New to 405th, not new to armor builds.

[The Black Hatter]

Fiberglassed my back just now. Pictures up pretty soon.

 

[The Black Hatter]

Alright, fiberglassed the last major section on my chest plate, im very happy about that! After this i just need to add a few touch up pieces and ill be done with this stage. Then its onto sanding, and maybe i'll bondo this piece? well, anyway, im very excited. Summer school also ends this week, so more work shall be getting done (hopefully)

Nice build up, I've still yet to start on mine but some pieces are left glaring at me in the corner. Good luck looks like everything is coming together nicely.

 

[The Black Hatter]

Ha ha, ah well thank you. I just (Finally) removed most of the structural supports, and plan on sanding in within the next week or so. I'll need to find some funds, and if i can i can get some bondo, however its not a prime thing on my list. So far, im happy with the sizing of my chestplate, and am thinking its going to fit marvelously. I want to take pictures and upload them but my camera just crapped out on my, so ill have to figure something out. If i can, i'll have pictures pronto.

Edit:: What do you know, i was able to use it! So as i was saying i jsut need to add some touch up pieces, and fill in the little shoulder squares, then on to sanding.
Let there be pics!

that looks really good, but to bad about the helmet becoming warped

 

[Propcustomz]

I like the chest, looks awesome. I think you need to do some laundry btw

 

[The Black Hatter]

@Anjose: yeah, the helmet didnt have any structural supports, so i had a little y-axis droopage. Other wise it doesnt look to bad.
@Propcustomz: Thanks you, and yes, yes i do have to do laundry. I also have to put away last weeks laundry.

[The Black Hatter]

Haha, ill never mind another "great job"!

 

[The Black Hatter]

Just a quick update,im plannning on sanding down some areas on my chest today, and i just finished peping on of the hand plates. I hate puting together hand plates soo much. Did i mention how much is hate it? I couldnt even dream of doing the high def on so i went with crazy low def, and its the hand plates, whoo cares. People will be looking at the weapon.

It fits well.

LOL same here dude!

LOL same here dude!

Its just tedious work that requires your full attention and patience.

 

[Tayl0r]

I agree. The hand plates are so annoying! But it is worth it after you complete it!

 

[The Black Hatter]

If you think so.

 

[markanator13]

any more progress?

 

[The Black Hatter]

To answer your question ,yes, but very litt.e I've been slacking off this week. DX I did start sanding the chest today, annnd i cut out the neck part so i can now wear it. Heres a picture.

Unfortunatly, being tall and skinny, my shoulders are a little too small to fit into the armor comfortable, so im not sure what ill do there. I'm going out to prime it right now, so it can easier sand it.

Primed and sanding.

 

[harican89]

you make that really awesome and make clear folds.
but why are you so fast with your painting.
you should make some coats of paint / primer and sanding it (repeat it sometimes)... the color looks way better if you take your time and not make only one thick coat

 

[The Black Hatter]

I just wanted a thick coat of prinmer tyo make all the imperfections easily visible, its not painted yet.

 

[The Black Hatter]

Just finished resining the Ab-plate section of the chest piece. I'll have pictures up soon. I've also been sand like a crazy, but unfortunaly, im dead broke so bondo is looking less and less like a reality.-shrugs- Just means more sanding sorta.

So many cans of Resin~

some sanding done
