Try jfcustoms foam files #1948.

Two questions. What tape did you use, and what surface prep did you do before the red paint?

Try checking yourf line thickness in printer setup.

George, I am in Canada so I don't know if there is a product similar to what I use. I use a latex mastic known as ALEX by mono, it is available at home improvement stores. The product is paintable and sandable, clean up and smooth with water. Good luck Bro.

Why does everyone paint their orb metalic first? If you paint it black first, then you can dry brush on the metalic, so you already have the depth. After you can give it a black wash to pick out the fine surface details. Then clear coat for protection.

I saw a thread about a year ago where someone used a Captain America helmet and crafted it into an Antman Helmet. - - - Updated - - - Jedilos there is a blue beetle mask/helmet on the first page where all of the patterns are kept.

Enamel paint takes many days to off gas (all the solvents have evaporated). If you spray acrylic paint over the enamel, the acrylic lifts and does all those weird things.The only option I know of is to remove the bad paint and start painting again.

Re: EyeofSauron's Pep Files - Iron man(non-movie armors), Power Rangers, Lich King, e Cyberpaddy, You use a mace landing pad for your helm, and in 18ga? There must be a lot of padding in there. In the Kingdom of An-Tir requires a 14ga skull and 16ga sides. I am guessing by the armour you are...

Very nice sandy11, I am looking forward to seeing the pep and foam files.

Steekbaard66, You need to be looking up sites involving the Society for Creative Anachronism or SCA. A good place to try is http://www.sirclisto.co/table.html this is a very good general knowledge and links page for medieval re-enactors.

You could think about using EVA foam for your build.

Freya this has been an amazing build to watch, your omni blade is very cool. For sticking bits of Lexan together permanently one really wants to weld the plastic together. So rather than sticking things with epoxy it is better to use a compatible solvent to melt the parts together. Just be...

Nice work Wraith. What materials did you use for your build, eva, pep, sculpting?

Looking good. I am hoping to start on one of these before the summer.
