At first I thought you were going to say a cookie to whoever could tell what math book you have, lol. Which looks to me like a Saxon Algebra 1/2. As for the car, I have no idea.
On topic, can't wait to see how your mold turns out.

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

and how would this tacky glue cost and can i get it at wal mart/ I use school glue because it cost nothing only 37 cents and its pretty easy to use for me and i can pick it up any where

The only problem I would see with school glue is it coming apart when you go to glass. Now if tacky glue holds well and and isn't destroyed by glassing then I think we would have a winner. Now my only reason for voting for hot glue is either I like the pain of burnt fingers or that there is a benifit of speed, since it dires very quickly.

I plan on doing any glassing with AR. Even though I have worked with regular resin in the past I have worked with regular resin the past! It is like an evil dragon waiting to bite you in the butt. Also I am going to see if I can't use a spray gun on the AR for the first gloss coats. This way I can get even coverage and do 4 to 6 very light coats. This will keep it from saturating the paper while building up a nice even coat.

ok how about a fiat. It is a WAG but trying for the cookies.

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Heres just a small update
Almost done

Tell me what you think

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Hey guys heres an update
I got one side almost done and now to the other side
There is alot of pictures,srry

Hope everyone likes it

 

[Seno Ypsamee]

Since everyone is talking about glues, keep in mind that all glues have their strong points and weak points.

Elmer's doesn't hold as well, but it's a lot easier to work with and doesn't dry as fast.

Hot glue is intermediate when it comes to work time, but it holds really well. The downside being the strings and burns that comes with it.

Super glue holds the strongest probably, but the work time is about five seconds and if you mess up, there is no fixing. Also, if you get that glue on your fingers and touch another body part, then you are in for some trouble and hospital visits depending on the area. Ever see American Pie 2?

The pepakura itself is looking nice, can't wait to see more!

 

[Bigalt424]

Wow, you've been making a lot of progress. I hope your ODST turns out well.

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Hey guys umm my rouge inst going to be started till the summer time so instead im going to start a Recon helmet when im done with the ODST because i want RECONZ, but really it looks pretty simple just 9 pages and thers not to many small pieces.Well heres some more pictures and what not of my ODST ill post my Video up of me talking about the size difference of my ODST and my Jango Deluxe Enjoy

Well tell me what you think

 

[HaloFreakX]

Nice.

How do you plan to do the torso.. I plan to cut it in half from the back and make it a hinge piece at the top.

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Yeah ill probaly cut it in half and put a hinge
Heres an update of my Recon i just started abit ago

More updates on both in abit
enjoy

 

[FalseKnightmare]

school glue works fine. i think that the clamps are a little overkill though. i think that when you put a thin enough layer, it gets tacky. if you hold it long enough, it will hold its shape. anyways, nice job, it looks good.

by the way, what did you use for your mold? and for the shell? i saw a tutorial and the person used fiberglass as their hard shell. has anyone tried this?

 

[TH3 FETT MAN]

Hey Guys got my ODST FINISHED im Happy and have a supprise helmet half way done
Hope you like, PICTURE may be BAD, sorry camera sucks if they are bad quality, plus theres alot of pictures

Some pictures a little early

This took me 2 weeks to finish
This took me roughly 2 Hours to do this much

Tell me what you think.
Thanks,
Quinn or Th3 FETT MAN

[Bigalt424]

Wow, the helmet turned out great so far! Lol, I hear you about the 2 week and the 2 hour thing. Cutting and folding my helmet took me almost a month (I didn't work too hard), but it only took a day to put together.

 

[Laserath]
