I've decided I'm far enough along to post a few pictures of my attempts at prop making. No, I don't know the names of the things I'm doing. I'm picking out what looks cool to me, building them, and I wanted people to see how it goes and turns out.
I'll be adding to this post as my adventure unfolds so people don't have to read through an entire thread to see how it's comming along, although, there may be tips and help, which is welcome, from other members throughout the thread.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.
First, I started pepakura with something easy, a LD shoulder (in photo below). then I decided that it didn't have enough detail for me. I then did a HD shoulder (also in photo below.
Well, I put two coats of resin on the outside, then started fiberglassing the inside.
Unfortunatly in my haste (noob), I didn't quite wait long enough for it to dry. the bicept warped and ended up inside the shoulder and touching it. So, what does a noob do? Cut it,duct tape it and refiberglass it in the right position.
Next Step: Smoothing The Twist...
Pepped the chest..
more to come...
