Hey WelshWarrior, that sounds like a plan! The fiberglassing looks great! I bet that doing that (splitting the torso into multiple pieces) will work very well for you! In fact, I think that's what I'll do when I resin my own torso (lol, which isn't even printed yet). I'm sorry it experienced a bit of warping, but I guess that's just inevitable. (Although I bet it would warp less had you used Mks18's unfold of the torso, which, although it has more strips, has many fewer areas with cuts but really-really small tabs ).
Also, the chest plate is looking good! Can't wait to see more stuff glassed!

Got alot done today with the chest piece, managed to fill in all of the major holes with bondo,
mmmmmmmmmm bondo
Then sanded it all off then went over with some wet and dry paper,
nice smooth and shiny.
Probably will give it a coat of primer in an hour or so just to show all the imerfections and marks.

Looks Amazing! What brand of filler are you using? Looks like the stuff Skip uses from Halfords.
It has a green'ish colour as opposed to a pinky/cream. I'm tempted to try this filler.
Cant wait to get back to university after and finish my helmet.
Awesome work, cant wait to see more from you

cheers for the compliments smilie, the body filler im using is the loctite body filler that i got from fast parts for a fiver.
Anyways managed to get the primer on, not as bad as i thought it would be and there are only a few places that need doing

Wow, you work fast. And well, for that matter. Great job with the bondo, the piece looks smoother than a babys bottom. Looks like the armor is gonna turn out great!

hey guys, update here and im really really pee'd off with myself. I got the piece as smooth as i could, put down 3 coats of base primer, then went over with 2 coats of black, and i gorra say it looked really good,
it was all going well until me being. the total noob that i am, tried to tape up the bits i wanted black while i sprayed it the yellow colour its supposed to be. i tried the tape i was using on an inconspicuios spot and it worked really well, but when i put it on the two pannels(think thas what there called) it didnt feel right going on, so when i pulled it off on one pannel it left all sticky residue behind and the other just ripped all the black and primer off. i was heart broken so for the last 2 hours i have been trying to repair it so this is where i am now,

hey, i had a big problem with paint this week which caused me to have to strip both side sections of the chest pannel, this was really annoying to do and in the end almost gave up.
So i started to finish the centre equipment pouch, didnt bother with using bond so i went straight with spot putty filler jus to fill in all the seems and cracks, Its now all ready for primer :rolleyes
so heres what it looks like
Ive also got the chest piece back to a primer-able condition
I know it looks a mess but its all smooth, although it looks far from it from a distance,For some reasson when i went to put the final coat of black on it all started to bubble, you can probably see where the worst of it was due to the exposed bondo, so this time im going to follow the painting tut on here and take my time with it.
Will have both these pieces primered tonight with no hopefully no mishaps.

Hey guys, havent had any updates for a while but over the weekend i managed to get some work done, pic heavy.
first off i started shaping the two middle back sections with bondo
I have also bondo'd the equipment pouch which i am now filling all the holes and imperfections on,
But finally, the thing thats been keeping me occupied for a while, is almost finished.
The main colours are on which i think match the Tarkov colour scheme pretty close. The two sections are a dark grey but the camera makes them seem black. All i've got to do now is add the weathering and damage, plus the the odst logo and Tarkovs name.
Updates tomorrow
