No i finished 1 complete leg. the other one i still need to do. But that takes about 5 days or so.
Carneval here starts 14th of february. The time is running out but i hope to be finishing it by then. At least averything from the waist up.
Wenn there is no time left ill just fibreglass the legs and paint them. And after carneval i'll make them perfect.

Any pics of your suit?

No means of highjacking your thread but here's my latest pic. Need to make the boots and the right biceps. The colors are just for testing. I'll keep the red but I guess I'll use the gold ur using
Why is the pic rotated?

No problem. I always love to see other mk43 builds.
Haha why make boots when you've got house-slippers like that?
Your picture is probably made with a mobile phone. I also have this problem if i dont open them in photoshop first an re-save.

First of all : impressive build !
I'm painting my mk43 too at the moment, but the paint results look nowhere near as good as yours, despite using the same motip brand. How do you get it so glossy on the red ?

TNX
The trick in making something really glossy is:
Step 1: Sand it really smooth. (p1200 P1500 sanding paper) after the first layer of primer, sand i again, prime it again, sand it again.. then paint.
Step 2: Use enough clear varnish, multiple layers. The trick is to spray it so thick dat it almost starts dripping.. but just not yet. It has to look like a tiny waterdrops.. the will automatically float together in one smoot coat..

Tnx buddy! Yes my foot fits trough. Not easily, so i think i will make so it opens en closes at the bottom using elastic bend. So wenn i walk it still has some flexabilty

Glad to see you building again - awesome work!

 

[JayCVenlo]

Back fitted to front and neck brace. Still need to paint the aluminum parts in the back.

The awesomeness of this suit if just epic! I love the smooth finish you were able to acheive with your method.

This is inspiring. It reminds me of when pep first started working it's way into IM builds and we had so many really clean fiberglass builds before foam builds started becoming the norm. Is there a reason you chose to mix helegaks and jackierockies files? I was thinking about using helegaks foam unfolds for a sintra MK42 build. Were jackierockies unfolds more simplified and easier to translate to sintra? I just bought $120 in sintra and don't want to waste any since it's so expensive. I like the way helegaks abs and cod parts fit together and It looks like you used jackierockies unfolds for those areas. Was there an issue with the helegaks or was it more an aesthetic choice? Again, this build is glorious.

Good to hear you are going to try this method also!!
Yes i combined them because some parts are cleaner in one suite an other parts were better in another file.! Most are from Jackie!
I believe only the shoulder and Upper arms are from helegak, the rest jackierockin. The best unfolds are from giatron. (no disrespect to the others)
I would say use the files that fit you purpose the most.

Looking forward to see other builds!
