I have worked with servos but the truth I havent even thought bout it cuz I'm putting all effort in building it first and showing what I can do with foam. Mayb, mayb not we'll see when its completed.

Well when I saw Xrobots tut it gave me the idea to to coat it pva first and couldnt find none locally so i substituted it with modpodge and took a chance coating it with rondo and it worked. It is not smooth on 65 d. I never tried that stuff but I give credit to him for helpin me come up with my idea and rondo is bondo and fiberglass resin mixed to more liquid form. I try not to use just plain bondo cuz it might crack i just coat it enough to sand smooth hope that helps

I use rondo and fiberglass for my captain america mask if you want really thin and really strong go with fiberglass resin and fiberweave cloth.

I see yours is from a mold. My process is for foam building and when coated with rondo its still strong but has some flex to it and no need for fiberglass cloth. Thats more for the paper peping but good job.

No problem, its called paper pepakura. There are many threads showing builds using a program called pepakura designer. You print out whatever template your building cut it out and fold and glue for like forever. Thats why lots of people started doing foam builds cuz time consuming and less of a pain in da arse. I dont know who started it but the first one I saw was Stealth and he has lots of tutorials on paper and foam building you should checkout. With your backround in autobody(as do I) it should help you build a really cool suit. hope that answers yr questions.

Hey, what are you using to cover up your wrist between the glove and forearm? It looks pretty good.

thanks man, I just wraped piece of foam around wrist for snug fit, put some velcro to have it removable, dremeled lines into foam, plastic dipped and painted. Pretty simple but makes it flow together better.
