OHHHhhh Sweeet lord.. What we do in glassfiber they do in CGI
This looks sweet but notice on the elbow ... The armor is made of rubber as i suspected.... the original armor does not look like you se in the photo bellow.. the photo bellow is Cgi rendered... But it looks awsome.
I noticed some areas of the costume... There is a big torn crack on the side of ironman, under the arm side on the chest.. It looks like the material torn. However.... I LOVE IT ANYWAY:love
First: this is not the CGI armor, it's the "real" one...
Second: I'm not entirely sure, but I think that the armor is not rubber, except for the inner part of the elbow joint OR (and this could be possible) the "biceps" part of the armor is solid and the lower part that goes from the golden part down to the elbow could be soft... So, two materials for one sigle piece of the armor...
Third, and most important: WE WANT AN UPDATE!
From this video it's pretty clear the armor is full and real an has only minor CGI on it. It seems the actor can move quite well. And it's definitely made of rubber or he couldn't lay down on the floor.

I am not saying the armor is not real. Also the armor they wear for the movie does not have as sharp details as the shot i reffered to. That is CGI rendered on top. Try to look at the piston on that photo and the gauntlet on the left side. You can se the details are standing out.
TMP. Are there 2 differnt groin sections ? the one with the abb plates connected looks differnt from the one that is on its own. Am I looking at that right ?
Again great work. Your designer knows his stuff to be sure.
