Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V WIP with pics

HOLY ARC REACTOR! THATS BEASTLY! Seriously, thats awesome. I have to ask about comfort though. I use the Cardstock/Fiberglass Resin technique for armor building and it's not always comfortable but it looks like the rivets underneath, particularly in the arms and groin area:wacko, would make it rather uncomfortable to wear for extended periods unless you put padding there.
Just wondering, Great suit BTW! I've said that about 3 times now... sad....

i had been thinking about that. test fitting it was a literal pain in the back(rivets). so i went and got some closed cell foam tape. its a little thicker than what i would ideally want. im going to see how it holds up. i might have to cut slits in the foam to give it more play so the adhesive doesnt pop off.

im thinking a silver longsleeve underarmor suit. i think the silver will fill in any gaps in the suit. im not sure about the modulator. just cause of cost and whatnot. Thanks for checkin it out, i should start on the boots here soon. i have an pair of DCs im going to be riveting plates into.:love

hows the size on the helmet so far? Mine is almost dine, I ran into a little problem with fiberglass resin warpage though my chin is off less than a cm :-/ Ive never used this stuff before and wish I could start over its easier to just fill the inside and get it thick, then just sand the paper off. no need for bondo then. ol hind-sight lol make sure you glue everything together resin it up then seperate the faceplate and back.

Hey quakevirus, have you seen Dubean33's Mark v helmet screen shots yet? He said he was going to release it tonight but its not out yet. That would go great with your already amazing suit! Im glad to see that You-Know-Who isn't the only one who can get great results from this construction method.

Hey catfish!! http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae15/Dubean33/mkv1.png
stop the helmet pep, lol. Im so irritated, I wish I would have waited a few days until I started fiber glassing. I guess Ill make this one the mk 2 unless anyone wants to trade a mark 3 fiberglass stage helmet for a printed out pep of the MkV and $15 for the resin lol.

i thought he was going to do a war machine first. :insert cursing here: this makes me happy and mad all at the same time. will definitaly be doing the Mark V helm instead of the Mark III. gonna have to check the 405th and get the pdo so i can make a pdf.

And thanks for the amazing compliment! i will definitely be making another suit here in the near future. just gotta finish this one first. :wacko
