Cool! I kind of figured that I would be the only one on here... but I guess there are more of us out there than I ever imagined.

hello, thanks for the help with the dummy suit. Might giver a shot on the weekend. I buildin the mark V1 the pep files are from robo3687. the helmet is from here - Samuray/dungbeetle Iron Man Helmet
I got like 9 more pieces to glue on my chest(the triangle reactor..my son does not like the circle) then I will tackle the back.
theres also a shot in here on a storm trooper hemet I pepped and resined - my first.
did the resin in the house was not a good idea - it stunk.....
which pep files you using?

That sucks about the Doc Ock suit
. Would still be cool to get us local RPF'rs together for some Timmy's. I'll stop sidetracking this thread now, sending a PM Rage.

Can't wait to see more from this project.You should definitely check out some of the foam suits out here,they are quite detailed,even if you choose pep and fiberglass.You could do a hybrid of both like foam for the cod and waist for comfort.

Nice to hear some fellow cow-towners are into this stuff. i too am a noob and have started a Rinzler helm to go with my UD Replica suit that is arriving in the spring, although probably not in time for the Con! i will probably wear my Sam Flynn suit to that. it's a shame there was nothing else to pep cuz the helm's are my favourite part of any costume. i plan on doing a Daft Punk Bangalter helm for my DJ brother and a Boba Fett helm for another brother after my Rinzler.
Could there be a worse one to start with, all glossy black with very few good reference pics. but it is all pep'd out (about 10 hours) and ready to resin it tomorrow (Jan 20). i'm gonna start a thread for it soonish

Well, after drifting away from this project for quite a while, I've decided to revisit it once again. New completion goal to be Halloween 2012. Started fresh and fired the forearm off in the past 24 hours. Need to up the size a little bit as my monster hands do not fit in it and it's a tad short for my arms. But at least I'm back into it!
Hmm. Can't upload a picture using tapatalk... I'll get some up in the next couple of days.
My plan for the abs and neck seal is to cast the final product and use some sort of flexible colored rubber to use with the costume.

Thanks for the update. After years of enjoying DIY costumes at SDCC and CCEE I have decided to give it a try as well. Lots of inspiration on this forum! It is also nice to see so many fellow Edmontonians [Albertans]. Anyone dressing up for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday? I might break out my Captain America costume and wear it to Happy Harbor, although I am still in the process of finishing my shield build.

Update! Shin is I would say 90-95% pepped!
Photo is up on my sky drive. Still can't upload from tapatalk.

First shin has been pepped completely.
Need to get ahold of some fiberglass and resin to run over it with. will be moving onto another piece, probably the codpiece next. don't want to get burnt out doing the same piece over and over lol

Glad you posted that your calgary based! I've been watching this site and got some good pointers on foam building. I'm working on the mark vi right now. Hopefully in time for halloween. If it turns out good enough I might even wear it to comicon next year.
I'm assuming your going fiberglass route? Which version of the suit?

i've seen a fair bit of foam and pep builds on here. i decided on pep because you can get more detail in it. good to see another calgary builder though. keep in touch. maybe we can help each other out.

sigh. and here i thought it was going to work i didn't scale it properly. upped the shin size to 483 mm (damn me and my 6'3" frame) and am going to start working on that now.
Ive been running into that too.. i originally did the chest and back but then the back looked really out of scale... back to square 1.
scaled down the arms since im only 5'6-7 and they are ok... the cod was too small at the scale of the arms...square 1.. left the scale for the cod at original which is fine now, and continued with the abs at same scale as the cod which is also fine..
My thighs are scaled down and "so far" i think they are ok.. i'll know more when i do the shins and link them together..
