Well The last 2 months I've been working on and off, but with it fastly approaching Halloween I've been busting my but the last 3 days and thinking "If I keep this up, I should just BARELY make it."
In August I completed my MKV(B) helmet
It's a great fit, and I can't wait to fiberglass that sucker and get crackin on the rest of the steps. Just gotta do more research.
After some coaxing from friends who said I couldn't do it, I began working on my other pieces...so far I have the right forearm completed
It's a little loose of a fit, but I think once I've got a good size underarmor, and a little padding on the forearm inside, it'll fit just fine.
I did have a little trouble though, this is my second attempt at the forearm, the first one was far to large. But the area where the armor indents a lot was VERY difficult to pep and glue....dunno why.
Lastely for tonight, I started working on the chest piece (trying to keep things fresh, don't wanna do the next forearm just yet!)
In roughly 2 hours time I think I made AWESOME progress on Iganderson's Spartan III torso as it seems to be the best pep file out there for the style.
I do have some delima's though. Mostly doing with my size, I'm a very stocky guy, okay, I'm obese, over 270 pounds sadly, so I'm a little worried over the thigh and cod pieces, any suggestions on how I want too approach that? Not like I'm gonna drop 50 pounds in 4 and a half weeks. .....hm.....10 pounds a week healthy to do?
Anywho, comments would be great, suggestions, critics, whatever you guys wanna say that could help my moral on getting this thing done!
