Looking awesome man. Im getting ready to start a build. What mk did u do?

I decided to go for the MK4 as i think it looks great and has the best pep files out there! Good luck and remember.......
Start from the middle of each piece you're working on!

Nice job on the helmet!
Nice job on the arms.
I think your chest piece has some serious warp to it! You should look into it!
Your hands and gloves should be zabana instead of ROBOs .. check it out!
The red could be dark cherry red, do a search on here for cherry, you'll see what I mean.

Yeah you are right on the chest, i think its the way the shoulders sit on mine. They need sorting really. Still early days. I have downloaded zabanas glove files but im looking into 3D printing them.
Thanks for the advice on the colour, i'll look into it.
Cheers,
Giva.

i really like your suit am i right in assuming you didnt bondo most of your pieces you seem to just be fibre glassing and priming them if you are it looks amazing. can I ask have you tried just straight up sanding the fibre glassed pieces to get rid of some of the sharp edges ?

Hi, i used resin on the outside of my suit parts and fibre glass cloth on the inside of the arms now but fibre glass tissue and mat inside the chest and back for extra strengh.
Putting resin on the outside of your parts will help fill the sharp edges and enable sanding.
Takes time tho.

i know but i hate using bondo by the time you do all the layers and sanding you may as wel have just sanded down the resin lol and thank you
