Making the helmet! (I don't have a 3D printer and I don't want to waste my foam on it, so I am using cardboard and masking tape with some tacky glue :p) When I finish the top I will paper mache it all and make it stronger! sorry about the quality, my computer camera sucks :(

Left bicep and plate have been successfully clearcoated and bonded together. Everything went as planned thankfully. I left the inside of the bicep unpainted mostly so that I can bond the padding directly to the plastic instead of the paint. It will create a stronger bond in the long run. Colors also look darker then they actually are due to lighting.

Both the left bicep and shoulder plate have been painted green. Still have more sanding to do on the bicep piece before final coat but it's getting there. Shoulder plate just requires, red, white, detail work and clearcoat

One more round of sanding then top coat for the left bicep. Left shoulder plate is still curing until Wednesday where it will be masked off then green, red, white, and titanium silver top coat will be applied over a period of 4 days allowing a day for each color to cure before the next layer is applied. All then followed by detail work, bonding the two pieces together, some more detail work, then clear coat.
