sry for qaudrouple post.
AR
A look inside the barrel

Just lookin awesome.

This assault rifle will be peped by the weekend. Saturday morning or friday afternoon i will do 2 coats of resin. Resin dries and i paint it. It will be done on sunday.

Finally some updates

i have been working very hard on the AR. Last weekend i resined it. Now all i need is sanding and painting. There are also other pieces that i have worked on but not posted.

Here is a half resined assault rifle. The resining is on the back. The other side is just cardstock paper.

Fully resind and some weird silver at the end.

Terrible action shot.

Front of barrel curved to left.

So my AR is hardened. All it needs is sanding and some spray paint. I will add weathering with sanding.
I have made a pistol from cardboard and papermache. It is the one on youtube unders catheys tutorials. It has removable magazines and a slide. I was rushing when i did the paper mache so it was not as smooth as it could've been. I didnt want to sand because paper mache just has airbubles. When you sand those it wouldn't be flat. I dont have andy pics because i just painted the handel black so it has to dry. When it does i will put tape on handle i want black and do the rest silver.it should be completly done by tomorrow or tonight. If you can't view pictures or want to see more click HERE.
