Got busy today, deadline looms....
Continued on with fiberglassing my gauntlets. Got another layer on the first half, and initial layers on the new ones.
After cutting out Sintra on the band saw, I would make a template by taping the armor template on cardboard, tracing the shape on the plastic and then cutting it out on the band saw.
Well, I had an epiphany and just used Elmers Glue to glue the cut out template on my Sintra. I also use two pieces when cutting out the shape, at least for the shoulders and the chest. I super glue them together when cutting them out. I glue outside the cutlines then I just hold it tight when I make the last cut. I then peel the paper off and wash the Elmer's Glue off in the sink. Worked great! Way easier than tracing/cutting/sanding etc.
Got my holes cut in the chest piece for the lights.
Then got my heat sources ready to do some molding on the armor.
I'll take some more pics of the armor after my daughter goes to bed. But I got all the armor molded, damaged, and primed. Actually, the primer might not work, I ran out of the stuff I normally used on plastic. So I may have to sand and then re prime. Which is fine with me, because the Sintra has a bit of an orange peel texture to it that I don't like.
More later.
I think my girth belt is probably toast. I'll keep working on it, but it looks like Victory Canter might be getting some more money..
