Looks good from the small pictures.

Put some baby powder in the mold, just a little. It helps

Go to the top of the page and click where it says options, then under Display Modes click on Standard. It sometimes switches to the Outline setting randomly.

This is awesome! Just finished reading the whole thread and I'm impressed. If you are going to help out with shopping for a sewing machine I've had good experiences with Pfaff. My father and I do boat canvas, so sadly the two men of the house are the ones who can sew!

Looking nice there... Just curious though. Is it going to be difficult (I'm thinking it will) to mold the chest and back pieces? How are you going to do it?

 

[timecon]

ok I got my my front chest mold complete and have made a few copies thought Id share some pics, sadly I wont get the back done to were the costume to halo release and the origonal back piece made of bondo is currently preped for making a mold. the purple looking one was the first attempt and I hade to use some fiberglass jelly and some cloth on the back due to some thin areas but I learned my lesson and improved the second one and its a great thickness all around and a good grey color, that tint goes a long ways if your going to use it only a few drops is all it takes. anyways enjoy!

I agree there! I cant tell you how many pep files Ive built in the last year and all the fiberglass and bondo I wasted not to mention the thousands of hours doing this. but I cant wait to have a smooth cast set of lite armor and if anyone see's anything they like I'd be glad to make something PM me for a price I do need it to help with the rest of the armor these supply are not cheap.
