Another DIY Ironman Mark 42 build.

[E Dezigns]

Hello guys, its been a while since i been on this site. I previously wanted to build the Ironman Mark 7, but now i will be attempting to complete an Ironman Mark 42 suit. This will be a journey for me. I will be starting off with the helmet of-course like most of us always start with first. Thanks to Tom Neverwinter from Thingiverse for the helmet file. I will be also attempting to model my own pieces, only until i save enough money to buy the complete file. :facepalm:cool I have already completed my own neck file on Fusion 360, and will make modifications on it to have more than one option. Well here i go. Hope everyone enjoys my progress.

Looks good so far! The helmet looks really big in the picture with you holding it, but how does it fit?

Thank You. That is my daughter holding my helmet. She was helping me water sand pieces and wanted to take a picture with it. the helmet is going to be prepped for a mold. The inside is too bulky to fit. It should fit perfect on my head because I scaled it to the size of my Mark 7 helmet i made. Once I cast it, I will post up. You building an Ironman suit?

Ah, my mistake. Most posters seem to be the ones with/in their helmet. I can totally understand her wanting a picture with it if she helped out though.

I'm in the very, very early stages of an Iron Man suit myself. I like the idea of having a one of a kind suit, which got me looking into all the Iron Man 3 variants, and I kinda like the Mk 40, but it's too unique to be instantly recognized as an Iron Man suit. The more I looked at it, the more I realized I liked other features from different suits too. The result is that I'm planning on making a hybrid suit that wouldn't look out of place in Iron Man 3 but isn't canonical. Since it's not canonical, I can mess around with spacings and shapes a bit more, so I'm focusing on designing weapon systems first, then building the covering over it after.

Sorry I have not posted anything up lately. I have finished the Mark 42 helmet but have not painted it. I have so far got a chance to print out the Mark 42 forearm, hand shield, repulsor and fingers.

What is the paint in the 5th photo? Is it a special type of primer? Thanks!

 

[E Dezigns]

For the red I am using Toreador red and for the gold I am using Harvest gold. I will be using another tone of gold for other pieces,but don't know which one yet.

Hope this helps. Would like to see your progress.

Hey thanks for the info. What I meant was, in the photo where the helmet is dark blue, is that a type of primer? It reminds me of high build automotive primer, just wanted to double check what it was

 

[E Dezigns]

Yes, it looks like a light blue but it is a duplicolor grey primer.
