Progress Update
Finally, after some 2.5 months, I get to Split the chest piece.
Added some Parachute Clips to the top inside of the Left and Right Shoulders.
I had to use LOTS of epoxy. My 1st attempt failed due to not enough epoxy.
As you can see I trimmed the clip receptacle.
I was starting to sand the area on the helm where the visor needs to be installed.
I had accidentally pressed way to hard on one area.
Now the helm has a boo-boo!
Easy fix.... More Fiberglassing!
Its the spot were the green tape is. (covering Master Chiefs boo-boo)
Pulling out some rare earth magnets from a few failed hard drives.
Found some speaker grill for the shoulder speakers. YES Im installing a PA system!
Plan "B" fans for the helm
Started Bondo'ing
Yay! Finally no respirator! (well at least for this pic)
Pic is very bright due to the sunlight... did not get a chance to change the settings.
Those are the front of the boot covers.
Next on the to do list:
- Clips and or velcro for the bottom part of the chest piece. (That's for another day)
- Try on all of the pieces (with tape) and see how it all fits together. Pics for sure!!!!
Cheers!
