finished a pair of vac-formed knees/comparison

Got these a couple of days ago from Asok (thanks). I was using a set of fiberglass kness, (I'm sure everyone can tell who made them). The FG knees were tight around my knee and didn't allow much bending. Got a good deal on the vac-formed so I gave them a try. I used Asok's tutorial and they came out great, IMO. I think they look more size accurate, they flex nicely, and are a lot lighter.

Because of the plastic, I had to hit them a few times with filler primer and sand them down, check them and reprime/wetsand.

The pics show the comparison. The vac knees are on the left in both pictures.

Those look nice. If you want to get rid of the FG's, shoot me a PM.

Hey, I know those knees!

Nice work on the build up.

Wow those are great!

A big to the guy who made the molds!!

Thanks guys, I think they'll work out fine.

I'm not quite sure yet, but I'll keep you in mind if I do. I know JD's stuff is gettin harder to come by.

Those are great!! I'm sure they're much lighter than fiberglass and they allow more bending. Congrats on the new armour

Whats the news on this one...has JD shut shop?

The knees look great.


OT.
JD is no longer making fiberglass parts. He has officialy retired from the hobby.

Sorry for the partial off topic post.
