Iron Man Mark V Suit Updated 4/4/11 Build Complete!!

[MalmeyStudios]

Hey Guys,

I was inspired by the Mark V suit in Iron man 2, so I decided to give it a shot.
Im doing this on the CNC router into foam board and plastering it out to make a latex costume!
This process worked so well on my creature and Dark Knight suit I thought what the heck!

I know Iron man is a fiberglass suit blah blah blah!

However I found a great paint and flexable klear kote, this costume should work out!! We will see!

I have the complete suit cut and ready for plaster, I have kinda made it my own design, the segmented armor will be thick but there will be plenty of room for flex!

Please keep in mind our inspiration was the Mark V suit however our intention is not to 100% recreate it!

As for the Helmet Mallie (my girlfriend) decided to sculpt it, its darn good i think! I know its not accurate but we tried to kinda make it our own! I think it goes well with the suit!
Roughed Out

Nearly Complete

Mallie said a little smoothing out and she will be ready to Mold!

I will also be molding the masters this week and hope to have the first pull this weekend!

Thanks for looking!!

Re: Iron Man Mark V Suit

I know that you said this was a "custom sculpt" but I suggest you move the eyes down... this will help with the look. Plus it will line the openings up better with your actual eyes when the helm is worn.

The eyes were measured to fit where they are suppose to be when the helmet is worn! They look high but I assure you they are not! This helmet is alot different than whats out there! She does not want to sculpt something 100 people have already sculpted. She is very happy with it and the custom look!
Thanks for the advice, ill pass it on and I LOVE your War Machine by the way, Im following the progress of it on The League!! Keep up the great work!

Re: Iron Man Mark V Suit Updated 3/14/11 Chest Pull

Ok!!!

Here is the first chest pull! We got all the molds done this weekend. So I couldnt deal with it I had to pour the first chest! I poured it in black to keep the silvers and reds a little darker! There is no paint on this yet but there will be! Anyway I just kinda wanted to update you and show you the chest piece!

It is very thick, the armor plates are not flimsly however it is perfectly flexable bewteen the armor plates! I did not trim off the excess, too excited to get these pics up! Sorry for the pic quality!

I think this suit is gunna work!

Thanks for checking in!

Great work. It is amazing to see the different methods used to make iron man armor. ( pepakura / scratch build / clay skulpt / foam )

That is NICE!!! it will really make it look a little more fluid ... was a new version of the armor in the comics or something supposed to move with tony like liquid metal? this method would be great for this method ... so many great craftsmen and women on this site ... great work so far
