Did you say Hawaii!!! LOL...Nah you already told me and also I did recieve the Torso from you!! Its actually a snug fit but it looks great!! Had some probs trying to get the "Great Stuff" off but its off...now I am trying to figure out how to attach my straps. Was wondering why the front was heavier than the back piece??
I will post pics of the Torso and if you want to know (other members), I believe his FS torso was set at 42 cm and from the measurements that FS was asking for, I am about 38 cm. But the Torso is really snug so I don't know if the pressure suit will fit? HMMM!!
Oh one more thing Thor...I was working on my Pred suit and came across something you will find amusing!! Next post with pics!

Wow, Thor, that is way more of an explanation than I ever could have asked for. And with pics?! Thanks a mil.
Really fantastic work. I've seen this same method used with toothpaste for the "scratch masking." Looking forward to your next update!

Thor may be on the boat now, so he probably wont be able to answer your question... but with a reasonable degree of certainty I can say that he used PEP to make his original, smoothed it, and molded it. That helmet you see painted is a casting from his mold, hence his use of urethane casting resin for his helmet.
If this is at all wrong may Thor punt me out of his thread, and correct me like the fool I may be.
Good luck on the rest of your trip Thor.

Spase is right about the casting method, but I think what Neo here is asking about is the reinforcing of the pep helm. And yeah, he used urethane resin instead of fiberglass resin+cloth. Quoted from post #1:neo said:
It's just personal preference. I think more people use fiberglass because it's more accessible and in most cases, cheaper.

Please familiarize yourself with the site and different methods of building before posting unnecessary questions in someone else's thread. The stickies have the answers I believe you're looking for.mystycs said:
Actually, just reading this thread would answer that question, but you should really read the stickies too.
Edit: Not trying to be a jerk here, just don't want to muddy up Thor's thread with info that can be found somewhere else.

Hey all, just a quick update while I'm in port to unload cargo.
I downloaded the hi-res forearms and made a couple of sizes:
I'm picking up some fiberglass at a local hardware store so I can reinforce them for transportation and storage until I'm back in my own shop.
I'll be doing more fairing, molding and casting at the end of the summer, but first I need to get through about two more months of views like this:
I'll be building the medium resolution thighs when next we leave the pier.
Stay tuned.

OMG DONUT IS ALIVE RVB HERE COMES THE CHAOS.thorssoli said:And finally, here's a shot of me in the first set of painted armor so far (the shoulder is just a size tester and the forearm is one of Adam's, but you get the idea):
So now it's time for me to disappear for a while. I'll post more when I get back.

Hey, another question. When you made the mold of your helmet, did you make the mold after you had painted and detailed it or just after the bondo? I'm wondering because I would like to make a mold of mine when I finish, but I don't want to damage the paint or shield work and I was just wondering if the molding material is overly destructive to the material its being applied to. Sorry if you already answered this or a similar question.

He is unable to answer since he is on a ship on the ocean.. for a couple of months.
you should just scroll a few pages back, the answer is obvious from the pics.
