    ManitobaMando's Dr. Doom (pep and sintra build)

    Thanks! Once this is done, I can move on to another set of full fantasy armor, and maybe finally get my Classic Cylon on the go! :)

    ManitobaMando's Dr. Doom (pep and sintra build)

    Thanks folks. Right now, I am working on full leg and foot armor, using a pep file ONLY as a guide, and forming them by hand for shape out of sintra. I do plan on using the magnet fastening idea to REALLY test out the strength of the hold, so Ill keep updating as I test. In the meantime, here...

    ManitobaMando's Dr. Doom (pep and sintra build)

    I was always pretty hesitant in using pep files. For me its still a fairly new medium to work in, and as a costume builder/designer, jumping in to something I have never used before was a big step. as my primary medium is plastic or fibreglass. Still, we do not learn unless we try. This build...

    AMT/Ertl's Star Wars Snow Speeder

    Beautiful job. I had one of these years ago myself. Nice to see that a few of these kits still exist. i also remember the fibre optic Star Destroyer that came out in the late 90's. Been trying to track down another one for years.
