Once I bought my helmet and then my knees, cod piece, and diamond...I started there in MAY/JUNE time frame...after that -- I then bought my armor front and back -- painted the different layers for weathering....
I then moved to the jet pack in July -- all of July -- then I finished off the gauntlets --- basically 12 hours on each one... I used 1/8 inch Sintra and a heat gun... the jet pack and gauntlets were made by hand -- from templates by WOF and LisaFett. I basically worked whole days from morning to night -- I say I have a few hundred hours in this set. From sanding, painting , using Bondo, cutting, fitting, you know -- the whole business....
I think it came together really fast once everything was done --
