Another iron man foam build, yikes!

Pic updates. I still need arc reactor, lights for the eyes and repulsors, thigh straps to keep from sliding down, gloves, & red undersuit...The suit is not the most accurate but i'm happy w/ the results.

Good question about the sealing. How did you seal it before painting? PVA? Modge Podge?

Looks great, man.

I used Rosco Flexbond before painting. Looks, feels, & smells like PVA/Elmer's white glue.

Man ... you look like you are having fun with this build ... looks great for starting out as camping mats ... keep going I want to see this go the distance ... how many actual hours do you have invested in this so far? also do you plan to take steps to remove the foam texture from the armor or are you leaving it like that?

It took me 3 months for this project, worked on it whenever i was in the mood. As for the texture i'll just leave it as it is.

That is a freaking sweet build TK!
Love the foam build and hope you had lots of fun making it.

May dabble with foam myself at a later date now as you seem to have inspired me.

Thanks, MykiiAmore!

I might build another one, mark 4/6 and next time w/ smoother foam.

Sweet, I have no idea if it is possible, since I've never worked with foam. But maybe you could bondo over it and sand it down and add details etc.

Sharin' some new pics of the completed suit. I need to add foam extension to the upper part of the ab.
