Well... I usually don´t post Work In Progress threads, but I felt this could be done, since everyone and his pet ferret is speaking about the Mark VII.
I was challenged by none other than the worst person in the world - me - to do something uncanny. Until May 4th, I have to make the Mark VII, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Thor for the Premiere of the Avengers.
Yes - you got that right - Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Thor.
No Cap? Well, Cap will be there, but the guy who will go is adamant in going with the First Avenger Suit. Apparently he and many others think that the Avengers Cap Suit was a let-down. I know "*I* think so....
but on to the real build, shall we?
I wasn´t even doing anything related to that prior to Thursday, but someone was kind enough to post the incredible Kotobukiya statue pictures, and I thought... what the heck.
So I made this -
And while it didn´t quite work, it gave me the ideas I needed in the first place, so after watching something on TV, and at about 4-ish AM, I made this -
Which I felt that got the point across. So I slept at about 7 AM, (******* 3D was on and I felt like watching something really stupid), and after a while, about 5 PM, when a friend of mine came over with his girlfriend, I felt that the company was welcome enough, so I started cutting that on EVA while we were watching Boston Legal, which his girlfriend had never seen before, and we always thought very funny. Of course, being the somewhat smart fellow I am, I made both parts at the same time, and even though you´ll see the pictures of only one arm, both are ready. And it isn´t even 9 PM!
Long story short, here are the pictures of my friend wearing it.
And, just as a reminder of what it looks like -
And so begins my very first WIP thread ever. I hope you guys like it. I´ll be here all week. Try the veal, and don´t forget to tip the waitresses!
