My Project

[xrallyman]

I am going to be constructing my first suit and I cant wait, I'm going to be working very hard on my armor and i should have an update by tomorrow.

By the way, before i start, is there anything i should know that many people over look?

Thanks

try not to make the helmet too chunky. :mrgreen: But, looking forward to seeing it.

Don't print out all the pieces before you get the scale correct.

 

[Iceman29]

Just looks at the Stickies above if you haven't already, and know what they are telling you to do.

 

[IceTray]

If you dont trust scaling, just print out copies on normal paper, ensures you get the size you want, without wasting cardstock

Hey Everyone, I have just finished my helmet and have already started on my chest.

Sorry though, no pics as of now,
I should have some in my next update
Also
What would be better,
Foaming with Great Stuff then fiberglassing
or
fiberglassing then Foaming (so the foam doesn't make the helmet expand to much)

woah, you finished your helmet that fast?
you'll probably want to make sure you have some kind of padding in your helmet.

 

[xrallyman]

yeah, i wasnt in a hurry or anything but i worked till about 2 then i woke up at about 8 and started work again,i was finished at around 3 or so
But im happy with the results.

Use a pen and ruler to fold, or else it'll suck.

 

[drgon47]

[xrallyman]

Awesome first start, good luck on fiberglassing!!!!

 

[UnDedSnipr]

Looking good! Did you use super glue or hot glue I can't tell? Keep up the good work!

 

[xrallyman]

ehh, i used hot glue,
I had to hold it and i was like "ow the pain"
but it was all worth it
By the way, im almost done with my shoulder pads (chest) so i'll be posting some pics of that too
