Re: MCL34N's Iron Man Mark IV- (UPDATED 2-20)

Yeah, I need bigger boots since my feet are weird anyways, my ankles are a bit big.
My boots have a 3 inch instep as well, so I'm going to be a good Ironman.

Only difficulty I think I'm going to have is scaling it all. But yes, I like your boots

It looks amazing, but the helmet looks awful. No offense cuz the helmet is the hardest to get right, I've made 7 iron man helmets from pepakura and I still haven't gotten it right.

I'm sorry for the harsh criticism.

It looks amazing, but the helmet looks awful. No offense cuz the helmet is the hardest to get right, I've made 7 iron man helmets from pepakura and I still haven't gotten it right. My latest one is the right shape but the size is too big.

his helmet is, by no means, awful. your comment, on the other hand, is leaning more towards that. if youve got constructive criticism, then share it. but dont come out of the blue in to someones thread to tell them a piece of their work is awful. all intentions aside, it was a rude remark.


now, McCL34N, this build is fantastic. i love your attention to detail, and taking each piece and breaking it down. instead of just trying to box it all out and be done. i just browsed thru your pics first and THEN started reading. i had no idea it was made from cardboard until then. keep up the good work!

Suit looks amazing thus far and the helmet is NOT awful by any means. I have seen many that are pretty wide at the top and lok a bit like Hector Hammond, or The Leader
but this one is pretty even, not perfect, but no ones will be "perfect"

Great work.

holy s*** ! this does really look good you have to make a tutorial on this.

i agree!
a quick video on how you draw up your templates and put your pieces together would be nice.
lol i know a few ways of doing it but it would be nice to see another technique!:lol

Joshalots, get off your high horse!
This helmet is really good, so get off the crack

Keep up the sweet work MCL34N!

Some updated pics of the armor, along with a sort of How-to for the armor-

I begin with the inner structure of the piece, the way I want it to sit on my body.

Then, with tin foil I sort of "sketch" the shape of the armor. The advantage of tin foil is it can be shaped any way you want, then cut into the geometric pieces you need

Then for more complex curves I define a few of the surfaces I want,

Then fill the gaps with more tin foil

And transfer the shape of the tin foil to card board.

the shape of the armor piece-

I add strips of thicker cardboard around the edges to give it depth

Cover in duct tape,

and voila!

At this point the armor is all taped together with masking tape, I'm going to attach it after I've finished adding detail.
