OKIE DOKE i have begun resin coating the parts i could salvage from after the move, the only part that didn't make it even after i tried to salvage the warping was the chest piece. i am also yet to build the resized pauldrons/ helmet so i will get those knocked over as soon as i get around...

woah sorry for the inactivity folks my main rig copped a thick one and hit the skids, also got a job so I've been hells busy and didn't do any more of the build. moved house too so that took a hit as some parts became damaged, will try to get some parts resin coated by the end of the week...

felt eh?, i have ordered some weaved glass to test it directly against the cornflour and such so i will get some felt to try that too (i am testing that newspaper/old shirt method sometime this morning) appreciate the input Turtlespoon :)

here are the thighs and shins.

OK for my first full costume i have decided to make the t-51b power armor as seen in fallout 3. I haven't chosen a color scheme yet (the color in the fallout 4 trailer?) but it might be heading towards anchorage with some faded enclave and us army insignia in various spots with some personal...

yo! my name is Seeker9817, i have been a lurker around these parts and other various sites for a few years now, always coming back to view more amazing builds i guess. i got into props and crafty stuff from an early age and usually make anything i can with scrap and recycled materials...
