I go to 405th.com, a halo armor community that you can get that PEP file and even more detail versions, also they have tutorials for the best way to build them.

The whole suit has so many steps, it seems logical to have another instructable just for the torso. That's the direction I went with.

Black gives a good background, if you had white then the helmet would look lighter. With the silver, I'm pretty sure that painting the whole thing silver will give it a shinyer appearance, more like metal. If you want more info, look at 405th.com, they have great touturals. :-) sorry for the spelling.

On painting step 8, why black after primer? And regarding silver, would you paint the whole helmet silver, or just the areas that you plan silver to show through?

I've never done this with real fiber glass resin(I've used super glue for smaller projects) but if the actual fiberglass is too expensive you might try some plain cotton fabric in small strips. I know that the super glue I used reacts to some types of fabric but cotton should be pretty safe for what you're doing I think.

Dude! you are not using a respirator (Step 6, picture 4)!! This will damage your lungs and possibly kill brain cells.

You acctually don't have to use a respirator when you're putting the resin on, if you're outside or in a well ventilated area you don't need one. Use one when you're sanding, the dust particles are what's dangerous

ok. I guess negative effect of this stuff is subjective. One small whiff of it even outdoors gives me a headache, so I always were a respirator. I got to preserve the few remaining brain cells I got left ;)
