Hmm, these pictures are bigger files than I thought. I'm probably going to have to double.....or triple...or whatever-le post to get the ones I need on. I hope you dont mind. Kind blurry pics, sorry, the Autofocus is kinda bad.
Well, those are pretty much the progress of my magnum EXCEPT for the slide, scope etc, they pretty much just arent in....one piece yet.

Yeah, feel way free to criticize my armor suckiness, I would really prefer that to the nice sorta stuff.

Edit: I am getting rid of the old pics to save some space.

Looks good!

(now off topic):
you know that 1080p is 'full hd' well your camera takes 1728p images :p
I would recomendend setting the resolution lower in your camera because there is really no use for huge pics, and it will save alot of memory on your flash memory card.

The megapixels in the camera mean how big the resolution is... you never need a high resolution for a camera... people think that they are cool if they have a 12Megapixel camera, it doesnt really matter. It's the camera Lense wich gives the quality, the megapixels only effect the size of the image i mean i can print on A1 paper with 4,2 megapixels with no image quality reduced, who needs a 12 megapixel camera? those are used to make those huge poster adverts seen in buildings...

I'm not saying your like this... i just wanted to define the megapixels.

hehe yeah, its my dads camera and I reeeeeeeally don't want to go screwing around with it. I don't think that would go too well. I am not too adept at electronics. Thanks for the tip Finnish. I actually have pictures of my 3 forearm pieces, only one of which I think is anywhere near decent, and my half helmet, which is NOWHERE near decent. Also got some hand guards and am gonna start the shins today.

In fact Finnish, you're wrong. Megapixel does affect quality. More megapixel means more image sensors, so more little details detected, as lights.


Back on topic : Good start, nice to see your progress. Keep us updated ;)

Nah, it actually feels pretty good on me, i'm just BARELY 6' and 123 lbs., which is INSANE! thats probably why it looks so big.

Yeah, she really didnt wanna move that much, plus shes pretty fotogenic. Her name's Blarg Blarg, for all you RvB fans!

one tip though.


dont glob the glue in one spot on the tab, spread it evenly and in a thin layer, thus saving glue, making it easier to sand in the fiberglass stage, and saving your skin (literally)
