i get like that sometimes
i havent taken many before pics of this build but its using a different technique, this one is entirely made out of foam rather than fibreglass. its not going to be as durable but it will be more comfortable and easier to move around in which is ultimately a better thing in my mind
so some progress pictures so far.
the helmet is the only thing i modelled out of fibreglass, and then painted black. everything else you see in the picture is made out of foam and then painted the same colour black.
the black paint is actually a silicon based paint so that it gives some structure to the foam as well as giving the paint something to stick to
upper torso pretty much complete along with neck and helmet
i have also completed the hands, along with moveable finger joints and light up palms
you will see in the first pic there is a small button sticking out just to the side of the index finger
the whole thing is again made out of foam which makes the joints able to move rather than having to make indivudal joints with fibre glass this was one of the reasons i chose the foam as everything was a lot easier than fibreglass and there were quite a lot more advantages to useing it
and in this picture you can see that by holding my thumb in it presses he button and that then brings the light on in the palm, just a simple circuit with a bright LED, nothing special but looks good.
