Dude this is gonna turn out awesome, can't wait to see it! How long do you estimate this will take you?
haha thanks alot Kiwi well progress is a lil slow atm due to my original unrealistic timeframe, but if i keep a steady pace and do at least 2hours a day, hopefully under 6 monthsDude this is gonna turn out awesome, can't wait to see it! How long do you estimate this will take you?
i appologise for leaving those clips there Carpathia. i was using them to keep the armor sheets together and forgot to move them for the pic. it wont happen again! i'm not one to cause a stir on forumsTabris, check post #16. Please remember to keep the language clean.
so i have a crazy idea that i have no experience in but am guna give a shot anyway
last night i roughly learnt how to use Corel Draw (X4), and what i plan on doing, is making a somewhat sliced Spartan IV knife. then with a guy that does laser cutting, getting him to print the slices on some thin perspex or the like; then layer them up and whack on a covering of body filler. i feel this might be an easier method then pepping such a small fiddly piece and having to resin/fibreglass it. if it turns out ok, might even get a mate to do some moulds
but i ask, what advice can you give for something like this ladies and gents? is there a certain way to go about the layering and cutting? or things to avoid with assembly?
Cheers, jimmay!
I thought it might be a good idea to, then i started actually thinking about it ok so say im using a 6V power source, 4AAX1.5V; and using 150ohm resistiors on each of my LED's, does that also mean that i should use one on the contact of the LED on my switch? the switch in my link, is rated 3.5V. would i be correct in saying the wiring would be: one to negative switch, one to positive switch, and branching positive to positive LED? (i hope that made even a little sense). maybe i should throw this up in HELP FOR ELECTRONICS and get someone to walk me through a diagramYour switch is momentary meaning it requires a holding contact. You can get a small contactor and wire it with a three wire set-up or I would suggest just swapping switch to a held contact switch seeing as it's such a low amount of voltage. The AI port as a glowing switch is a great idea. My helmet fan will be at back and extract air (blowing hot air out) with intake at front to (draft cold air in). Are your lights going to be independent of your fan?
ok cool thanks for the advice gota find 5mins to even start on the patterns haha now im thinking of throwing a sliced battle rifle in there alsoI would suggest that you use extremely thin foam pieces, other than that sounds great. My next suggestion/warning is that the laser engravers can be a little rough on your material, don't make any pieces too intricate. Good Luck!
ooo shiny thanks for these crimson
