Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files - Password in First Post

Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **New note in VIP section**

i just finished the chest file and was wondering, how is everyone attaching the removable parts on the ribs? i just want it as one piece. i was thinking just resining them, rondo on the inside of them then glue them on the main part.

So If i have searched, and read correctly, the upper forearm is meant to be layered on top of the lower forearm as depicted in the attachment below?

and when you release the V2, will you update it in the thread? or will it be a reply to the thread(post)?
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **New note in VIP section**

Yes please!! :popcorn

I can't wait to see the new files, even if it's justa pic!! :lol So curious!!

Alright, I don't want to post everything at once so maybe I will just post a pic or two every so often to keep the anticipation alive. ;)

Here is the first couple teaser pics:



Darkside501, I need the password for the Iornman files to make them fit me.

thanks

I sent you a PM.

Well, I don't think you are looking at the picture correctly unless you just got your words mixed up. The upper forearm fits inside the lower forearm. This is the same as the V1 files and will not work any differently on the V2 files.

When the V2 files are release I will change the title of this thread to indicate the update, I will make a post in here, and I will update the first post with the new info.

Beautiful!! :love :love :love

I'm probably going to wait at least for the LD (or HD we'll see...) version of the back part,because as of now glueing those super tiny strips looks impossible!! I'm lacking skill i guess...

However,
AMAZING WORK!!

I didn't know there was a tutorial. What points are you having trouble with?

I guess i was referring to his sale thread where he mentioned using like fishing line to link the fingers together.

Point is I found it.

After watching IM3 trailer, the mk VIII is definitely my next build. Either that or Iron Patriot.

Any additional tips on the hands Darkside?

this is my first time trying pepakura i have a question about the valley folds on the helmet the crease between the side of the helmet above the ears i'm not happy with. Just wondering if on the valley fold I should somehow score the back of the piece to my better valley folds? thanks don't know if this is the right place for my question
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **Now showing V2 teaser pics**

Hey Darkside.

I'm glad this thread is still going strong, and I appreciate all work you and the many other RPFers are doing. I took a break from costumes and am looking to get back into it. This seems like a nice project to start.

I downloaded these months ago, but I'm not sure if they've changed. It looks like there might be some adjustments made, so can you PM me the PW when you get the chance.

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Darkside I absolutely love your files, was beggining to build a Mk VII with your old files when I stumbled across this thread any way I can get the password to these new ones?

Do you have power tools? Once bondo sets, it is a very rigid material. That being said, with the right tools you could do just about anything with bondo. You can use a micro-blade on a dremil to saw out the valley-fold area, or you can hit it old-school and try a scribing tool to try to "carve" it out... go with a power tool. Nowadays they even have those square-edge vibrating saws that will cut strait into a material, so you don't have to worry about over-cutting the edges anymore. good luck!

I use a razor to score my folds, and on a valley-fold, I fold it like a mountain-fold, first, then I bend it into a valley-fold. It helps to create a cleaner fold. But that isn't the only way, and some might say there are better ways. get your butt on youtube and watch some other people. theherotutorials have some really boring, yet highly educational tutorials on youtube. GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Check out my build thread on my gauntlet. Link in my signature. There are some useful tips in there.

Hey Darkside I absolutely love your files, was beggining to build a Mk VII with your old files when I stumbled across this thread any way I can get the password to these new ones?

I don't mean to be a stickler but this is getting a little off base. I asked people to send me a request for the password via PM. I have had many people follow these directions and some others that have requested passwords by posting visitor messages, sending me emails, contacting me on facebook, and posting here in my thread. I have been helping everyone out but it makes things harder on me when I keep getting requests from all these different sources.

It is nothing personal, I just need to keep things simple. So from now on I will only respond to requests for passwords if you send me a PM.

Wow, I am also surprised that not to many people seem to be interested in the teaser pics I posted for the Mk VII V2 boot. If you guys don't care about seeing the pics then I can save myself some time by not posting them. So let me know if you could do without them.
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **Now showing V2 teaser pics**

I for one am super excited about your progress of V.2, I think everybody is hitting crunch time for halloween and spending more time on building at the moment. Please keep it up :) boots are looking good.
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **Now showing V2 teaser pics**

Hey Darkside,
Been reading your thread for ages. I think your work is amazing.
Can't wait to see the rest of the V2 suit. I did start on the old files but got sizing problem.
Am waiting in great anticipation for the new files.
Hope this motivates you to continue your work.
:)

thank you

It is hard to judge without seeing the rest of the chest piece complete, but it looks good on you so far. Some times pep can be a building game, you may have to build a part more than once to get the right scale and go from there:)
 
Re: Darkside501st's Iron Man Mk VII pepakura files **Now showing V2 teaser pics**
