Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

who's pep files did you use? because if thats a robo pep, then i suggest you download the supports man. you dont connect the upper parts of the back and chest because it stretches the chest unnecessarily. to connect the chest and back, you need to brace to go inbetween.

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

I think it is robos files, i didnt think about struts... well ive allready resined everything so i hope it still turns out. when i make the MARK 6 i will def do it with struts.

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

jwstroud be carefull which files you use.. what type do you want to build? I see a round shape arc reactor so you are probably after Mark 2, 3 or 4.. if you use Robo's files it's mark 4. be carefull that you don't mix them up.. cause there are differences!!

The struts really help shaping up the models your chest-back's sideview looks like something went wrong and I hope it will still fit afterwards.

the helm and neck look really good, they are ready for the next phase. keep up the work. I love looking at people making Ironman suits

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

To me it looks like the chest is mk5.
The MK4 according to the Artbook is the Suitcase version.

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

always thought the round arcreactor from Ironman2 was 4 and suitcase was 5.
mmm.. artbooks... good idea..!! /lick thanks!

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

The suits are numbered according to their appearance in the movies. IV is the new styled chest with the round arc light, seen first in IM2. MK V is the suitcase suit, seen second.. and then MK VI is the triangle arc light like everyone already knows.

Even though it may say that the suitcase suit is the MK IV in the art book, everywhere else its considered the MK V, even on an iron man poster i have currently hanging in my room.

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

Ok guys one thing ive noticed that some people overlook on the iron man armor is the areas between the main armor pieces, well i have been thinking and i belive i have found a solution. i did a quick proof of concept with the fingers and wanted to see what you all think. if this works well on the hands i will also use a simular technique around the elbow, wrist knees ect. any ways i have a reference pic as well as mine please let me know what you all think

Looks like wireloom, and it looks nice.

But can you find wire loom that has a wide enough diameter to fill the elbow joint or underarm?

Build is looking good by the way!

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

what about a vacuum cleaner or shop vac hose? just cut the size you need to cover your body, paint and boom! you're done

I totally agree with you, in fact I'm doing the same, but I made a copy of the hose in alginate, only half of it, and it is quite flexible and comfortable. if you want, Take a look at my post

best regards

Re: Iron man statue/ wearable coustume

I though of using alginate, but not very famliar with the medium but thats a good idea, i do like the vacume cleaner idea, im sure i could find a cheap use on or a junk one. Overall im glad to see a positive feedback and am gonna press forward with this. thanks guys!
