Thanks, jordan I'm using Eva for my soft armor parts like you. - You've became the Michael Jordan of Foam! 23. I wanna be like Mike.

that gorget is gorgeous The foam just looks great. Is that the same material they make yoga mats out of?

Yup, This ones for automotive purposes though 49x38. I found it at Big Lot's. Keep Building!....

that's great to know..had thought about playing around with that material but always seemed to find it in pastel colors

what a smart boy

Looks great Delray! Great ingenuity!

These Iron Man builds are amazing. I have a question about the final assembly though. It looks like the cardboard (or whatever material is used) is folder and then fiberglass or resin or something is applied over the cardboard. If this is correct, why is this approach used rather than trying to make a silicone mold of the folded piece and then running resin or fiberglass in the mold?

Thanks, and great job to everyone putting together one of these suits!

Wow, that suit looks amazing.... fantastic job!

That's. A very expensive approach when someone wants to make 1 suit for themselves.

Thanks, Everyone you guy's are the fuel that keeps me going. I look forward to hearing from all members who follow this thread when I input my ideas from that to reality. Keep Building!....

I continue to be amazed at the various IM builds here. Such a level of creativity and camaraderie among everyone. Fantastic work Blackdynamo. Makes me wish I had the time to start just working on the pep helmet files I've printed out.

I appreciate the compliment. I'm still a Newbie myself, and I used to feel the same way when I first joined. Oh and welcome to RPF.

Next week is looking good though, I should get a lot done. You're really flying though man.

Its on to the Boots tomorrow. Ive been thinking of ways to modify them so they feel better. they rub a little across the knee area. I may cut them so the are artictulated from the top down. We'll See!. Keep Building!....
