Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (chest,abs,neck,bicep done))
popsicle rules..!!
what a great idea..
I use what we call "key files" which are really small, and the square one is great for the line along the back of the helmet.
they looks like this:
but I like the sandingpaper on popsicle sticks since I'm using really soft grit for the details.
thanks for the tip.. love the crazy faces on the sticks <3

Seeing Laam using flat file on sanding the helmet really amazed me... its totally new to me... I've never thought of that technique and I think its really clever...
But on finer details, Mr. Popsicle is the best...
Keep building Laam...
cheers!

I'm forced to refer you to this:
The original image, larcenised from our friends over at TV Tropes, is captioned "Right: Woman dressed for combat in fiction. Left: Woman dressed for combat in real life."
Only possible conclusion: if someone is wearing body armour, you can't tell whether they're a guy or a girl, at least at first glance, from more than a few dozen paces. If they're wearing face-obscuring headgear and not speaking, make that a few paces. Especially if they're grimy or wearing war paint of some kind.
On a more practical note, particularly well-endowed women (and fat men) have been injured by fragments of rounds that bounced upward, off the, er, angled faces of armour strike plates, so it's not safe even if it was desirable for any other reason.
In short: armoured mammaries are silly. In a recent original design, we struggled to keep the girl looking like a girl without succumbing to the Chainmail Bikini gambit. Laamberry is doing it right.

I've done the same thing using toothpicks for models. They wear out fast though. Also if you go to a beauty supply store you can get foam backed boards that work good and you can cut them to the size you need. They are way cheaper than the hobby store type, which are the same thing. With those you have to be careful though because they aren't great on things you need at a perfect angle.
Looks great so far! I'm impressed.

Hahaha thank you! I mean it's really a silly argument anyway (is it even an argument?) but I have some weird dislike for boobs on armor,especially if it isn't on the original. BUT this crap is also fantasy so I understand we people do it to their own stuff. It just isn't for me :]
Awwww Maggie! That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me, thank you so much <3 <3 <3 I mean that.
Tonight I bring you thighs!!
dohohohohoooo
