That is one of The best pepakura builds i have seen. The dedication to transforming the paper forms/ shapes into clean smoth peices. GOOD WORK! Keep it up.

TMP thanks very much,im lost for words at that comment,very humbling your suit's the dogs danglies and inspiring.


its funny how when people see the parts sat there it brings the kid out in them,a mate and his missus came round i left the room,a minute later i could hear his missus laughing, mr watson was trying to get in the codpiece to no avail.
many people tried the cod but no joy,n even slit down the side was very restictrivewouldnt even fit on a mannequin ive picked up.
so time for a bit of major surgery:
rather than pep another i decided to widen it by a 1.5" either side,and 1/2" front n rear creating a xtra 4",attach the mid section and create a shed load of filling n reshaping.
the chest /back section now needs 2" adding at either side now.
although now a few of mates can get in it,and want to!!!

and maybe me if i loose a couple of inch

but im happy with it now,and need to be,because it'll be stood in my living room and will have to look at it every day.it'll niggle me if i aint.

the abs after playing around were a awkward fit,so i made some up out of foam core art board,glassed resin filled will be moulding these due to the thickness.
n both palms finally finished.

Nice work on those mrk 4 ab/cod, looks great! i just finished the same area but on the mark 3 i also had to cut and shape to make them fit better

thanks kagn,your builds looking bloody amazing!!! youve got some patience

well a bit more done:
started on the hip pods and wasn't happy with the way they were turning out.alittle to detailed for a pep build.so out with the circle cutter/pvc board,cut a circle n 2 rings,glued them together.then cut the centre out of the pepped pod n glued the piece in.a touch of filler n primer and a pod is born with crisp detailshappy days.
next job to take a mold,first time ever molding.and again happy days
2 more pods born,i like it when a plan comes together.
i mocked the body up laid down n noticed a issue at the crotch area that needs a little resolving,but its getting there

Great workmon the build!! Any more updates?

nice updates man!

Really nice work!
I wish you were making a Mark III though. I don't like the Mark IV or VI Design

But I'm very impressed with your work!

How did you manage to link the thigh with the shin?

Oh come on........... the skill level here is getting to be off the charts guys!! Can a little guy get some help?? Wow, you are putting together one sweet suit. So, if you have a bad pull or two, give me a ring.

Really great work on this fingaz. Your attention to detail is quite impressive.

man you guys are seriously talented and patient.. all the progressive builds that i have seen here must have taking hours,weeks,months to do.well done to you all :-) this looks amazing!!

the thigh isnt linked to the shin at the moment,just sat on the pivot point allowing it to move back n forwards.im gonna epoxy a small flat bar in the thigh connecting it to the pivot with a bush n bolt.few pics below hope this helps

correction done to right calf.extra couple of inches added to chest piece.
pair of handplates finished off,another job ready for molding.
all foot plates completed.

Love what your doing with the suit mate, its wicked to say the least. What i was thinking is that the whole scaling issue can be solved by increasing the insole thickness of the IM boot. Thats what I plan to do with my build. I want to look the part and being 5'10 also I dont want to scale the size down as i want to look bigger in the suit. So i was thinking that is a route you could explore to get some extra height for your wearer without scaling down. Again though mate amazing build gives us first time pep builders something to aspire too.
