| Post subject: | Need to re mod my armor |
I've been out of the loop from here for way to long. I've been spending alot of time at the brotherhood of the Bat as of late. Some people remember I wore my armor to a bar 2 halloweens ago and a drunk idiot took a swing at my armor and cracked the chest in a small place and the righthand part that goes over the shoulder. Does anyone have any extra armor pieces that they have picked up from ebay or other places that they dont need. I'm not to worried about the quality or if it needs some work. I've put it off for to long. Time to suitup again. thanks Jason |

Have you just tried repairing it? Perhaps with bondo? If it was me I might even take the extra step, and buy a piece of thin Aluminum plate and attach THAT to the breastplate.  Do you have any pictures of the damage, that might help us make better recommendations. Russ

Two words: duct tape. Hey, it's screen accurate, Frost had some on his armor!

If it's styrene use red #15 acrylic glue in the crack. Then heat a small strip and mold it to the shape of the inside of the armour. Glue to inside using same glue. Epoxy if you have fiberglass vor redue it with some resin. Dave Pvt. D.Wong A12/TQ1.0.12144E2 MySpace My Costumes and Props Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards. |

The part that goes over the shoulder that the granade harness runs down is broken in half as for the chest its crack around the neck . I think I could trim out the neck and repair it but as for the other part I thin its a loss. I was hopeing maybe Spat or any of the other few makers might have some extra parts from a suit that didnt go so well out of the mold. Like I said I dont care if the detail is spot on or has plenty of flaws just thought I would check. Russ, someday I will send my GW2 pulse rifle to you to have it looked over. Did you ever cast that MKII I sold you? Jason |

I tried casting the MKII but I was running low on silicone, and mixed some leftover stuff I had... making a mess. When you cast them they look (alien) acid damaged. I may try making a new mould sometime this year, if I ever get all my OTHER projects moving. Russ
