WIP Mark III iron man armor (on hold) war machine helmet p2 [pepakura]

Oh wow. That's great!!

That's mind-bogglingly awesome!

thanks guys

Well it's far from perfect or simply good to me ... i'll re-do the entire torso and the helmet (i'll take the HD one).

For the articulations i'll use the medieval technique with aluminium.
(shell and compression articulation techniques) ..

Fantastic Pep work your cutting is clean and so is you assembly... To be honest you dont look like you need to re-do anything, for a non HD helmet it looks great keep up the good work.

I cant wait to see your articulation method too, investigating that now myself

Agree it looks really good I started mine the other day I can't wait to get to put a few pieces on

Your progress is looking great.

Hey, now I don't feel so old Lol Ha! Ha! 38. By the way Great Work! You can fix anthing you have already pepped, don't start over, Start fresh & just finish what you've begun. Good luck. Keep Building!....

those are good clean peps! keep it comin' looks good!

these are looking pretty good! Can't wait to see the end product!

I've used Dancing fools files (i'll redo the abs part using CyberPaddy66 work )

I warn you now it's not correctly scaled, I pepped up the front part and it's TINY!!! if you tell me what size you need them I'll re-do the unfolds for you as I'm going to need them re-done for my own use and I won't know the scale until I get down to the cod piece and I have to do the chest and back pieces before I do that

any progress on the build, its off to a great start

hello i'm not dead... not yet lol

due to a humidity problem I have to rebuid all the chest, helmet and legs....

so i've already make a new helmet : the sharkhead HD one :



tomorrow i'll test acrylic resin

For he ab part don't worry CyberPaddy66 i know how to scale them up if needed

That new helmet looks great, looking forward to you're new pieces.

I'll save you some time as these are scaled correctly the same size as the rest of DF's model 1.525 so they will be in keeping with all the other DF files you've used

anyway thanks again

Great work!! im using your pic for reference for my first pep MK.III helmet so thank you.

Just a question for you on the helmet. the size of my helmet is fine, its just when it is together it is hard to get on, will pieces have to be cut from the bak to fit over the head after bondo stage?

I'm glad and proud that my work can help somebody to build his own helmet

I can't put mine when it's together .. so I use the back piece (with the "ears") as "locking part"

But eventually when you fiberglass it and use bondon on it so it will be solid. how will you mange to fit it over your head?

Id be so happy if I got mine close to yours :-)

well i don't know yet maybe an articulation at the back and a lock on the jaw ...
i'll see that later, for now i'm trying acrylic resin with fiberglass and it seems to work fine, i hope i can post new pictures tomorrow

For the helmet , take our time it'll be fine

Look forward to the new pictures!!

sorry no picture yet, the resin / pondo take more time that i've expected to be done correctly ..

So , here's a picture of my helmet.
It's far from finish...

The first surfacing has been done, now i'm correcting the proportions and i'll re surfacing all of it .
The back lower part isn't done yet, i'm wainting 'till the rest is finish to re-attach it correctly.

Looking good! Can't wait to see the progress

Excellent work so far, looking foward to more
