Vacum-forming vs fiberglass
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 1:36 pm
hey all, before i get knee deep in my animated trooper i wanted to do a version 2 star-killer from the TFU2 so i had something to troop in besides armor on lazy day and my girl friend wants to do a Juno eclipse, i had some questions and need opinions on how to do the hard bits.
so basically it comes down to either making a mold and having it vacuum formed or making a template and working with glass and resin. i've worked with fiber glass before just not to this level. here's a pic of what i need to do, the right shoulder pauldron and back plate. as far as i know this may be a legion first so i need to be perfect and im already guessing ill have to make more then one
