Re: War machine 1st attempt...
I had the same problem with the sag.. leaving such a huge pep piece around with no resin on it was almost a disaster here! I think I salvaged it, but talk about a harsh lesson...
Glad you saved it! Resin it ASAP my brother! BTW, your work is looking awesome!

Nice!!! What pep is that? can you shoe the arm? to see how it looks, that looks proportional

Re: War machine 1st attempt...
Looks awesome Don!:cool
My only concern with what you have done so far is that by not having resin on the peps to seal them, your hard work may eventually be prone to sagging and warping. I know from very near tragic personal experience... unless you live somewhere really really really dry like Arizona or Denver... It just looks so good, I would hate to hear you had to rebuild pieces.:cry
Word.
I would love to hear more about the gun pep!

Re: War machine 1st attempt...
I mean it's your build, do it in whatever order you'd like. I can definitely understand wanting to do it in "stages", IE getting it ALL built before you resin and fiberglass it. But I think doing it that way is really going to bite you in the ass if you wait to long with letting the pieces sit around. It might not look or feel like you're making as much progress when you build and resin a single piece at a time, but the final product will only benefit from it.
