"Dude, my gf won't even come over after she found out what you do around here." "I ain't puttin that on!" Sweet work on the armor! Will Just havin a little fun.
mrbungle Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 the dog is cocoa the wonder mutt. she was thinking ,"why are you not petting me??" i didn't name the dog my wife did. i hope to have the arm armor ready for molds this weekend except greeblies. i am waiting on urethane rubber with black dye to come in to do the left greeb and the knee armor straps.
Guest speederbike1 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Are you using Fiberglass? Wish I had the time to do something like this. Happy new Year Will
mrbungle Posted December 27, 2008 Author Posted December 27, 2008 to sculpt the armor i am using everything from clay to foam board reinforced with fiberglass. the final product will made of gelcoated fiberglass. the shin and boot armor ,i would like to vaccum form ,but do have a vaccum form machine...........yet.
mrbungle Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 thanks for the comments , i am going to get the helmet and arm armor done and molded before i really get started on the chest and back.
Acrylikhan Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Great progress there. As for the shin and boot armor... how tall are you, and what's you boot size. I'm pretty giant sized, and I have to make shins and boot covers for myself... just wondering. Are you going to build your own vacuforming table?
Heatshock Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 hey Frank - I've been helping out Tom with some of the soft bits and just talkin abt armour I know for a fact that he was hoping to use someone elses vac table rather than build from scratch - so any1 in alabama wanting to lend a hand, give him a shout out! also - as was in another thread, some one found UK desert BDU dyed works. any1 wanting some of this camo pattern, feel free to pm me as I am UK based Nate
mrbungle Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 i am pretty short 5'8" i will have build 2 sizes.. med and big. yeah i was hoping not to have to build my own vacuum table but if i have the rest of the armor finished then if i have too. i will build one. but the short folks will get there's first. short people have to stick together.
