Re: Iron Man COSTUME. TMP. Update Page 16
TMP, where are you getting reference on the IRON MAN movie suit? Looks like you've found more images on it than I have
You like to know dont you
Research and contacts.
I know we have not made it identical, and that is reasons for that.
Our back armor details not the Back top section but the lower back section is not correct to the movie. I did not like the paneling on the back sides, so we made it like an catepillar design.
Also dont forget the movie version armor is made of rubber and then redesigned in CGI. With CGI you can make all the details you want. But there are limitation to what you can do in real life as a hobby.
The studiaos got allot of money to make a costume but they got to think of the actors capability to act in it as well.
The suit must be durable, flexible so the actor can do the action secuenses. But it will fold up and wrinkle.. That they solve with CGI.
We cant solve anything with CGI, so we are taking this to another level. We have all the design details and taken much in consideration the wearers comfort to wear it.
Regarding a undersuit... A dark red wine colour undersuit will be the ideal to wear. I know some of the details how it looks. Its quilted in some areas a bit similar to Vader but not vertical but horisontal on the inside of the legs.
The areas on the joins will be made in rubber details to cover the exposed areas. This should be glued on a bodysuit or used snap on buttons so you can take of the details to clean the undersuit in the washer without damaging the rubber.
The rubber will be on the elbow, front and back of knee, neck and arround the arms. We are also thinking on making the details arround the facemask in rubber. So when you take of the golden plate you will have a visible face with the rest of the helmet on.
