How I put together my fiberglass knees
As some of you know, I have been trying for the last month to get my fiberglass knees done. Well, I have started them. You will see that the sides all have tabs on them. That way you can glue them on to the main section of the knee. So, here goes!!
Pictures of them untrimmed:

Next I started to make when I needed to trim them. I used 1/4 inch pinstripping to help in marking where to cut.

They are all trimmed now. I just to put them together.

Hey man, what clay/molding material did you use? Those look great!

The blue/green material is the rubber that you cast the items in.

Re: How put together my fiberglass knees
What paint would you reccomend for trash can made armor for jango style? I've heard of rub n buff but is thier anything else i would need to make it look pretty real?
Re: How put together my fiberglass knees
everything looks great. but is it me or is the side with the darts upside down? nevermind the last picture has them upside down but i see that they are indeed left and right and will go the right side up. very nice indeed asok. do they come in different sizes. i have noticed that some knees are a little narrow and for us big knee people they may be snug.

Andre, I would sand my parts then rub 'n buff them. Search for Rub n buff and you will find what you are looking for.
Those where the first one's that I made. Yes they are upside down. I need to go back and fix the mold but I have not had time. Being sick for a month not helped me get them done. :/
Re: How put together my fiberglass knees
Bill, are you making any slightly wider knees at all for those with larger knees? If so, I'd be extremely interested.I had a pair of fiberglass Jango knees from JD, but they were about a 1/2 inch too narrow. **** my replacement joints!
Re: How put together my fiberglass knees
Soon as I get time to put them together the right way, I will measure it.
