Re: Iron Man WIP
Thanks guys for the nice comments, means quit a lot coming from such talented people. I just like to build stuff if I'm able.
Yeah these are the files off the 405th, the helmet is done by Dungbettle and the chest by Dancin_fool. I only have the torso files to work with though the rest of the suit is not finished and I suck badly at pc software so scaling other stuff to work with the upper stuff is a no go. Might end up with half a suit. :unsure
These pieces are still in the rough out stages, the helmet a little finer than the chest. The helmet is only down to 180grit and needs quit a bit of work to the rear/ear section. I reworked the top vent and faceplate twice already cause I wasn't happy with it, set me back a few hours for sure.
This is the first costume/suit I've made, played around with some Batman stuff out of foam and a Batgirl sculpt a few months ago but unless I invest a bunch of cash in the casting supplies I can't finish anything. So that went on the shelf, this is way more cost efficent.
I do build other things I'm an autobody mech by trade so this is pretty easy to do, I've been doing it my whole life really. I also machine and airbrush a bit, here's some links some of my other work if you guys want to have a look see.
Oh and all my work on this and my machining is all done manual, I don't have a cnc. Just wanted to add that, seem to be the first thing people ask me for some reason.
