The progress on my shin guards
Peped being resined.
After the fiberglass step, some sanding and Bondo to straight things up. I'm adding some details.
Dont like the "square holes" no problemo
Much better after some bondo and a screw cap squish in it.
More details, this time made with plasticine.
The back side to needed a "facelift".
Primed and with spot putty.
I'm starting the Boots, Peped and resined.
more on the way. :$

@ soul products : Yes and no, I bought it on eBay last year but didin't like it, it was cast in resine but the mold was not line properly, so I redone all the handle section and change the screws on each side, from big ugly phillips wood screws to the more accurate slot computer type one. Then Ive done a rubber mold on my new gun and rotocast 2 guns, 1 for each side
This is the gun bought on ebay and modified.
@ Macattack64 : Its freeman casting sheet wax, I got some various thickness at work, its not something you can find at your hardware store. But you could use wheather-striping foam tape, it work well, just be careful to put it straight.

Really really pic heavy
Thanks for the comments thorn696 and Adenn Velek.
I've worked on my boots and painted my shin guards, lets see them I hear you say ;p
First coat, hammered silver paint
Second coat, textured green paint
Third coat, painter's touch satin oregano
Then its matt lacquer black inside because it dry quickly. and rust paint outside wiped with a clean cotton rag to give that dirty and used look. + the silver paint on a brush technique for the scratches.
The boots, I put rondo inside where there are sharp corners inside all my piece before the fiberglass.
In this pic you see where the sharpie marks are, this what i need to sand down, its easy to sand its rondo remember. After that there is less bondo to put on, so the piece is lighter.
After some sanding.
Details details
In the last one if you look on the right you can see what I used to do the bumps in the front of the boots and the details on the lower part of the "pouches" of my cod piece. <--- this part is for ShadoKat on page 2 --- its ½@ plastique tubing cut in halfs, I fill those with bondo. when it harden i demold them, cut them to the lengts I need and stick them on the boots with a bit of bondo.
Sanded and primed
Same 3 layers process as all my pieces.

Update to big ad to cut it in half
Spartan approved paint job.
Almost finish
Gluing my secret parts to add a more realistic look
On the shin guards too
Boots finished, shoes in its place, the plungers fits well after a lot of tweaking.
I glued a 1/8" rubber under it so I don't scracth any floor with the screws and it will be less slippery.
I'll go work the chest now :eek

which pep file did you use for your chestpiece? I like the look of it quite a bit

Thanks for all the great comments
@ CaptainAnt : the pep file I used is name orig_torso_Letter, but I think its not in the pep index anymore.
Here is a screen cap of it, if you don't find it, let my know I'll send it to you.
But keep in mind I did a lot of modification on my chest piece. The pep file don't give you all the details, just a base to work on.
Look at the original pep piece and the almost finish higher in this page.
