Well I actually started building in July. But i thought I would share my progress here (Good a place as any) since this is where I found the files and tons of how to. I have been taking pictures along the way but am not sure how to put them up yet.

Progress so far.

Helmet built not happy with paint.
Neck is built still need to paint.
Arms are almost complete except for the articulation part on left arm.
Abs and cod are done.
Chest and back are built still making size adjustments before paint.
Legs are built still need articulation in the back of the knees then paint
spine, boots and gloves still need to start.

strapping is a bit of a challenge but coming along.

This project has been a ton of fun for those of you just starting like me luck and keep up the good work.

Pictures to come soon.

Ok got some progress pictures keep in mind I started this in July.

These are the articulation pieces I made for the arms. Just 2mm plastic and some paper binders. Colored with a red marker.

Added a neck finally to the frame to allow me to put the helmet on.

This is where I am currently at. I am coating the chest and back this morning (since it is about 1:00 A.M ) Hopefully to paint this morning.

Major shout out to Stealth and Xrobots without whom I would never have gotten this far.I would also like to thank JFcustom great shortcuts and inspiring costumes.
Thank you Guys very much.

Well got the chest coated finally. Is 3 coats overkill?
Im still getting allot of brush strokes for some reason. The first layers seem to soften and make a single layer?

Finally got a little done.
I painted the chest and decided I don't like the color it's just to bright (Rustoleum Sunrise Red) so i started repainting with Regal red a bit darker not sure if I like it either.
So here is some pics of the progress so far.
Inserts for ribs

Did some elbow pieces to take up exposed elbow.

a few extra pieces.

You cant really see it but the shoulders are Regal red the rest is still the old color, The missing pieces are in the garage drying.

I uploaded larger pics the site resized them really small not sure why?
Figured out why and fixed.

How tall are you, and which Chest model/file is that? I think I need to redo mine.

I am 6'3" and I used the file mods from Stealth DOWNLOAD - IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura Foam Template Files - YouTube look in the description for links to the files. I made mine a bit to big I think but I needed the space.
