![]() Then put in preferably in the sun as it will speed up the drying process. Once it's dry you can add extra layers for more strength. Then put the fiberglass mat on the inside and put more resin on the fiberglass mat till it's completely wet from the resin. You will have a limited amount of time to work with it before it hardens (about 15-20 min, depending on the amount of hardener). Stir it with a stir stick to make sure it's mixed. Mix the resin and hardener according to the prescription in a cup. Put on your disposable gloves, protective eye glasses and respirator. So you cut where edges are and where fiberglass mat meets in the middle you can tear. you can also combine these techniques with each other. The plus side of tearing it apart with your hands is that it won't leave edges. Now you can either cut the fiberglass mat with scissors or tear them apart with your hands into matching patterns. Don't touch it with your bare hands as it can leave tiny fiberglass fibers in your hand. Cover the table with aluminium foil (and you can use lubricant so the resin doesn't stick) - Put some cups, stir sticks, disposable paint brushes and a pack of disposable gloves ready at the table Prepare fiber glass mat Put some thick gloves on to work with the fiberglass mat. Put something on the floor to protect it against accidental drips. Needed: - Polyester resin (with it's hardener) - Fiber glass mat (300 gr/m2) - Aluminium foil & underground to protect floor - Disposable gloves - Thick gloves - Disposable paint brushes - Cups to mix the resin and hardener in - Stir sticks - Scissors - Respirator - Protective eye glasses Prepare workplace - Make sure the room is well ventilated (outside is best) - The temperature for my polyester resin had to be 15 degree Celsius at least. (For the shoulders you will need to cut the bottom part (dot line) and fold them over each other till they align) > WitchKingOfAngmar_TemplatesByMetalfist < < I looked up the original dimensions and made them 1:1. This is the last chance to get this right! After fiberglassing you can't adjust this anymore, so make sure it's correct at this point. I first made a paper version to make parts on my size and then checked out how they articulate (move) with each other using split pens and adjust them. So just experiment a bit and look how it fits on you. These are handmade by me and only fit my size. I made this from paper and reinforced it a bit with some cardboard parts. I used the witch king helmet template (unfolded by "movieman", model ripped by "nintendude") which you can download here:
