idk about MK VI, but the reach armor has a female version (I guess it has a wider cod or somethin, idk somethin's different about it), that may help if you feel you have to redo the cod(i vow to never redo anything, my frickin hand is killin me!!!!) anyway, it looks great!
oh, ok since I'm not a female (no sexism intended) i didn't pay much attention to it..the reach female version is almost the same as the male, the only major visible difference is that the front piece doesn't hang down as far.
Cod's looking good, when my reach armor is done, I'm thinking about making Church or Tucker. Still have plenty of time to decide because I just started the reinforcing process.

Cod is looking great! And I know how you feel about it- I've got concerns about it fitting my cod too XD Damn birthing hips!!
All I can say is try not to worry about it =] were here to support, not to criticize

I think this time of year can stop almost everybody in the U.S. except for the southern states. In VA it's too cold to work with the resin, so I'm constantly waiting for a spot in my dad's shop to open up so I can work for a couple of days.
a friend of mine told me to put in some extra hardener to the resin and everything should be fine, just to set it out in the sun whenever you put it on. he said about 2 cc more, because you can actually put too much hardener in, and the chemical reaction could start a fire! so be careful all you that intend on resining this winter!
well, shucks.Yeah I know about the whole fire hazard thing. But there's absolutely no sun here and I have no where to put it since it's raining and I don't have a shop or garage.
what kind of material is that for the AR? is it pep?I also drew details that I wish to add on the AR.
That's all for now!
Stay Frosty, 405thers.

that's cool.Yup. With popsicle stick internal structure. I plan on applying a few layers of resin and then rondo the inside. May add some craft foamies for detail on the outside.
Omggg I wish I had found this thread earlier.
Damn, this is turning out super awesome. The improvement between this build and your previous spartan build is crazy! So much improvement!!! All of the bondo and pep work is fantastic, I dont know how you do it so fast! I cant wait to see this badass Tex build completed xD! (I'm doing a Sister build currently!)
Since your sanding is awesome, I'm just wondering what you use to get things that smooth? Are you globbing a bunch of bonodo on the outside and hand sanding it, dremeling it, using an electronic sander, or some other method? And do you know what grit sand paper you are using?
thanks so much! I'm totally subscribing to this thread!
PS. What do you plan on doing for the inner thigh piece?
this is freakin awesome =D great work and looks like you made everything very fast and very well =D great job and keep up the good work
Thanks Annanymous!
There's definitely a difference between this suit and the last suit. And I plan on making it 1000000000000% better too!
As for sanding, a majority of it is hand sanding. I started off with a coarse grit (about 80) and then when I have it pretty smooth as it is, I use a finer grit (about 120) till it's seriously baby-butt smooth. hahahha Never thought I'd use that term in costuming but there yah go.
Just recently, I found out that my dad has been keeping a hand sander hidden away from me! So I've been using that too to get the mass sanding gone. Then I go back to it with hand sanding to get the smaller areas and of course the details I finish off with the dremel.
I've been thinking about the inner thighs and i have a number of ideas as to how I'm going to tackle that.
1. Use the EVA foam which has now become all the rage here in the forums
or 2. Use thin craft foamies and wrap and/or sew faux leather to them
It's something I'll look into during the summer. I'm currently working on losing some weight because the thighs are a little too small even now.
