I have schedualed a mold up of my arms and legs next month.

D Durasteel Corporation Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2006 #8 Go fiberglass guys. Its truly the best combination of: strength (Im 6'7, nearly 350 lbs and can stand on my fiberglass torsos) light-weight (can easily pick up and move) hollow-ness (you can reach inside it, to attach things ....even add speakers anatomically correct (no 'guess' work, its a real body cast) I will be adding more photos in the next couple of weeks. I kinda prefer to show off the entire mannequin with arms and legs all at once. Oh, also...that chest armor is a real, full size movie cast....not a small GT armor. That should give a sense of actual size and proportion. Email if interested guys.
