So I've finally gotten around to working some more on my kit and figured I should post some pics and ask a couple questions. First, the good stuff.
As you can see I've chosen to go the 3D printed route with my PI kit. Since it's all 3D printed I know I've got a TON of sanding in my future, but I found hitting it with some resin cuts out the vast majority of print lines.
The helmet has been the major focus of my build so far. Hit it with the resin and a couple rounds of spot putty (as you can clearly see) but it's coming along nicely.
The permanent marker is just to help give me visual clues on what I think I need to work on.
Now for the questions. For the armor I've got, there's a gap between the chest and the ab plate on the side as it's two separate pieces. On reference photos I've found of Din in his armor, there is a slight gap between them, but not nearly as noticeable. Am I correct in assuming I'm going to need to bend the chest down closer to the ab? If so, will close count or will it need to touch?
The other question is if I should fiberglass the two pieces together. I'm afraid that even once mounted to a vest they'll rub and shift a bit and I don't want to damage them, but I was worried about mobility if they were one. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on it?
