Lol you're supposed to fiberglass the inside not the outside silly. You loose details by glassing the outside. Still it's coming along nicely.
-
Yup just go to homedepo and ask for fiberglass matting and fiberglass resin
-
It would be best if you have it a coating of fiberglass and fiberglass resin inside to make it nice and sturdy, then put the bondo on. I made a Halo 3 Marine suit for a final in stage craft in highschool and skipped the bondo, just fiberglassed it and it stood up in full contact football.

Looks very good so far, I don't know if you know this or not, but cardstock will make it easier to build and a little stronger from the start then computer paper, also on the rpf, if you look up a guy name Fierfek he's got the entire suit modeled out almost spot on.

It's the angle of the photo I think. It is just below the top of the eyes.

Won't be a problem for aprroval.
There are a few low brow stunts in the movie.
Thanks The brow and bubble lenses were the two main things that made me like the Hero Suit's helmet more and I'm fine with flat lenses so as long as I can cut the brow down to look aggressive I'll be 100% satisfied with my Stunt. It'll be penalty fun to start putting it together, I just have to get on the waiting list now and get the last $170 I need. And I have to figure out how I'm going to set everything up so I can make every part correct for Centurion some of it seems easy and other parts seem really complicated, but I'm sure one I have the armor in hand It'll make more sense in the mean time, research time!

No problem there
Like you have no problem with the way the brow normally looks or that wont be a problem when going for approval?
-
Okay so now that leaves me with only one more question then, would I be allowed to lower the brow like the helmet I have? The brow of the Stunt is my only real problem, I just hate how soft it makes the trooper look, I like the mean agressive look of the lowered brow.

Ryan is correct, i just made my 5th post and now the option to start a thread has shown up which is kinda neat other forums I know you have to PM the mods when your post count get's up it's not automatic like this. Very cool.

So I've been lookinga round and I haven't found anything about this yet so I was wondering about it. I like the Hero Suit, not the Stunt suit, I like the way the eyes and brow look on the Hero helmet and the handplates on the Hero as apposed to the stunt, but I like the Stunt frown WAY better, is it possible to make the ATA stunt helmet look like a Hero helmet and still get approved? Of course I want to get the Hero handplates too. This is what the helmet I have right now looks like and I think it looks perfect, minus the fact that it needs to be repainted, it's a TE2 but the Brow is lowered just the way I like it so it looks nice and agressive instead of soft:
-
Very Cool Pete congratulations I'm almost ready to order the same suit in a few more weeks hopefully.
-
Thanks I've done some reading up on both, but the members who have met me face to face have all agreed I should go with ATA to appease my accuracy quirk as well as my size still, more research can't hurt I've still got a few weeks before I'll have the money to order my armor as I have to sell some more prop/costume stuff I have laying around to get there.

I noticed this too and what I think it the rule is is that you have to be a 501st member to post there

Hello so I've lurked around FISD for a few years, I'm active however on therpf as Prince NEO.
So a little about me:
As a child, the first movie I ever watched with my father was Star Wars ANH from the face edition boxset, from the moment the Tantive IV was borded and the TK's started pouring out I've wanted to have a set of TK armor all my own. so naturally when I was 16 I found the 501st, and I thought it was a wonderful idea, I was already very active in local charities and fundrasers, so the thought of the abitily to preform charity while wearing a TK suit made me estatic. I joined the BSN when I was 16 because I did not know about the Florida Garriosn Board and I knew I was also very interested in Scout Troopers, from there I found the Fl Garrison Boards because it turned out a friend on the rpf boards was a member of the squad I would be joining if and when I finished my armor. Now I'm 1 or 2 sales away from having the money to order my armor and another friend suggested I finally get my butt over here.
That's just about my story.
As for what armor I was going to order, since I'm a skinny, 5'11 almost 6' tall 125lbs guy AND I wanted to do ANH Hero armor I figured I'd go with ABS ATA armor.
