Unfortunately for most of you guys, I am in Australia so no "popular" cons I'm afraid. We have Supernova & Gencon here (in Brisbane), both I'll be going to. I'm trying to get it done for Supernova Brisbane in April, then might see about Supernova Melbourne the week after. I'd like to do Perth as well.
The resin process will be done in a few stages, I have bits that I'm going to be cutting out so I can glass inside in places. The balls will be cut of & glassed, then reattached with glass also.
The main plate on the front will be a door/hatch type arrangement. This will allow access to the battery & fans. I'm considering a small waterproof box somehow, for drinks & such.
But first, I'm going to be concentrating on getting the last few pieces fully fibreglassed. I'm doing 2 layers on everything. The helmet is starting it's body-filler stage, then the thighs.
Well that's all I got for now. To all the other guys making these suits, keep up the excellent work. If I have any tips or dramas I encounter I'll be sharing them so everyone can be involved.
So far I'm not sure if the pepping is the easy part, but it was a lot more fun than glassing lol.
Helmet getting it's first coat of bog (what we Aussies call Bondo).
