[SI3RRA 117]

Nice work duke! This is turning out amazing. This can’t be the first time you’ve dabbled in leather work! It looking too damn good for a first timer!

No saran wrap holding her up.

Haha that’s news to me!! Awesome, definetly coming together!!

 

[Sean Anwalt]

So much "like".

Does it come in blue?

Does it come in blue?

Now you're just being picky.....

 

[PerniciousDuke]

First test fit was a success. 25ft of paracord laced like a corset is what holds the side pieces together.

 

[Sean Anwalt]

That looks awesome!

Sean Anwalt the other day I was carrying around the mask (which has metal snaps) in my coat pocket to show off to my customers. I was making a delivery to the maintenance department of a court house. As I approached the metal detector luckily I realized and said, hey guards I think I need to go put something back in my car... "why, what do you have" ... uuuh a mask? As I pull it out of my pocket. "Yeah, you better turn around."

 

[Sean Anwalt]

Haha that's hilarious. At least you didn't walk all the way in and they stop you. That would have been bad.

 

[Lieutenant Jaku]

when you say trun around, you mean go back? or turn around for handcuffs?
the second one would be more inconvenient but make for a better story.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

Lieutenant Jaku that's what they call creative writing... so I guess you'll never know! Mwahaha!

-message sent from Pierce County Penitentiary-

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Penitentiary, or Insane Asylum?

 

[PerniciousDuke]

Nooooooooo!

I messed up! :'(

I applied a nice thick layer of Rondo to the bow prop... without a lick of liquid catalyst or cream hardener.

What do I do?



My first thought was that I at least need it to be warmer. I know that bondo can never properly cure without the hardener, but resin can. I'm hoping the resin helps move it along.

My next plan will be to sit there with a heat gun until it's dry enough to not move from brush strokes, then apply another layer with extra hardeners.

My only other thought was to somehow mist the liquid catalyst and spritz it on top of the uncured layer.

 

[Sean Anwalt]

I think an additional layer with the appropriate hardener is going to be your best bet, man. Don't over- compensate too much with the catalyst, though; you run the risk of getting clumpy, choppy results and destroying your finish.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

With the deadline less than a week away I'm finding no time to post you guys detailed updates, but...

I did post a new tutorial on smoothing PLA 3d prints

And

I'll show you these so you know I'm still on track.

 

[PaiganBoi]

DUDE! The armour is looking amazing!!!

 

[Dirtdives2424]

PerniciousDuke.......knew this was going to be an epic build but this is like movie quality!!!!! Close up shots no less.....not the "Fill in the ranks, guy all the way in the back" shot either. You are in the wrong profession man!!
