I'm sure there are hundreds of threads on Iron Man and i don't blame you, Iron Man is awesome! I have always wanted to make an iron man suit but I never had time or a reason... until now. I recently volunteered cooking food for a children's hospital and i saw a clown handing out balloons out to the kids and brightening their day. I was like "Hey! I could do that kinda!" So my mission is to go to children's hospitals and events and just make children's days better because no kid deserves to sit in a hospital. Things you should know, I've always favored war machine more and iron patriot- basically a Rhodes fan. However, I realise that iron man is more reconizeable than war machine to little kids these days but I still want to make iron partriot or war machine (maybe both...) But for now concerning Iron Man suit making, I have some questions:
- Can I still use foam and still get good results? because i like deatil and I just bought a ton of cardboard
- I'm still a growing child, i'm currently 5'11 so what should I scale it?
- Which Mark would be the best to make? 4,6,7 or 42? (remember, this is going to be shown to little kids who don't know that much about the different suits) i thought of going with the mark 4 because it looks very similar to the iron man suits in all the cartoons kids watch today
- Should I make Iron Patriot? I mean it kinda contradicts what I have been saying but after I make an iron man suit, I can focus on that. I think the bright patriotic colors would look awesome to the little guys
- How long will it take to make a good detailed suit? I'm a junior in High School so homework comes first and Iron man second. Also I live in Ohio so our winters are pretty unpredictable
- electronics- faceplate, eye lights, maybe music?
- Cost?
- Any more advice?
