[QUOTE="indiefilmgeek, post: 2011804, member: 24199"] I can't comment on the scaling (as I've not built one for an adult size); however, many of the threads list the parts as fitting 6' frames as a default. Fiberglass layers... I didn't slush my pieces, so if you're using this method, I'll defer to anyone with that experience. For just painting fiberglass resin on the pieces, I did one coat without cloth on the outside of the pieces first and then one coat WITH cloth on the inside. I started with the official fiberglass cloth sheets, but ended up switching to t-shirt/sweatpants fabric I had from old clothes. It works just as well and is free! [B]Note: [/B][I]Definitely plan to use STEALTH's trick of using spray adhesive to tack down the cloth to the inside of your pep piece before you paint it with resin. It will save you LOTS of time and frustration as the resin tends to pull-push the cloth around as you pain it on.[/I] [/QUOTE]
