I have to say that ur foam skills or superb!
Incredible build thusfar! Great job on the MK.VI Chest piece and the Defender helmet! Everything is just so well made, haha.
Quick question though; For your shin/ boot armor, are you using thinner EVA foam or foamies? The edges are so amazingly clean!
Really cool build man, I especially like the scratch built mk 6 chest. I for one would definitely be interested in the contravision you mentioned as I'm trying to get that reflective orange, "Legendary" look for my visor. Anyways keep up the good work.
dude this looks amazing so far, you do excellent work mawr. What is that material your using though, it doesn't look like any foam I've seen? The way it comes out so clean and "rounded" almost looks like fondant for cakes lol.

Very nice work indeed!
A question about Jesmonite, though - I see you shop with MB Fibreglass, as I do, so it's good to know I can get it from there, but: are there any benefits to it over, say, standard polyester resin? Can you use it indoors without the risk of killing everyone? Since it's cold here in England right now (I'm sure you'll attest to that, what with the recent storms), I'm trying to find a viable alternative that'll let me keep working in the winter.
Ah, I see.
As I said, I tend to get most of my fibreglass products from MB Fibreglass' eBay store. I use their Polylite and Polycraft polyester resins - they're absolutely great in the warm weather, especially when you get the ratios for product and catalyst right, but as I said, I'm looking for a viable 'indoors-friendly' winter alternative. So, just as a base, these are my main concerns:
- Does it produce a nasty smell (particularly one that lingers)? Could one use it in, say, the kitchen, if one cleaned up well?
- What's the work time with a properly-mixed, properly-measured batch?
- How hard and heavy are the finished pieces?
That's absolutely great to know. As soon as funds permit I'll be getting a kit of this stuff - after some discussion with my work partner we've decided to use Jesmonite to harden at least the inside of the work. Whether or not we find it viable for the external detail has to be decided.
Ha hopefully see you at comicon or euro gamer.....next year (hopefully)
Well Euro millions is £80 mil this week!! HAha and whats 'excalibur Company' sounds hella tight.
As for the 405th flag I was actually thinking maybe make a pistol with a 405th CTF style flag as we can print flags at work...
