Inexpensive 5 days built ►Foam Iron Man Mk IV◄

Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

If you did that in 5 days id love to see what you could do in a year. Perhaps a real Iron Man suit!
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

I just have a question about scaling, I made a helmet out of paper and it didnt come close to fitting my head, how do you print the pep files to a wearable size? I'm about 6' 1'' if that helps. Also, incredible build!

Another question, do you know of a place to purchase the foam mats that will ship to the US?

Hi again.

Well, here it is : DarkSide501st's Iron Man Mark VII JFcustomized files.

Note that Boots, gloves, brace, collar, collar plate, and neck are missing. You can pick them up from Robo3687'MK4 JFcustomized foam pep release.

I'll join a readme file soon, because I think that some tips need to be explain before you drive straight against the wall. For exemple, in the abs file, each flat part that is normaly on the front side of the body (as shown on 3D view) must here in fact be glued on the back side, between each pair of ribs, behind the corresponding vertebra. Front side is left opened, covered by the four abs plates.
A few little tricks like that, not explicit on the pep view.

HUFN8R -> so, happy ?



-->> "MK VII D-4 challenge" is to be followed in this thread : Speed-building : Iron Man Mark VII within 4 days.

Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

Note that all files download link will remain dead untill two or three points about original files creators's rights are ongoing. I've been a bad guy and did not ask for anybody's agreement... Please be patient.
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

Hum hmm...
Here we are.

Dear users from the entire world,
When you watch a video movie, le last ten minutes are always the same : a black screen with a OST's main title, and a three miles long list of names of peoples that did a thing for this movie. From the realisator to the restroom guy #4, everybody has his name minutely put down. It's shamely boring, and incredibly useless since meenwhile the whole audience is already trying to find back where they've parked their car (and they miss the short hang-up at the very end), BUT credits and casting remains at the end of every movie because it's imposed. And there is a reason why.:confused

TheRPF is a nice and bucolic place, where we can learn, expound, watch, submit, exchange and share knowledge. We often swagger, sometimes learn, and rarely inquire (re-sort on your own), because it's obviously the way a common forum works well.

It must not be a reason to share all and everything, of course, and we have to keep in mind that, just as in a movie, some support and knowledges would not even exist wihtout long time contribution and devotion of REAL people, who happened to spend non-stop long months elaborating concrete and accurate ressources. (And to share it, of course, since an unshared ressource is not a ressource). We can definitively not crop up and claim "have a look at the nice JFcustom's tower I buit out of matches in two hours only", when it remains in fact an Eiffel tower which I moded original plans to use maches as main material insted of steel.

Around here we do not deal with credits. Those who have tryed can't talk about anymore.:love
That's why I should have renamed each file inside my *.rar befor sharing it whith you. Just like at the end of movies. It can seem also boring and useless, but it has to be seen as a moral obligation for each of us not to disassociate a creation and its creator. And remember nobody can pretend having invented the Purpule Pig only by painting a pig in purple. :confused


But the worse is yet to come.:behave

Just like you I downloaded files, revise them for my own use, bought foam, and built a suit, wihtout asking whatever to anybody. That's fine, TheRPF is here for that too.
BUT ! after having been asked for, and when my turn finaly came to share these modifyed files, I quickly made a zip without inquiring about protocol nor permission from nobody. For an Eiffel Tower id would have been different, G.Eiffel died in winter 1923. But robo3687 and darkside501st did not. And as such, they legitimately want to know what happend to the original files they've shared, what do these files become between our hand. Especially they may want to be notifyed when their files are tunned, and above all they may want to retrive and check new packages in order to allow or no their public distribution.

:cry Oh remorse, remorse, robo3687 for Iron Man Mark IV and darkside501st for Iron Man Mark VII, please be kind enough to forgive an irresponsible and careless frenchie who stole your awsome 3D models you spent a crazy long time to complete, a single guy that finaly did only try to make your work more reachable for most of us, those who can't aford spending half a year to build a cosplay. I apology for all the inconvenience, and promise that by now I won't swift away official protocol channels. But please, it does not seem that users on this thread would like me to stop posting tips I use, nor files I mod. Just let them keep using your work with tips I explain, and allow an access to these files. The more your work will be used, the more consequentialy will grow your notoriety.:cool

Well, files are renamed, creators credited, humble apologyes done... can we please go on now and proceed to dl-links resurection ? Users are queuing... :darnkids

Thanks for the tips, you pointed out a few that I had discovered on my own, after intense trial and error. But, mostly error. I like the visuals too. I hope I can come up with a tip that helps people too.
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

Of course, you're welcome :)
It's sad that many users abort their building when it appears to be too much laborious.
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

JFCustom... I posted this in your other thread but just in case some people only read this thread:

JFCustom... that was quite a grandstand. Listen, I personally think it is no big deal to modify an existing file (in this case a pepakura file). I did not know anything about your work on this until you contacted me at the request of the RPF Team. So long as you are not claiming these files were developed by yourself then I do not see any problem with you sharing your building techniques and your foam templates of my pepakura files. I do appreciate you putting my name back on the files as I would like people to know where they originated from.

I think it is great that you have taken such a common sense approach to foam building, modified the templates to reflect that, and then shared your build with the other members here on the RPF. That is what this site is here for after all. So I say share on. Live and learn. Now you know one thing that will get you a slap on the wrist so to speak. :rolleyes
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

You'll find by now the *.pdo files in first post.
Thank to robo3687 for his benediction. :thumbsup
 
Re: Inexpensive 5 days built Foam Iron Man Mk IV

wow, I like the work and ideas you made for the center piece. I bet your kids had a blast hanging out with you

Re: Inexpensive Foam Iron Man Mk IV, french labeled.

Joining articulated and some sealed parts :

I used to work as graphist in a publicity agency, and we had always somewhere in the office a couple of useless and sun-faded color charts.



And ?

And I kept thinking that the potential of these pretty little plastic juncture clips were heavyly underexploited.



So I ordered a pack of 100 pieces, as it almost doesn't costs anything.




You can find some here or here or here or here... of various shape, color, diameter and thickness.





And I promise you some discret and incredibly easy attaching for mobile parts (knees elbow toes...) as well as sealed parts such top chest, flaps, handplates, spin and so on... depending of the pressure when cliping.

I am looking everywhere for these clips in the US do these have a particular name?
