So I haven't posted in awhile because I wanted to get well into this project so I don't lose steam and let the thread go necro like my warmachine. Anyway, I still have legs and below to pep and resin but here is where I'm at s far

My wife LOVES that I stole our dining room table for this but hey... those hanging chandeliers are a perfect light source

For those of you who are still a little on the young side this is what I meant by "Sam's"

This is a Light Board underneath the piece.... I highly recommend getting one of these, makes those valley cuts a lot easier and faster

And this is were I'm at.... as you can see I have learned the hard way about propertions as they relate to the resin but everything has dried out and is good to go.

Now Oktoberfest originated in Munich and the propclaimed "Purity Brewers" are the only ones allowed to produce the beer for that years Oktoberfest in the city, usually Löwenbräu or Hofbräuhaus which are both amazing brews

When I learned that a palm sander is your best friend

All by hand then I said "hey, maybe $30 isn't that much money"

So now I will update again once I have purchased my palm sander

Hugh if your reading this....here is your baby in the flesh, so to speak. I have to say one of the more difficult and rewarding pieces. Not difficult as far as constuction but as far as time/effort needed

Yes that is Ironman 2 in the background

And a shameless promotion of a well designated purity brewer

Very cool man! Your build is looking excellent.

I agree, I'm working on the 2nd shin now. It doesn't seem so bad if I break the whole build up into three sections over three nights.

Great work, looking forward to seeing this finished.

Wow you are working very nice and fast
I got just 1 Question for you, Why dont you use the forearm model of Kirrou?
That looks way better in my eyes.

And where did you get the files of the Ab plates?

Good luck with your armor
Wanna see it finnished

Well, its funny you say that, and by all means I mean no disrespect to crackhead... his models are awesome but the forearm when on my arm was very "boxy" so for the final build I was planing and assembling Kirrou's.

The side plates of the abs were nightshade's and the center plate was Kirrou's.

I really like the stuff you've done so far. It looks very nice and is very accurate as far as comparison to the game. I'm lucky in this build as far as build time because since I plan to cast everything and most parts are ambidextrous and only require one side being built.

Now that part there is the part I'm most excited for and passonite. This part is were I plan (and hope) to set my armor apart from the rest. I don't want to say much more then that but if it looks as cool in reality as ir des in my head it will be awesome.

I also get asked why do I need to take up the dinning room table. So I asked if I could build a work shed. I still do my peping on the table.
