Hello guys. I've been lurking for a while, and this is my first real post containing my work.
For the past 16 months I've been working on a SteamPunk version of the War Machine armor, mostly in my spare time after work and on the weekends. Aside from the cod piece and the base of the helmet, which were pepakura for foam files, the costume was custom designed and fabricated. I used the EVA foam for the majority of the build, with thinner foam for details. This is also my first time working with the EVA foam. Learned a lot. Need to learn a lot more.
I did a full build thread on the Brass Goggles website. You can find it here. SpaceClown's 2nd Costume Build - Will Be Pic Heavy I'm not going to port the whole thing over to the RPF. I figure if folks are interested they can look over at BG for the whole story.
I'm about 6'4" or 6'5" in the suit. I'm 5'10" out of it. Risers in the boots added the extra height. The fingers on the hands are articulated, and I can flex and open them using controls inside the arms. There are two cooling fans built into the costume, one on the back of the helmet and one on the back of the chest piece. The backpack is removable, as are all of the weapon systems.
I hope you guys like it. These pictures of the completed costume were taken at Mobicon this past weekend.
If anyone would like to see close ups of anything in particular, or if there are any questions, I'd be happy to post and answer.
Thanks for looking.
