My Ironman MK VI Foam Build update 18/9/2012 First Ever Suit Up and Outing

thanks guys

I wanted to say thanks for the template! I used it and ended up with this


Thanks again and keep up the great work

That is awesome Dabid!!!
Can't wait to use Demolition's Template as well for my reactor.

And Thanks, this helped me get off my butt and back to work on my suit.
That just motivated me 150%

The RPF is full of innovative builds, that's what makes it such a great community

Ive done some test pieces which turned out ok im going to do 3 coats of un diluted pva then 2 coats of primer 2 coats of colour and 2 coats of laquer works well on the test pieces i can bend stretch and rub the foam and the paint stays the same just the case of finiding the right colours here in the uk, Ive just shot the primer and will do the colour later i will post pics as soon as ive finished some

Looks awsome dude. With regards to the back, I made my spine and hot glued it to the back then put velcro on it so it attackes to the abs. Mine is Dancing Fools MK III but it should work the same for you.

just a quick update i knocked up a left thigh today fits well see what you think

damn, you're good...

Just Auto paint but ill need about 1 tin of primer/top coat/laquer for each piece i recon and at £7 per tin that works out alot and money's tight at the min having not long got back from eygpt on hols lol , No not finished yet still got right thigh/left and right shins/boots and side pods to do ive been off work all week with a bad back i thought i would get loads done but its been to painful to sit at the table so todays been the first time building in days

ok guys i got cracked on today and got alot done ive now both thighs and left shin i wanted to get both legs done today but disaster struck and ive ran out of hot glue it wont arrive until tomorrow anyway see what you think
