So the Helmet that I was working on is complete, painted, eyes are lit, and I clear coated it.
I started working on the rest of the Mark VI, I have both arms completely pepped, I pepped out my own helmet. I am working on putting the right shin together. I have the pieces for the right thigh printed out, I just need to cut them out and glue them together. I still need to scale and redo the abs, scale and redo the shoulder bells.
So last night I started to fiberglass resin the outside of the pieces that are complete. It was really cold last night. Temp was in the 50's, and I never used fiberglass resin before, I mixed up my first batch, didn't use too much hardener, and I started coating the outside of the pieces. So I fiberglass resined the chest, helmet, face plate, left bicep, both forearms, both boots, both elbows, and half of the back. I was outside for a few hours, and the helmet never completely dried and hardened. So I put the pieces in boxes to dry, and put the boxes in my storage. When cleaning up, I started getting fiberglass resin all over my hands. I washed my hands like 4 times using different types of soap. Eventually I was able to get most of it off. (Note to self continue to wear rubber gloves when cleaning up.)
