whats up, the RPF!!! I have been browsing these forums for quite a while, gathering info on how to make my own suit for halloween/conventions..
i finally got around to making one, it took me about a month. i used JF custom's foam files for the entirety of the suit (the foam files modified from robo3687).
they can be found here: http://www.therpf.com/f24/jfcustoms-foam-files-148889/.
For the repulsors i used freaklord's design. http://www.therpf.com/f24/freaklords-cheap-iron-man-repusors-150699/
EDIT: im missing a few pictures (like how i got the eyes to light up, things like that, etc) ill add them once i have them.
anyway- here we go!!!!
