First set of armor: Step 1
« on: May 13, 2010, 10:47 PM »
This is my first set of armor. So I'm super excited but need a alot of help.
I know I have alot to learn so any tips would be awesome.

They arn't bent into the right shape yet. Once I make them out of the sintra I will be able to mold them better than the paper. For now this gives a good idea of how it will look size and shape wise.
I havn't made up my mind on the bottom plate but I think I am going to go with a two peice for better flexability.
The small peice at the bottom is another design idea.


Not set right but this is an idea of how they will fit


Next step will be to cut them out of sintra.

if you have the sintra on hand, great! if not, you could try your hand at fiberglassing.

I have the sintra already. But I'm afraid to cut it until I know exactly what I want.

Lol . Its was just a smaller version of another idea.

The design is slightly different now.

Updated pics are to come soon.
As for doing them in sintra, it takes a hell of a alot of time with a  heat gun and an oven.
