the mark 7 arc reactor is the same as the mark 6 ; the new core (the triangle one)

it most certainly is not

wait i am 100% sure that the arc that tony is wearing the new core arc while using the mark 7 we shouldnt be considering this pic for the arc because in this scene, he is not working so we cant see if it is or not ; also this pic is very blury sooo

there is no triangle there, you cannot doubt that. its all circles

i will not deny that he has the triangle chestpiece on while he gets out of the old damaged suit, and probably also has it under the new suit, but who says, that there is no cover for it included in the new suit.
i just watched the movie again, and due to not having a screenshot program, this is what printscreen came up with.
you can see the exact time of the shot, check it out on the bluray, you will see there is no triangle

there is no triangle but it is because he is turned off also ; the suit in the movie was done without a real suit;l its all done by computer so we cant judge if its the triangle or not because they did it by computer

i see. did you try a smaller scale yet? and have you come up with a result?

also, i made a template for the mk7 arc reactor as i couldnt find any.

so here it is


and this is how it looks lit in my chest:

cheers
EoS

a very good image of arc reactor mk7 can be found in titles to the Avengers movie

i know why you saw that its because to power all the suit he need to get his arc '' plugable'' so he uses a diffuse ring that is in his undersuit but whitout arc reactor the diffuse ring is no use
so the triangle arc powered the whole suit

What you guys are seeing is the Unibeam, not the arc reactor. Its what allows him to use the arc as a weapon. The reactor in his chest is still the same and no upgrades or new versions were shown from the end of IM2 into the Avengers. When tony is talking to Loki in the penthouse, its still the same Reactor glowing from behind his shirt

Good point, Bimmer.

100% correct. Although his chest has the triangle, the unibeam in Avengers is most certainly circular.

Joss Whedon wasn't a fan of the triangle, and that was a big part of returning to the circle shape on the armor.

DUDE! That is the best foam Mark VII I have ever seen! How'd you get to make the finish so smooth like it was a resin build?

well you need to see more of my HD pictures of it (will be uploaded here and to TheHeroTutorial's facebook page this day or tomorrow after adding water marks)

about the paint "technique". . .i don't use PVA glue here. . .i used acrylic emulsion. . .then silver paint as primer. . .then "flash" coat of red. . .then 2 flash coats of white spray paint and then my final layer of red and gold. .it worked on my build specially at the ab pieces. .it makes my build "plastic" like

EoS, I used your template to make a simple Model of it:

Should do the trick, if you add a bunch of LEDs to it...

perfect!

Oh Darkside lookie what I've done with your back file.

Iron Man Mk7 Motorized Wingflaps - YouTube

This was way old. I haven't taken a new video of it yet. I already installed fans under it and lights.

Hey EOS. Great progress on your build. I had the same bicep problem you were having. I have since moved on to the chest and back. Couldn't stomach the thought of building my 4th bicep. Did you trim the bottom or were you able to find a scale that worked? Any insight before I get back to the arms will b helpful.

Also where are you connecting Darkside's shoulder bells?

That is pretty slick. Did you find a way to get the bottom of the flaps to align with the back when closed?

i havent rebuilt the biceps. it might be a bit too small, but im on a budget here, so it will do. probably gonna rebuild it sooner than later, but for now, meh

for the shoulders i just use a connector in the middle of the shoulder to the chest/back piece

Not yet, might try it tonight. I'm still lamenting this weekend's failure to build a good looking helmet

I'm about to embark on this journey in the next couple days, and am so lost it hurts haha. I was wondering a few things. I'm 5"7 145 lbs, will the files fit my stature? Also what kind/how much card stock do you need. Also Is anyone on this from Vancouver/lower mainland? MSG me if you've made a suit. Thanks people

I'm 5"10' and 135 lbs, i used the standard scale of 23 on most of the parts except all the arm files which need scaling up on the most part. Everything is fiber glassed now and fits VERY snuggly. I'd choose 24 in hindsight.
I also used around 300 pages. I am working with a friend sharing paper who is building a war machine and we used nearly 600 pages of 180gsm paper. That's basically the thickest printable paper we could find in Staples. (US uses weight per pack or something, just Google a conversion )
Hope this helped [check my previous posts for more details on scaling and videos of the finished wearable suit if you need any more info]

You can't scale with the viewer, only with the designer.

Pepakura Designer FAQs

You can try to alter the scale via printer settings, but it's fairly hit or miss in my experience. I tried doing this by printing to PostScript files via a Generic PostScript printer driver, converting it to a PDF, and then adjusting the scale from Adobe Reader. In the end, I coughed up the $40 for the designer, because $40 was a reasonable price for my sanity.

you can scale with viewer, you just can't save
