I already had some discussion with TM. Maybe he has some new info. Are bluray caps out there? there are some nice pics of the seal in the raid scene. J, I didnt quite your last post, esp the chin and poking part.

I'm trying to answer your question. I don't think it was a neck seal from a dry wet suit. Something similar, inspired from it. Neck seals a VERY tight, those in the pics look rather loose. 1) It could be be seam line, but also a reflection. Not sure about that. If it is a seam line, it will make my life a lot easier. What to common opinion about it? 2) I think those differences is because the ribs are crunched (becaue they flexible) 3) there are def, different sizes 4) all neck seals were "slashed" to better contour the body, shoulder. Any, Jack, many thanks for your input! This might help mget my lazy an impolite person off the chair. Unfortunately, my flat is about to get renovated. Getting a new kitchen, bathroom and balcony. My workshop (kitchen) already emptied, I only have a small place left to cast hand guards. It might take 2-3 weeks until I can finish the prototype. In the meantime, let's do some research again. Any help is aprreciated! Karin

Always give a light sanding before painting anything

You can use the same grey paint as on the helmet.

It's ALIVE!

Hi Kevin, the paint I used is silicone based, no worries there. Yeah, sure the more ideas the better! I'm surprised this topic hasn't come up earlier.

I think Matt and Vern have some good points. Rinse them with some soapy water, roll up the sleeves so that they stand, and afterwards use some talcum or baby powder. Anything else will ruin the rubber and it will break soon.

You guys are just awesome!

I used flexible Latex paint you usually paint fabric with.

Perfectly normal The AP is a little more symmetrical. ATA, CAP-W and TE2 are like that, sharing the same source.

LOL!

I'd say yes.

Actually, they are 15mm.

Troopermaster is also a good source, as is trooperbay. Both are real gentlemen and are a pleasure to deal with

Do not use any mesh. The originals did not have it either. For padding, cut out the clover out of foam.

This thread is just awesome!! Truely the best templates ever! Thank you everybody for all the work!

I vote for that, too. But you have to wait a litten longer then :-)

Happy b-day!

Awesome, thanks for all your work! Could you make the 40mm template in the format A4, which is mostly common in Europe?

Beleive it or not, I'd like to have a Don Post in my collection. Just for the history of it.. As for the chrome lense, try motor cycle visors

This not dead. I've been working on it.. slowly. I found there are 3 adjectives when you want to build a prop: 1) fast 2) cheap 3) accurate You can't have all 3 at once, just 2 Example: +) Fast and cheap won't be accurate +) Fast and accurate won't be cheap +) Accurate and cheap won't be fast Get the picture? I've been slowly working on the ribs for the past 6 weeks (among other things) Sure, I could have bought several yards of some kind of tubing etc, but I would have been quite pricy. Besides, I couldn't find anything which was accurate for me. So I made my own out of aluminium, bondo and resin. Stay tuned! And please, share any more info/pics/comments you have! Karin

The hand guard in the second pic still looks like the TE version.

Looking good! Why are you looking so sad! Cheer up! Oh, and get a more accurate under armor. Red isn't very screen accurate!
