Hi guys. It's me again. :facepalm My Mk7 suit is nearing its end so I thought maybe I could spice things up a little bit. First of all, when I first saw the suit for the upcoming movie IronMan 3 I said to myself that they are really making it hard for costume replica builders to make one like it, and that they broke the tradition of the classic red/gold color scheme. At first I didn't like the suit honestly. But when I started revisiting my comic book collection, it kinda grew on me.
Secondly, I know I've been here for a while now, but I still consider myself a Newbie when it comes to things like this. I still ask other members for their opinions and suggestions as I believe we all have rooms for improvement. I would like to thank the guys who helped me with my resin suits when I started namely Finhead, ProjectEarth and Surreal Studios [Sir Kagn] for the tips and for answering my queries, STEALTH for the support and ideas [especially in Facebook, you 'da man stef! :thumbsup], DonRobert, Roy, gaiatron for the file unfolds and the list goes on [yes I do have a lot of people to thank here for giving me the motivation and inspiration for continuing these projects].
And now for the main part.
These were made by eye so sorry for not providing any templates. But if you'd like, feel free to ask and I'll try to help you out.
I'm still using the same rubber thickness that I used with my mk7. For the details, I used 2 different rubber sheets with different thicknesses. I'm also planning to have my helmet and backflaps motorized for this suit. I started with the parts from the bottom up this time around to work with the proper proportion for this suit. If you'd notice, the suit is nearly skin tight.
On to the pictures!

As for the helmet, I'd like to thank Labsic for providing the file. :thumbsup Helmet made from sintra backed with fiberglass [Thankyou gemini khan for the idea:thumbsup]
I'm currently working on the codpiece. I'll try to post updated pics as fast as I can as I'm working really slow with this suit to have it more detailed and as close as possible to the suit released in SDCC 2012 and puffy painting the spidey suit I purchased from DamnGoodPaul so it might take a while [good job on the print btw Paul :thumbsup] to have this done, but hopefully I can finish it before the release of the movie.
Cheerios!:thumbsup
