Started with the jetpack.....got some nice 3D (FDM, ABS) parts...feels a bit like cheating, but i'm okay with it
thanks @RafalFett these parts are just awesome!
As you can see i steamed some parts with acetone. It really smooths out the "stairs" and i have less to sand.
Thanks @TK50175, i recognized that there is no picture of the finished (weathered) helmet... i will take some pictures soon!
Anyway... i'm currently working on a new helmet...more detailed and based on Rafal's templates and 3D files. I plan to mold and cast it..for personal use, and just for the "Doing it".
To get my mind free for other stuff i tried to complete my gauntlets. Not much time these days...it is made of 3mm, 1mm PVC, putty, hot glue, Wood pipe and humbrol enamel.
I know this isn't a big thing...but i did the short research and work anyways. There is not much to find about
the weathering process for them (caused by the reason..."it isn't a big thing") and you can get it right by just looking at the Gallery...
Doing some Jetpack business.... pvc (sintra) used from 1-3 mm and some sort of foam filled pvc sandwich stuff with 1cm, very lightweight and stable.
It is really fun but more complicated than i thought.
