That is some mighty fine work man! Keep it up! I'm digging those clean seams!

Well THAT was more difficult than it need to be! But here it is:
I also touched up that gaping part in the front as well.
Almost ready to start filling the seams. Then, assuming it turns out alright, I'm gonna shoe goo it! Yay.
I also did some meaningless detail stuff on the forearms, but I'm too lazy to take pictures of it. So instead I'm going to ask you all just to imagine burnished spectacles of mjolnir perfection. Then I'll post pictures later maybe if I feel like it.

So glad youre liking the shoe goo, it's incredible stuff!! But yes the fumes are very harsh. I wear a respirator when using the stuff for sure. It will certainly gas out your house in no time especially if you lay down a whole tube worth at one time! Haha

Thanks, guys! Just hit it with a little heat to get some curve in the front. Hope to get the seams filled later today, but might have to postpone that activity on account of chores I have to do later.

Working on the back bottom of the torso and I'm not happy with the level of detail I got... this is it, pre- any real clean up:
And this is my reference picture:
Hmmmmm. Got some work to do!
I'll start by recreating the "locking mechanisms" that are so prevalent all over the place:
Being angled like this makes it more accurate to my reference photo.
I'm also seeing that there's a plate, kind of flaky, if you will, so i'll recreate that with a foamie... There!
And then attach everything, making sure to align everything and make things flat, especially the angled portion of the lock.
Ta daaa!
More updates to come.

I use disposable gloves and smear it on. Some times you have to "massage" it into place. Then let gravity do the work, it will settle to the lowest point even into cracks and crevasses for the most part. It also helps to keep your gloved hand wiped clean with paper towels to reduce chance of a mess. You can only coat sections at a time with in an armor piece because of how it settles during curing. It also contracts as it cures to so when you put it on it may look like a lot but then it draws down once fully cured. Use a respirator! Fumes are bad

I used it like a glue gun and just passed in lines over the seams

Haha jk. Thanks for the tips, guys. I'm going to try to start shoe gooing here in the next hour or two.

Awsome man, don't get to greedy at first, small sections at a time till you get comfortable with how it works. It's magic in a tube!

I hope so. I'm going to try to make this suit indestructable and very wearer friendly so it doesn't crease or flake.

You're on the right track! Backing the seams works well.. coating the whole inside even better! Just depends how much you want to spend on it, time, fumes, and flex you want it to have. Here's how mine looks on the inside. Makes all those little pieces one big piece. Also remember it cures with a very grippy texture, go easy around areas of armor that need to slide on like handhand's through forearm pieces.
