This is it !!! my first one!!! (y) :eek: (y) :cheers :eek: (y) :cheers



....but i still have to improove. ;)

As some of you know.. i bought from Fettpride the molds to build C3PO´s...

I have never done anything related to gelcoat or fiberglass.... but hey... here is my first ever fiberglass piece!!!


I think that it is too thin, but i gave two coats of gelcoat, and two layers of fiber..... :(


Ahh, and i have to cut and trim the edges... :D

But it looks fantastic to me !!!!! :love


Thanks Chris !!! (Fettpride)

Once i get all the parts, and fix some details, i will be able to start one run. :wacko

I will let you know. ;)


Alfredo

I :love

First time Alfredo ?? Wow buddy, that is clean (y) :cheers Your lamination looks just right !! And your gel coat looks flawless ! Beautiful job, especially considering that fiberglass molds are harder to work with.

Bravo (y) :cheers

Thanks guys....!!

Have a few questions...

1.-How do you get the round edges?

2.-How thick should it be for a) statue prop b) wearable suit?


Thanks

Alfredo
 
I mean the edge of the part... all around the part :wacko(gosh...how difficult it is to explain it !!) :wacko:wacko


:facepalm

Thanks for the help... maybe i will take a pic, and draw where the part is...
 
Great work. First time?! Amazing! Let us know if you will be offering 3po parts, always wanted one as a display.
 
do you plan on doing any electrical work for him? lights, stepper motors, etc?

I'm new to this and have yet to try my hand at fiberglass. How was your first time? What prior experience did you have with other materials?
 
Thanks for your interest guys !!!

i havent got the other molds, but they are on its way...

Once i get them, i am planning in doing a run, and sell them.

I will built also some lights for the eyes, and maybe some sound cards...

Thanks

Alfredo
 
Let us know some prices if you have done the other parts! Maybe a C3PO isn´t too expensive ... but who knows! *LOL*

I´ll keep an eye on this Alfredo! Great job with your first piece!

Keep going brother!
 
So do you only have the one mould then bruv? 'chest'? I thought you'd be ploughing thro what you had... :lol:
Can't wait for the next instalment.
