Yes i did get to vaccumform and it turned out great (the molds were rushed so might take a bit of bondo work). Also PGHFETT my surface is 19.75" X 14.75" here are the pics  lookin good if you ask me  |

Well i got some black jersey gloves today (they dont look "tactical" but they look great anyway) and i weathered them(yes i weather everything). I just wiped off dusty shelves or dropped flour on them and rubbed it all in to make them discolored then i took a peice of velcro and rubbed it on the glove. And now i am wandering about the jumpsuit. HEY GUYS WHAT WOULD YOU USE FOR THE BLACK PART OF THE UNDERSUIT!!!  HEY CAPTIAN what did you use for your undersuit? Did you sew your own? What would you guys suggest that already exists.Do they sell ribbed fabrics? |

Well I got some armor parts cut out today and I sewed my self my own custom neck seal and I got another order done. I wish I could post some pics but right now my mother is gone and she has the nice camera. I also (since last time I posted) got all of my kama completely done belt, pouches, buckles... everything. Almost forgot I got my soulder pauldrons done too. And I am starting on Casting my own helmet in fiberglass.
I am making my base helmet out of plastic and bondo. The only problem is I dont now what you do after you make the helmet. I dont now what materials to buy or how to cast so any help would be greatly appreciated here.
