My Iron Man Mark IV Build

Hi everyone, been an avid fan of ironman and im thankful i had given the chance to make my own ironman armor thanks to the persons responsible for it. you know who you are! And im proud to post my work as of this moment!

here's my first attempt. i started to test paint an ironman helmet in its pepakura/carboard stage only which i marked it phase 1.Beside it is the pepakura file done by sharkhead and dubean which i will fiberglass it later which is the phase 2 of my project.

nice work

Great work man.

Thanks man! I will post updates of my work. Thanks again for the helpful references here at RPF.com and the 405th!

Here is the stage wherein i had finished pepping it. Check the images.

I have started to apply resin in the exterior of the helmet in these images. I used paper clips to hold the faceplate and chin in place as I applied resin on the three parts together.

Very nice work!

Me and my pep-out darth vader helmet(low res pep) with respirator before fiberglassing.

I'm done fiberglassing the interior part of the helmet with the use of fiber cloth and resin. I'll be trying to add a thin layer of rondo as topcoat of the fiberglass, just a thin layer to make an even finish. Because I don't want to see any fiber cloth sticking when i wear it.

salamat pare. i will post updates asap. i tried both reinforcements (fiberglass and top of it is rondo)

Here's my progress so far.

Because Its my first time in this modeling hobby, I will be using this helmet for tests. I tried to rondo the inside of the helmet and underneath is the fiberglass cloth. On the actual helmet that I'll be doing, I am using the fiberglass cloth as it won't warp the pepped helmet. btw, I am not using cardstock rather I am using bristol board 3 ply.

Good work so far. Its always a good idea to experiment when you first start doing this work. Did you build the helmet at default scale or did you have to scale it up to fit over your head?

I adjusted the helmet to scale up my head. I had problems with the default scale, its a bit narrow on the ears part. I am pepping the actual helmet hopefully I could finish it so that I can resin it on the coming weekend.

That is looking really goood! Do you have anything else done so far or have you been focusing on the helmet first? Looks wicked

how the heck did you make the eye sockets! lol, i'm having so much trouble and frustration trying to put mine together ='(

Thanks dude. I'll work first on the helmet then if I have good results, I'll be working with the chest part.

I've cut some parts on the pep file and I didn't include a piece. I used super glue to stick all the parts, quite messy holding the parts together before drying.
