BigDeal Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well, the time has come. I have my DP helmet and my SC kit sitting on the floor and it's time to get started! I'll be sanding down the rough/sharp edges of my armor with 3M SandBlaster 180 Fine Sandpaper. A few other things I picked up were: -Surebonder Rivets Remaches Aluminum 1/8'' diameter by 1/8'' grip. White Qty 100. -SAE Flat Washers #6 -1/8 by 3/4 Fender Washer - A few 1/4-20 x 1 Elevator Bolt (Picture attached) More pictures coming soon!

journeymanprotector Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good luck I'm looking forward to *hopefully* a hurried, frenzied couple of weeks of putting my own suit together before SDCC. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecyclone Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Glad to hear you guys are starting on your armor. Remember, take your time, this hobby requires patience, if you rush things it will definitely show. Good luck, if you have any questions feel free to ask, everyone here is happy to help!

journeymanprotector Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 personally, my philosophy is throw the first costume together as quick as you can, then sell it to some schmuck on eBay for enough money to do the costume right lol But, time willing, I'll be doing it right the first time with MC armor and an MLC helmet. I may rush the suit for SDCC, but will definitely address any problems afterward. Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDeal Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 To each their own Working slow and being patient is the way I will do it. I want to do this costume right the first time, so it shows I took my time and put all my effort into it. I don't have the funds to throw it together then try to sell it and hopefully make my money back - There aren't many things I've known people have been able to sell for profit, it seems costuming is one place this doesn't apply.

BigDeal Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Measured, cut, and applied all of the white loop velcro to the of all armor pieces and started working on the thermal detonator. Thanks again for all the helpful information! This is the best resources ever! Updates coming next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
