[LacyBandita]

left shin is done and the boots arrived on friday! i have the day off today so im going to try and complete the pair!

 

[foxleader]

why yes they are

 

[foxleader]

need to break them in.

 

[Skullptura]

Lol i think i got a pair exactly like those rofl. I use them for my swat gear!

 

[LacyBandita]

its official guys the suit will not be complete by christmas. =( im a little bummed but each part will be done and fiberglassed just not bondo yet. that way i can take my time with detailing and sanding. Too many things going all at once in order for a complete suit but i thank you all for the support so far! i will still continue to show the armor progression! <3

don't rush it, take your time with it, it could take 6 months to fully build the armor, or even a year.
if you start to rush you'll eventually start to mess up, i know I've made that mistake already.
your work looks great so far, have a good Christmas and a happy new year

 

[LacyBandita]

hey guys sorry i hadnt posted more progress pictures, i was working double time on the suit to make sure all the pieces were pep-ed in time and... they were! i was only able to fiberglass the outside of the entire suit but none the less it looked good! can't wait to do the inside and start on that bondo! So the helmet did fit, although it was a little snug but im still in the mind set for making a bigger one for fan installation and what not! and now i present you, my very happy boyfriend (wearing the fiberglassed helmet) laying next to his surprise christmas present!

and as a note all the pieces were a few inches spread apart from each other so it's the perfect size!

 

[Skullptura]

OMG I loled so hard. That last picture lookslike you might have been putting on the armour but passed out. Awesome work man. Cant wait to see that whole suit on and done up!

[DBmike]

Lol that picture is hilarious! Great work too!

 

[foxleader]

okay just wanting to know did you have it layed out already or was in in one big box to let me figure it out?

I laid it out in his garage and then had him walk in. After pulling an all nighter to fiberglass I honestly didnt feel like wrapping =P I hadnt seen it put together either so it was a nice surprise for both of us
