CYLON Build Nashslash.. FINISHED !
OK, as I'm making a new cylon I better start a build thread for myself. OK I have the kit including a fibreglass Lid and Backpack. Here's a few pictures of my progress so far. Minor repairs to the lid and backpack ready for chroming. Started to trim and cut out the kit. Lots of preparation.
Any questions you have or any advise ...fire away
Note. I'm using my other protect lid just for the shot. As I'm making a new cylon and getting it chromed I decided to get the other Lid I have chromed too, rather than painting it.
Trimmed and ready for primer so far are.
All the belt boxes (God that was Boring)
Chest piece
Ribs
Both Arm Rings

Looking GREAT! Yeah the holes should fill up, the chrome reflections will hide them some, everyone will be looking at the scanner, and at over 6 foot tall, who's going to look you in the eye much?!
Do you have a photo of you wearing the parts from the side? I was interested to see how the helmet (lid) and collar/back pack "fit" ... how close they are, etc.
Can't wait to see more.

THANKS for the side view nashslash! It is a great help.
The primer/sanding does look smooth like glass. Great work my friend.
P.S. Tell your wife to stop leaving all those little bits of plastic all over the ground in the garden I see them in the shoulder bell photo. lol

Single piece fibreglass Dale from CORA. I'm having to bond some broom handle mounts into it. The screw in type then use plastic screw in handles for the chroming process to hold the item securely.
I'm doing the gauntlets right now and have gone for solid/seamless. Although I understand the originals used tape and material as a hinge, when complete I'll be trooping in the badass.
You can see how I'm doing them in the picture. Once there set and filled I'll sand them down and fill any little blemishes along the seam. Once complete I will glue some foam into the gauntlet so as to hold it in position while on my arm.
