Wow, that is one amazing looking costume. Nice work.
Thank you! I'm working on painting the crown. It's taking a LONG time because it's 3D printed and super intricate
The crown as in the halo, the actual crown or both?
Both! I still need to use some bondo and filler primer on both of them and sand the ever loving shit out of them!
Somewhat unrelated but what glue did you use for your 3D printed crown? I've been having a hard time finding glue that will hold for things that take a bit of a beating. The best thing I've found so far is superglue gel but it's not perfect
This is the first 3D printed thing I am working on, and I don't have it put together yet, because I am still sanding and filling in gaps. My friend who makes his own clone trooper armor for the 501st uses an automotive adhesive (I can't remember which) and for smaller pieces he recommended this stuff:
Hopefully that helps.
Awesome, that does help! Thanks so much
