This looks great. Isn't there a saying that goes "one mans toy army helmet is another mans shoulder bells"? Well...maybe not but this still looks great! That's why I joined this site. The creativity around here is astounding. (I love the smell of bondo in the morning)

accidentally missed this post... i plan on trying to find a black or dark gray(preferably) underarmor type shirt and the same for the leggings.. as far as resin details go. im not as skilled as others on the RPF soo research is in order.. resin or anyother media of details arent out of the question. after all the major components are made, ill prob then how detailed im gonna go after that.

Looking good!
I'd love to take credit for previously posting the "baseball helmet" shoulder bell idea as I have used them for years, as well as other people using this technique. Keep up the pics.

Thanks paul! your suit looks awesome btw.. i remember you posting on Fetts thread about using Baseball helmets for shoulder bells. thats what actually gave me the idea for the army helmets. i looked a a few different models of baseball helmets and they didnt have the smooth curve i was looking for(ie too much surface texture with the general design of the BB hemets) thus roaming around walmart in the toy section, i luckily found the army ones and they are perfect for the Mark V (and at $4 a peice too).

no prob man. like i said would have been great about 250 rivets ago :lol i think if i make another one, i might try and find a thinner plastic yet still durable material. im going to use this pic as reference when i make the legs and boots sometime this weekend.
actually with the right thickness of aluminum this actually could be made of metal and still be light enough to wear....just saying

Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V WIP with pics
ok after looking at the pic of the suit front and back at once. ive come to two conclusions. A. the mark V is awesome. B. i need to redo the whole back. to closer memic the spine section. thus putting things a lil behind. oh well good news is that looking at what i have i think i can modify it. will post pics tomorrow morning some time of how i plan to do that.

Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V WIP with pics
ok late last night i decided to address the spine section i had and try to make it a little bit more like the actual spine section. i still might cut off the points add strips of plastic behind each section of the spine. i also trimmed a few sections that looked a lil off and added two more peiced to the back wing areas. also the boomerang sections needs to be larger

HOLY ARC REACTOR! THATS BEASTLY! Seriously, thats awesome. I have to ask about comfort though. I use the Cardstock/Fiberglass Resin technique for armor building and it's not always comfortable but it looks like the rivets underneath, particularly in the arms and groin area:wacko, would make it rather uncomfortable to wear for extended periods unless you put padding there.
Just wondering, Great suit BTW! I've said that about 3 times now... sad....
