Hey guys! I came accross this awesome website about a year ago and decided to build an Ironman suit. I was planning on getting started last year, but life got in the way, so I started this year in March. I initially thought of going the form route but seems like paper/fiberglass/bondo route gives a better and durable finish. So since theres a lot more hardwork involved I decided to start with paper and start early-ish.
I'm using @Helagak's abs, shoulders, biseps, jackieisrockin's shoes, chins, thighs, forearms, cod and @Blackout's helmet.
Heres a list of build materials/tools Ive purchased so far and hope the info will benefit others who are starting out.
Thanks for reading
