First off, thanks for all the great information guys, its been great reading and seeing what talent there really is in this world!
I wanted to delay a post until i had a good majority of pieces pep'd, however i have run into a snag and would just like some reassurance, please.
I started working on the pieces in early may, however work, vacation, and other hobbies left me busy until this past friday when i started working on the forearms. My friends have been wanting me to attend a con for a couple years, but i didnt want to go without some participation. I decided going as a Spartan would make things interesting. Hopefully i can stay motivated long enough to finish it for Youmacon at the end of October.
First, my two finished HD hand plates. Overall, i'm pleased with the results. There is one area of detail that will get grinded and reworked when i glass the plates. If you look at the recessed portion of the top left plate, you'll see where its slightly creased upwards.
Second, My rightside forearm. They are the MD that FS made. I started to cut out the HD pieces but after cutting some of them i felt it was out of my skill level at the moment. I've got it pictured next to my left arm so i can compare length of my arm to the pep'd piece. This is what i need reassurance on. Is it too short, a little short but not enough that others will pick it out easily, or am i just imagining it. I've looked at alot of reference pictures but i just cant decide for myself.
Thanks for looking! All comments welcome! Now that I've posted i guess i've got to keep up on the progress haha.
