Re: Robo3687 - IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates -Easy to Build "Green" Versi

I don't remember what Stealth recommends but I go with 6mm foam for almost everything. I used 2mm for some details and the hands I got from DocHoliday are made from 2mm which is best for that.

hey!

sadly ive already order 4 plates of 3mm thick :/ ill just use that for the helmet and get the 6mm for the rest,
thanks for the reply!

Re: Robo3687 - IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates -Easy to Build "Green" Versi

hi all,

I have been following this thread and others for a while now. Have built a couple of helmets (thanks to Robo, Jowe, Stealth and anyone I have missed for all your great work and the generosity to share it).

My question is how do you get the foam helmet to stiffen up enough so you can motorize the lid without it warping all over the place. Have done a little research and see that PVA + water seals the foam but am unsure if it makes it rigid enough for it to stay in shape once i cut the lid off

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

line the inside in some key areas with cardboard. Make sure to do that to the pivot points where you want to install a hinge as well.

coat all the cardboard areas with resin.

pretty simple.

Hi all.. many thanks to all of you who've been posting here.. I've been quietly working on my suit since august or so, and the photos & tips in this thread have been invaluable =)

Worst thing about finishing, is that I just want to start another one =)

I've made my own thread over here.. http://www.therpf.com/f24/my-iron-man-2012-halloween-costume-164673/ and I have a more detailed write up over here.. Dwellers Mad Costume Design: The 2012 Halloween Costume..

Does any one have any experience with the brush on plasti dip method? How was it? Or do most of you do the pva method to seal the foam?

If anyone has the pepakura, (be it foam or not) for the Iron man mark 4/6 thigh addons I would be willing to trade an ultimate iron man pepakura file! I really need the thigh addons please help!

Thigh filler plate templates can be found here:

http://www.therpf.com/f24/iron-man-mark-iv-vi-upper-thigh-148114/

Luckily, I don't think I am going to need them. Wore the suit for the first time Saturday at our church's Trunk or Treat. The metallic red zentai suit was almost a perfect match to the color of the suit. If you look at this pic, the red between the top of the thighs and the bottom of the cod is actually the zentai suit. Good enough, if you ask me.

After wearing the suit for a while, I now know of a couple of things that I'm going to revise/add/modify as well as doing some weathering. But, all in all it worked out great and the kids loved it.

What is everyone using to put the suit on themselves? Straps? Buckles? Velcro? Im having problems mounting mine.

You need to check out Master Stealths Hero Tutorial Videos on Youtube sir. He basically put together an Iron Man for dummies set of videos. They are fantastic. Hero Tutorials - YouTube

Straps, buckles and velcro for me. After one night out, I'm redesigning a bunch of my buckle placements.

Stealth, Robo, Bippou,Vinny, etc...man you guys ALL amaze me. I work from home, and since I have seen Stealth's tuts (been watching daily) I've been reading this thread post by post from home, gleaming as much info as I can. Not gonna start actual work on my own suit till probably after New Years, but I am already amassing my tools and supplies, and have given my wife and daughter ample warning about me getting my Mad Scientist on all next year, lol.

Just wanted to say that you guys, everyone who's posted in here and forms this community, are so very awesome and you inspire many MANY of us. Look for my build thread in early 2013, gonna shoot to have it read for at least Halloween 2013.

Keep kicking butt guys ^__^

hey guys ^___^ these templates were EXTREMELY helpful and I managed to put together an Iron Man costume for Halloween in two weeks! Granted, this costume is still a work in progress (still need the shoulders, biceps, thighs and fingers). I'm so excited to start wearing this to conventions and the Iron Man 3 premiere ;D

This build is made of cardboard and vinyl fabric but now i regret not using foam ;A;
I have more work-in-progress photos on my tumblr
