Hello Marines,
I started the GM armor sculpt in April '09 just to see if I can do it. I started with the chest sculpt and then worked on the shins/calves and knees. The chest and back will be molded in silicone and then cast it with fiberglass with a gel coat surface. The rest of the armor will be vac-formed using .60 HIPS.
I forgot to mention that this project is in collaboration with Foxbatkllr, Banzai88 and ilmatic from CTN. We decided to make our own GM armor for our next 501st approved costume. So hopefully we can finish the project and get approved by SDCC if not, maybe by fall this year.
Everything is still in the rough stages and I am still in progress of sanding and shaping the parts but I am shooting to finish around the San Diego Comic Con time frame. IMHO, I think it's going in the right direction.
