Okay, well, Halloween is around the corner, and I wanna go as something completely awesome, so I decided on the Master Chief. Sorry I don't have pics yet, but I'll definitly have them up by 4 PM or so tomorrow. Me and my dad have so far applied the first layer of resin to the outside of the helmet, right handplate, right shoulder, and right shin. I'm almost finished pepping the right boot and right forearm, and I'm cutting the chest (again).
The way I'm doing this, I cut out all the pieces of a given piece of armor, fold, then take the piece and glue any place(s) where it glues to itself. Once I have all the pieces cut out, I immediatly start cutting out the next piece while I glue the newly cut out one. In this way I can make steady progress with making three or four pieces at a time. Think I can have it finished by Halloween?
I generally work on it for 6-8 hours a day every day, so I think I can. As I said, pics tomorrow.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, that resin is potent stuff. It's been nearly 10 hours since we resined and the entire house still smells like resin, even though we did it in the garage...
