T toomanyclowns Active Member Jan 20, 2013 #43 Turns out it was worth it. Even with a lot more painting to do the cast helmet looks miles better than the foam one: View attachment 138344 With the suit: Last edited: Jan 20, 2013

T toomanyclowns Active Member Mar 24, 2013 #50 Anatomy of a (upper leg)Panel Using the very helpful RPF Comic Comic 2012 Reference photos as a guide: Cut out a rough template: Use hot glue to make the welds and rough spots, before PVA glue layer: When it dried it had a weird stippling effect, which I sanded a bit but left because it looked worn: Primed and sprayed with Halfords Metallic Silver: Dry brush with a mix of black and copper acrylic. Rub n buff Silver to bring out the welds and more copper to add detail: Et Voila. One panel that just needs a allen nut and some velcro on the back to stick it to the frame.

T toomanyclowns Active Member Mar 29, 2013 #52 I'm about to start on the leg drive belts:View attachment 152437 Ideally, I want to use an arduino to move the belts via motors when the legs move but also play some kind of gear sound. I have no idea how to do any of that so it's probably time to read all the electronics tutorials on this forum.
