Black and White suit in the making progress pics.

Post by Mad Matt »

Making a black and white suit. Currently working on some prototyping in mild steel but it's going to be spring stainless.

Anyway will be posting progress pics on a regular basis here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 869&type=1

Feel free to comment.

Matt, that's terrible work. You should send it to me, and then start over. ;)

Of course, I'm kidding. Look forward to seeing the progress.

Beautiful work, Matt.

One thing I've really enjoyed over the years is watching you get better and better.

You, dude, rock. Keep it up!

Actually this is terrible. It's a slappy learning project. The real one will be much nicer. well so will this one when it's finished.

Everything seems to be pointing towards paint for the black. The areas will be left unpolished and roughly planished and then painted black. Unless something else comes up as an alternative for paint.

The white parts are sanded and polished.
