Thanks for the link! But I don't think the "burn" will not be a problem if you wear a balaclava. Besides, I does not need to be "air tight". It is rather lose if you look at the pics. I don't think it was folded. Looks like a real ribbing, with alternatig "positiv" and "negative" ribs, almost like a sinus curve. I'll soon have to proto ready!

According to rumor, FireBladeJedi built an armor in 1 day just with his x-acto knife Take your tme, do your research. Collect all your accessories before building. E.g., you need your boots before fitting the shins. Alos, wear our under armor when sizing the parts etc.

Thanks Rob! Yes, reaally tiny...Did'nt see that on the screen caps.

I looke at many pics. But I did'nt finda return edge on the biceps. Am I correct?

Hi everybody, I don't have internet access at home at the moment, and I'm not at work either. And I already used this month data volume on my android. This means I can't check in here for some time, except once in a while at a friend's. So don't panic If it takes me some time to answer to PM etc. Last week'sorders have been shipped. Experience shows that shipments take a few days longer in summer than usual. Enjoy the sunny days! Karin

Who would have thought that? I'mc quite surprised

Most choose rubber gloves for accuracy. They're quite comfy with white cotton gloves underneath. Here'a how to to make your plastic guards smaller: link

Recasts are always smaller, due to shrinkage (silicone, resin, etc)

I think it an entire new sculpt. It is said to be a little bigger.

Look here for some history on it.

I see. Kev's helmet is self sculpted, no direct movie lineage. That's why.

Huh? ANH? Don't you mean ESB Mk II? There are some threads with pics about it. More details are on starwarshelmets.com.

Happy birthday, Tiff!

Mike, thanks for the compliments! Dan, the glue sticks just fine, no problem there! I'm really glad I found these, just by accident.

Isn't one of them used one the knee ammo bolt or am Imistaken`?

Left: standard blackrubber glove, may contain traces latex Right: Nitrile glove, without any latex Now, back to the build!

Awesome! Another mystery solved! Congrats, Paul! Do you plan selling them? If so, I'm the first in line!

I have a pair in hand. They are identical. I will take a pic later.

What a coincidence! I just found a source of black nitrile gloves. They identical in appearance of the rubber gloves I have. Let me know if you need them.

Mike, my hand guards are a tad bigger than ATA. Have you ever tried black rubber gloves before(I think they're required for SWAT)? If I understand correctly, they contain traces of latex.

Nice build so far! Clever idea for the hand guards!

thanks, Steve! Did some experiments yesterday. After about 6layers brushed on the mold it was strong enough without backing. You can speed up drying with a hair drier It will take ages for a finished seal, but it is worth it. and I have to use a new brush or every single layer. Enforcing with fabric after 2 layers gives a strong skin, but you have to be careful not to trap airbubbles. With all the edges of the ribs, this will be complicated and frustrating. In the meantime, I work on the "master" rib which will be duplicated for the first proto. Thanks for all your encouragement!

I thought about that. But 3mm look too thick

That would be awesome! I could them make a build up tutorial. I know my way aronud with styrene. I was building the masters of the hand guards out of it for almost 3 years now
