Looking good. Perfect folds, resin, everything. Shows what can happen when people take their time. Keep it up.

Thanks! There's some stray strand of fiberglass stuck on the outside of the bicep piece, I'm guessing they were just some stuck on my gloves. So I have to pick them all off or bondo over them.

My next plan of action is to get the forearm to the point that the rest of the arm is at. Then I guess I should build the other bicep that's sitting on my work desk all printed out. Then, I suppose I should finish up FS's final helm. (I was i the process of looking where to put the floating faces on the second to last helm, but I saw all the little details in the final, that I had to build the final one. ) Then I should build the other forearm to finish up the left arm. Then I suppose I should build the torso to top off the upper body. Then, I suppose we'll see where we are at at that point. I'm aiming for Halloween. I hope the upper body will be finished by school starts. I better get cracking, only 25 days 'till school!

25th eh? Where I live, it's a law that you can't start before labor day.


Well, I got the bicep part built, just the bicep part though, I still have to build up the rest of the shoulder. But that should be finished by midday tomorrow I hope.

Has anybody had some major nerve problems this far into a piece? I'm always cared to start a new step on my primered pieces from fear of dorking up and starting over.

UPDATE

I was assigned for school to do a demo for something that we know how to do, more of a how-to. Naturally, armor was the only option. So this got myself in gear, for we had to have a finished product, so, with space's sake, I decided to do a handplate And I think I did pretty good;

Not too shabby for a 14 year-old I think.

Thats pretty freaking sweet microbe.
But don't let age fool you....
Just because were wisconsinites doesn't mean we dont know how to craft.

damn dude..your farther along than i am...im just tackling my second helmet...righteous though...i like the scout helmet you did...and props on the hand plate.....and your shoulder piece looks clean...

 

[RadioactiveMicrobe]

Thanks everybody. The demo went pretty good, I got a 110% on it.


I found a really good smoothing/sanding material to get it glass smooth with only a few strokes.


@Keegan: haha, we Wisconsinites have to stick together!

Btw, In the pic I noticed how the back of the piece looks warped a little, but it's not the case, I think it was the lighting or the angle I was holding the camera or something. It's perfectly even in real life.
