I'm back with updates. I have redone the helmet because I had to scale it up. I've coated the outside with resin. There seems to be no warpage. Tell me what you think.

it looks amazing it just needs some glass to keep its shape in so it wont warp on you or something like that

I got some more updates. The whole left arm is done in the pepakura stage. I have started adding details using card board and have fiber glassed the gut plate. Just need to add some rondo and sand.

Sarge crimson red, eh? Nice choice in colors, it will definitley do well when finished.
I'll help answer these guys questions VL, so your thread can keep living.
1. He uses cardstock (110 lb) like everyone else here.
2. Dont always rely on scaling your parts, use a tape measure sometimes, it will give you a better size, and i think you have some configuration problems.
3.Dont double post (hey, in before the firestorms)
Viper, why are you using the textures on the model, when you are just going to paint over it? Unless its for reference. Just saying, it saves tons of ink.

Sorry for the double post but I finished adding details to the left forearm.

Tripple post because nobody cares about my progress. I have added two layers of resin on the inside, one on the outside, then primed it.

Looking good so far man. It'll be great to have a Sarge to go with Caboose !
I wasn't sure if you are planning on adding some more details to the forearms. What I've seen and plan to do is to add a raised bar on this side here:
That runs straight down from that indent. Also around the cuff section at the end, it seems like that is two bands right on top of each other, I'll look through my stack of reference pictures and see if I can find a better example of what I mean.
