Timecon's Armor Progress

[rowan]

Wow... thats some very nice work there timecon!

 

[timecon]

ok I spent 9 hours finishing this today the next one is tomorrow enjoy I tried to make it as detailed as possible, I'll be happy to answer any questions I can

and i just got my nightmare armor helmet today this is my wife wearing it
stupid fedex broke a few spots but I'll just use my fiberglass and bondo skill to fix it right up

That's looking damn sweet Timecon

So you are simply putting Fiberglass jelly as a replacement for fiberglass? How's it different?


And really good work you are doing buddy!


(Psst, 2nd vote for 1337ness )

Thanks, yeah fiberglass jelly is like bondo except it looks like green jelly instead of grey you mix it the same and I paint it on, which is easier than the liquid for me, I paint a square then put the cloth piece over it and right away paint another layer of the jelly then move to the next section.

what file did you use? or is that molded?

I used crackhead09 file unfolded by Ral Partha

thanks thats a compliment I wish I could mold them but at this time I can only afford the basic materials

 

[rachciav]

oh they looked different from the original file. i guess you added more details to them? they look custom.

yeah i had to, to make it look good

 

[rachciav]

sorry for all the questions but. did you add the details beofre or after you bonded and what did you make them out of? like just bondo or extra cardstock.

Thank you very much ixius and skullcandygirl I wish I was able to show you how it's done it would be so cool to one day have as many members as the 501st with high detailed armor

wow. what did you use to sculpt them? just sand paper and a dremel? i vote elite too.

Thanks!!!
I used block sanders, a hand sander, a dremal, and utility knife

I seriously need a electric mouse sander for those big smooth areas on armor. My hand gets tired of sanding the same spot over and over when I could just have a machine do it 10x faster and more efficient.

Does your hand sander's paper wear faster than sand paper you'd use with your hands? Or does it last longer? Alot of times I pitch sand paper because dust gets caught and wont come off the sand, and it ends up not sanding anymore, even tapping and hitting it doesnt remove the dust.

well I noticed if you dont let the bondo harden long enough it will stick to the paper so I usually wait an hour and work on another piece while that hardens I also put duck tape on the back of the sand paper before putting it on the sander it seems to work better and hold to the sander holders and last longer

 

[i hunt zombies]
