    Jun 20, 2012 - My HD War Machine suit (PIC-HEAVY) I'm back, new design too #1

    I would like to add a big shout out to my new friend Mal A.K.A. Wonderswuid for the mini gun and side arms...top quality product.

    Also Zabana for the sweet gloves, which you can use for IM or WM...



    ================================================== =======So here I go, my very first project, since I lost my job and I have free time in between interviews and applying for jobs (which is a pain) I started to work on my suit, thank goodness I bough most of the stuff while still employed, I can work until the bondo stage, hopefully I will have a new job then.

    the files I used care a team effort by the following people, thanks guys:
    Carnage
    Dubean33
    Stagefivedrift
    Halopepakura
    Spektrum917
    Ironmansuitmk6
    Zabana

    You can find the here:
    http://www.therpf.com/f24/war-machin...eam-up-113492/

    I have been playing around with the new pepakura designer 3 software and love the following options:

    -join/disjoin:
    Sometimes you can join some parts together, but be careful not to overlap them, that can save you a lot if cutting and make some of the parts easier to fold.
    -flap editor:
    Switching the flaps from one part to another makes them easier to glue or fold.

    Another thing that I found was that using a .8mm pen (no ink in it) is the best tool to scoring the lines on the parts, you can still see that lines and don't have to use any color to differentiate the lines.

    I will be posting the scale I am using for each part, I'm 5' 11" and 175 lbs, you can use that as reference.

    So I'm using Epoxamite 100 with the 101 hardener, it came with a few pumps that are designed to pour the correct amount of part A and B, it came with 3 pumps, one for the epoxamite 100 and one for the 101 fast hardener. The third is if you are using the 102 or 103 hardener, so no need to with or mark any cups to be able to get the correct mix. So the correct mix every time.

    Also I bought a bunch of cups, Popsicle sticks for sanding, fiber glass cloth, a heat gun, masks, goggles, primers etc...

    hahahaha when you have all the time in the world (lost my job)you can build faster, also I used the join/disjoin option to put together some of the pieces, so less cutting and less gluing.....

    So here is another update; first boot finished

    heel-back.jpg
    heel-side.jpg
    I left a little opening so I can pour the epoxamite in
    heel-side-2.jpg
    toes-back.jpg

    I edited the boot model again, it's just to be cut a little easier and less problems when I glue the pieces. Let's see how the end product looks like....

    So time for another update; I have the pair of boots made and I will stop gluing for a while and concentrate on doing the whole fiber glassing and bondo on the boots, that way if I screw something up at least is not a big piece. I received a surprise gift from my wife, Bondo and spot putty, so I get to practice yay!!!!
