do the chest 1st

In my experience it is best to start with something simple and work your way up to the more complicated pieces. Nothing sucks more than starting somthing complicated and having to re-do it later because you didn't know what you were doing at first.

how hard would it be to do the backpiece out of oil clay

 

[Sean Bradley]

I wouldn't recomend it. You'd probably have to build it up over a cast of your body/make molds/cast them....big $$$

Besides, thats a lot of oil clay to do a part that big.

Pattern it out in cardboard then fiberglass it, or fabricate it in plastinc.

thats what im trying to do and im going with its the easiest and it prolly doesnt cost as much

 

[WanderingRon1n]

i started with the waist armor. cuz i think it will be easy. i think the forearms will be realy hard.

Id say start thighs, really plain and simple then take Ronins advise and move to the belt next.

well you coudl even start belt then thighs then shins. all arnt too complicated and you could do them all faster then the upper halve.

i have a fiberglass bodycast if that will make things simpilar for making the backpiece and the rest of the suit

 

[WanderingRon1n]

that will prolly cut production time and difficulty in half.

 

[link4044]

yes it will

 

[WanderingRon1n]

id make a body cast of myself but i dont have the time.

 

[link4044]

plus you'll need more people that you trusth

 

[WanderingRon1n]

i cant trust any of my friends to help me then would do things to me and i would have to kill them

 

[link4044]

thats if you get out of the mould of plaster 1st

 

[WanderingRon1n]

exactly i could trust maybe 1. maybe. but thats cuz he begs me to let him help me make it.

 

[link4044]

kool i have to train my people how to cast me
