Hey! I used to have that same exact death star playset when I was little! Haha that is so cool. I got rid of it at a garage sale last year though But more on topic, wow! You got that knee piece done really fast. It looks great!

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Thanks heavy i also have a slave and a bunch of other starwars toys ( im a star wars geek pics of my other knee in a bit

Edit here are some more pics of my knee in different lighting, because some of the pictures made it look like there was a bunch of silver on the knee and there isnt as much as there seems and i dont know if these picture will do it justice but well see and what ill be using as my shoitgun i was thinking of peping over parts of it to make it functional tell me what you think its just an idea for now

What i want to use for shotty

Thanks

 

[box o crayons]

ok the new pictures make it look a lot better nice job

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

thanks, i noticed some of my old pics made it look like there was alot more silver then there is and i also had to redo the front of the knee multiple times because i kept messing it up but now its good and i think my shot gun idea should work i just got $5 today for hooking up some ones dish box so now i can get some card stock and my school glue will have to do since i only have $5.25 , and ill probaly be doing most of this either this week mostly and the entire week end and until Halo 3 ODST comes out and im hoping to get either my chest all finished(im not looking forward to sanding it) and pep my shins boot tips Odst helmet ,rogue helmet rogue shins and boots, chest andf biceps by this comming up monday so i got my work cut out for me

Looking great, as you see this hobby is 80% sanding, 20% everything else lol. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Keep up the good work, I might end up swapping to tacky glue.

I'm tired of the Krazy glue cementing my fingers to the cardstock and me losing large layers of skin .

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

hey i got some of my torso done and will put it up in abit but first dose anyone know why my printer wont print lines for the peps ?? I searched it but nothing came up so i nned some help thanks :0 pics in abit

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

The thigh could have been better assembled, I see that you slacked off with the allignment of the flaps and edges. Just some constructive criticism for you, pal.

EDIT:
And I suggest scoring with a Red Pen, a Black Pen and a ruler, tends to give better and stronger folds than it's X-acto knife scored counterpart.

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Well here are some more progress pictures.

And i got some more tacky glue

tell me what you think

 

[box o crayons]

looking good and i love tacky glue its so much better than school glue cause its really sticky so you can still work as it dries just like hot glue

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

@ Box O Crayons yeah its really good and im glad i got a bigger one to so i dont run out soon, but i need to get more card stock and ink and also my printer still wont print the lines for some reason if anyone knows how to fix this just post it and i will be very help ful

[box o crayons]

looks good and as for the printing you have to go to print settings and change it to bitmap or vector which ever one is not selected

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Hey everyone havent posted here in a while ive been sick and couldnt really do anything but i got a little done and will hopfully get the rest of my helmet down tonight and sorry about pictures they looked better on the camera and the pictures are going to be like this for a while because our really good camera broke and it sucks
Heres some pictures and i made a vid of me fiberglassing.
I just got some of the visor in

I got some latex rubber and i was hoping it would work to mold my helmet if i get it detailed enough so here you go

Their 16 oz. ea and i was thinking only half of one should do most of it
I have made 3 videos, 1 for my fiberglassing, 1 for my bondoing and 1 for my letexing of my knee so i got to delete some of the fiberglassing video because youtube rejected it for being 14 minutes so it will be a little bit because this comp dosent load them fast
Enjoy

Edit:
Ok instead of vid for now heres some pictures of my knee and my latex rubber on it and i stuck a piece of plastic in it just barly on the top layer and idk if i should have it or not im just afraid it wont come off the knee but please help me out with this its my first time ever doing this.Here some pictures

Please help me with the latex i dont want to ruin this enjoy
