it works well for robo's armor, not really syflo's.

no I'm only done the helmet and I'm going to finish the hand things soon

OMGISHUH! I made this nice lon ddescriptive proress report, but while I was in another windo which was not full screen but very close, I accidentally close the internet -.- Well now that my fingersthawed out from the bone chilling coldi n which I worked on my Halo costume (even though it has slow curing, it's actually a good tihng because you can work more efficiently and have nice looooooooooong breaks). Btw, my finger are covered in glue adhesive and baby powder so my hands aren't feeling comfortable. Annywaysssss progress progress progress!!!! Even though I'm only 15, I'm pretty sure I'm working nicely! I'm at least happy anyway. Soooooo my helmet has been resined two coats inside and out (inside: resin, fibercloht, resin, outside: resin, resin) and the same goes forthe hand plates. They are jsut drying and should be rock hard and VERY light. They are still very bumpy and rigid and weird because thts how resin dires, but once everything is dry, I can sand it to good shape before bondoing and detailing. On a side note, my work on the chest plate is going along smoothly and I'm still not deciding to rush! Well, maybe a little. Furthermore, I added the hose inserts near the mouth and resined on top (the grooves will be sanded in again if tehy are filled by resin, but I need it to be very hard ) and this was done before the second resin coat. Well I've got some pic-a-tures for you!!!! Here they are: Oh yeah I coated my thing after the full thing was covered inresin with baby powder wich takes away the stickiness so I could work on the hose inserts so if you get sticky, use baby powder.
BTW excuse my typing its niot so good when Im not paying attention and Im too lazy to change it so sorry but deal with it
This helmet is all crusty now But I'll fix it.

chest seems crooked though...it hasn't been resined yet though...quick question, what do you do to keep your work straight as you resin, I had an issue with my last helm (non-high detail helm) which was one of the reasons I restarted (using high detail model) and so far, it seems to lean in some places due to the paper, in a way which can be fixed if it's held in place by something.
So anything special you do to keep your pieces straight and symmetrical while the resin is applied and cured?
I love your helmet, can't wait to see what the helmet will be like fully finished.

Ad pillowfire, the chest is only half done so I don't know if it SHOULDN'T be crooked . Um, I pretty much use glue to help support it and llike if somethign was crooked i would bend it in the opposite way and gleu and it wud settle strait. So yeah if you needmore help just pm me Also add support struts.

I know, I went to both Circuit city and Canadian tire. They had a small one, but not the right one.
What's the diameter of your wire loom?

Hey guys I should be done the chest today I'm in comm tech class rite now but when I get home I'll finishthe chest and I have to get the helmet and hand plates sanded so I can bondo them. Btw, I bought a cheap visor and an expensive visor both the same off ebay and both are fog free (both are scorpion exo gold shields) for 40$ and 70$. The 70$ one shud be here soon ,but the $40 was supposed to be here. However, I got a full refund for it and its weird cuzz I didnt want one so I guess its not coming.
