Hello ppls of therpf,
One lonly night of youtube searching I came across some dude with a cool beenie(I think u all know who this dude is:lol) , saying something about folding paper and making awesome suits, :O so I started to whatch his vids in the "heroes tuts" channel..
well what could I say but, I WANT ONE.
SO I started lookign around on the web and thanks to stealths vid I found this forum. so I downloaded the peps, got some supplies and got to it.
As the impatient person I am I just downloaded first pep file I could find of the helmet -.- with later turned out to be a HD version, hence so damn hard to put together. totally bummed out on how warped it came out I thought I would try a foam helm .. first off all I live in spain so I dont really know what all things are called in spanish
I read somewhere that the "foam" ppl used was the thing u put under parket floors and stuff, so I went to a big store (kinda wallmart Ithink) and lucky me I found it.
Making a helmet ....making another helmet I nothiced it wasent anything like the foam u guys use.. cuz it was fragile and would SNAP when bent to much..
I finally found out it was called EVA foam and asked around it the hobby stores around here and yeeeeeah I finally found it. 12€ for a slab of 100*70 cm, 6mm thick. Dunno if thats pricey or not but its all I found
Well during all this time off course I had been on the forums pestering ppls about questions and what not, so I finally decided to do the helm in pep, resin bondo ect, and the rest of the suit in foam. So I could get some exp with both.
Its now some what 2 weeks or close after I just started I think, and the suit is almost done (glueing and putting together) only 1 shin and the shoes left.. ahh and gloves.
and the helmet (thanks to indiefilmgeek for sending me thefile he used, I think it is robo´s file) is pepped, resined outside, and more or less fibre glassed inside I also started "bondoing" the outside, and I totally understand why ppl hate sanding the bono ::cry
Well I just wanted to THANK stealth, projectearth, blackdynamo1, indiefilmgeek, j0wE, robo, and every1 else for being a great source of inspiration and the help u give to us newcomers.
Well enough of the wall of text, foto time now:cool
