My Eod Armor Build

[Vlad]

You're work is very good, Keep it up
Does the shoulder fit the other part? It looked a bit tight but that just might be the camera angle.
And what's that monkey thing called? My sister would love one of those

I think the shoulder will fit the other part pretty well. I put them on together to see how it would fit/look and it should be fine. Either way though, nothing a little bondo can't fix

--And the monkey thing, I'm not really sure what it was, I believe it was a towel for kids that had a hood and little... erm... handles? It was at Kohls if that helps at all. lol.

that one shoulder looks amazing - esp. if its done by someone who has never papercrafted before.


XD

 

[ratchet fan]

that looks good! it shows the flaw in mine! (a little too much resin on mine)

 

[Razgriz]

I see potential here. It's nice to see some new faces around.

looks good and everything, but do you really need a poll to figure out what to do next?

not really- I just already have everything printed, was wondering what people wanted to see next.

That EOD is looking brilliant! I have a feeling that its gonna turn out very nice indeeeeed!
There's some really clean folds there, it looks like you've done this a million times before.
As for what to do next - whatever you feel like! If you've been doing some hard pep work with the tiny folds, it might be nice to do something a little easier as a break!
Anyway's, really good work! Have a cookie.

Haha, thank you very much for the kind words. I'm hoping this will turn out well. I've not done it a million times, but I'm Definitely not new to Pepakura. Been doing it for years. Lots of fun little projects. I'm currently building the left shoulder brace and I'll finish the other EOD shoulder some other time haha.
but thanks! (especially for the cookie)

You're welcome! I'm pretty sure it will turn out great!

I epic failed the other day, and as far as I'm concerned all the way until now. While glassing the outside I found that i missed a spot...

how I missed such a large area (during and after the glassing process) is beyond me... anyway, nothing that can't be fixed with another layer

and a few pics of the fiberglass layed down. it's okay to just glue it in-- right?

 

[rvb18]

you can glue it in just put fiber glass resin over it, other wise it's just as hard as the resin on the out side

Thank you, I knew i had to resin over it, but I wasn't 100% on whether or not i could glue it in.

 

[Jessmo]

Nice work man. I really don't understand why you wanted to glue it in when you know you can just resin it in.. you confuzzle me sometimes. Anyways, still doing a great job there bud!

I have a couple of updates to post, but unfortunately my photobucket won't do anything but eat my uploads. I'm going to try once or twice more, and if it doesnt work, I'll just wait until after I go out and eat tonight.
Here's the one picture that managed to upload though

more to come! enjoy~

 

[baconmaster6969]

I have finally got my pictures to upload. I'm not really sure why it gave me so much trouble. But anyway, Here's where I stand right now...

some spots looks okay, some are very rough <<; I've done a little sanding since then, much much more to go. then after some bondo and detailing I'll be ready for paint

oh and I already found what i'm using as a visor....?

enjoy!

Looking good so far. EOD helmets, in my opinion, look like a baboon, because the face squishes in at the middle. What color are you going to paint it?

now that you mention it... it kind of does look like a baboon... anyway--
I'm going to paint it blue and orange, like in my signature
