Yeah yeah... I haven't yet quite worked all the kinks out so I can post here and have it appear on Facebook.
Shut up.
No pics tonight... had to futz with a report due in the middle of the week...
PLUS, I did a bit of reading and apparently all the 'experts' highly
recommend multiple layers of resin and fiberglass for each piece... if
the piece has to stand up to a significant level of Bondo, then it needs
that extra reinforcement.
This entire project it's felt like taking one step backward for every two steps forward...
Also... the metal plates for boots thing isn't working QUITE how I had envisioned it... so I'm going to be putting a bit more thought into it... I simply refuse to walk on a wooden block - it feels like cheating. =/
That said... I HAVE been doing a bit of 'creative research'/snooping online with regards to the 'gaps' in the armor... underarm, elbow, fingers, back of knees... and wouldn't you know it... I found a guy with a fair chunk of talent that apparently had been banned from the Replica Props Forum from where I - thus far - have gotten most of my information.
Go figure.
The internet is a harsh mistress...
