Like ASOK said - he provided the cod piece, and knees - all of which made my job easier. His knees went together flawlessly and the cod piece was really nice.
The Armor plates I got from a guy ion E-Bay for like $35 -- including the back pieces - really excellent job -- some sanding and minor cutting to even the edges out - and "BOOM" after four different coats of paint colors and masking --- which will drive a person insane -- they were done.
The Jet pack and gauntlets will be made from scratch - provided I got the info from TDH Wizard of Flight and Lisa Fett templates -- (anyone else I forgot to mention I apologise)
The one member using cardboard -- caught my attention - SO I'm going that route next week with some serious fiberglass coating inside and out to make them solid with nice edging. I believe (theory) that using alcohol on the cardboard to wet it - then form it will be better - since it will evaporate quickly. Once that is done -- using light coats of contact cement will hardened the pieces - then I can start applying the fiberglass gel.
That's the plan -- please give me a shout if you have already done this and it did or did not work. I read the post where the member is using a white paste/masking on his cardboard shells to hardened them. I was thinking maybe liquid Viagra -- but I was afraid I might get it on my fingers and permanently disfigure myself!
Again 0 thanks for all the comments -- you guys that did this before me gave me alot to think about and plan for.
