well, its been a while, life managed to interrupt my work! but with the lovely weather we are having in the uk, i managed to get a little more work dont, i started with polishing my helmet
(sorry about the photos and their quality, my camera has gone missing, so i'm using my camera phone!)
and i have managed to widen the base enough to fit it on my massive head, and not tear off my equally big ears!
theres more sanding and filling to be done, but spraying a base coat on it has helped me see where the work needs doing! and despite one members poo-pooing of my fg'ing on the outside (he seems to know alot for someone who hasn't actually done anything significant on here!), its turned out really well i think, i just need to work on its symmetry too.
i've also started on my shins, one was an epic fail (it got knocked over by my dog, and the glass mat slipped...)
but the other shin worked out really well, even though the 1st photo looks like its about to go to a flashback!
three was a little warping, but not of the overall shape, just where the calf "muscle" bit of the greave bulges out its a little more concave than convex, filler should sort that though!
and i've started glassing my right boot
and with the weather set to be good tomorrow too, i'm feeling confident about getting more done
also, i have to say, i've been testing the jemsonite stuff that xrobots its selling (that he is also using for his iron man suit) and its actually really great! easy to use, and actually has a really pleasent smell, unlike epoxy! it works out cheaper too, he's genuinely not asked me to say any of this either, i'm just really pleased with the results of it!
so, what do you think of the show so far?
