Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files
Hi guys,
Just want to thank darkside501st and his team for all the hard work they have put in recreating this awesome armour set.
Im in the UK and have decided to give this build a go. Im a bit of a newb and this is my first pep project.
I have almost finished making the helmet out of carboard and its proved a bit of a mission, as cardboard is really difficult to fold!?!? However its more or less done apart from the eye sockets, as I cant work them out! haha
I've given that a bit of a break and have started on the chest, for the chest ive started using a material similar to sintra, its card on both sides and foam in the middle, and yet again its proving pretty difficult to fold, but easy to cut and very robbust.
as you can see here its looking good!
However im really concerned that (after struggling with glues) ive decided to use a LOT of celtape. Please dont hate me too much for cutting corners. My question is, will I have issues with the resin now as there is so much tape? and has anyone heard of resining sintra?
:behave
