Re: Iron Man WIP
Ok take it out of my thread, I took it exactly the way you meant it Dark Asylum. I've fallowed your posts and know exactly where your coming from regarding other peoples work on IronMan or related suits. If you reread my post I say it's not movie accurate but close. That's it never asked about making it better or different just simply a statement. But I do agree with TMP.
Now for the guys that are actually here for this thread, thanks again for the nice comments. As I've said before it's just a fun project (turning into something else here though) the first I've done of this kind so it's a learning curve.

Re: Iron Man WIP
Pretty simple really, you should check out the 405th forum they have all the info your looking for as well as a great collection of Pep files.
But the process goes like this. Print it cut out all the sections (takes forever) fold em and glue em together (takes forever) . Brace it so it holds the shape your going for and resin the outside, once that has cured you glass the inside. Then the easy part, work the outside with filler until it looks the way you want it. If you peped it well then you shouldn't need to fill the entire piece just the round sections and edges (I wasn't that luck on most of it.
) Prime and paint. Really that's all there is to it, just layers of filler and primer.

You're the bastid that makes pep look deceptively easy. *shakes fist*
Fantastic work sir. "Add to my topics"

Re: Iron Man WIP
I'm about 1/3 the way through my buildup. Finhead and TMP have been inspirations to me. As Finhead says, the Pep, while great, is only so accurate. I fussed over accurizing it last night for an hour. I finally said "Aw what the heck" and I'll get it as close as I can without reengineering the thing.

Agreed but make TMP remove his posting my pictures and comparing cause that's not what your form is about and wee can all get along, weather your are buddies with him or not it's trolling.

Re: Iron Man WIP
I can't make TMP do anything.
Were not buddies, never conversed with him till this thread. But I agree with him.
As far as trolls go your the only one I see in this thread. I'm not going to get involved in thus spat or the drama, I'm done with thus thread. Anyone interested in seeing progress IR final pics can pm me ill let you know where they will be. What a waist of good feedback. :confused

Re: Iron Man WIP
I would have to agree the pep doesn't hold all the detail that a good sculpt does, but if your willing to spend a little more time and "sculpt" with fillers after the basic form of the pep is done, I believe you can get details just as good as a sculpt. Just as in sculpting its all in the fine details.
Sorry to see the squabbling on this thread, what a damper on such great work! I'll be interested in seeing the update on this project though, its friggin awesome.

Re: Iron Man WIP
I'm about 75% done pepping my own iron man, and to see that it can be done with such detail and awesomeness (that's right, awesomeness) really helps make those late night folding sessions seem worth it. I'm definitely inspired by your work man, for something that's just a 'fun project' :lol

Re: Iron Man WIP
Holy smokes!!! I've been away from the internet for a while and come back and see this!!! You've done amazing work with my pep files, can't wait to see the rest of the back pieces!!
TMP, huge fan of your work I used your latest armor a lot for reference when building the chest model.
Really looking forward to see how the rest of this suit comes together, hopefully have some more time soon to keep going on my model.

Re: Iron Man WIP
PEP IS NOT FAIR!!! :lol eheheheh, oh...I guess it is fair...since I've tried to make a neck and I've been cutting paper for EVER!!! I guess people sometimes do not understand how difficult and time consuming is to make a pep item...
So, you're doing a super dooper baseball blooper job my friend (don't worry about the all super dooper bla bla bla...i just woke up...my mind ain't connected to my fingers yet...), and about accuracy, you're just right.
it is a personal project? Yes, so you're the only judge about what you're doing.
You're selling it? Others may judge if interested.
I'm a little upset about seeing all this fighting about IM suits these days. It is pointless to argue, since the best Iron Man helmet out there, is MINE! MUAHAHAHHAHAAH Sorry guys, trying to ease up the thing a bit.
Anyways, this thread is cool, and it's making me envious about what you're doing But I won't give up to pepakura! I will start my armor from scratch...that means, I'll never have my armor done ahhahahahah :lol
You already have many followers Finhead, keep it up!
we all root for you!

Re: Iron Man WIP
Was just reading the whole thing again and I saw this:
AAHHAHAHAHA, you're my hero dude!
The world is a wonderful place! The worst thing to do for me, turns out to be the easiest for others! Give me your hands Finheads or ship them to me! I want your hands!!!
Filler-working is like a nightmare for me...takes me forever and ever
Anyways, the job you've done with the filler and the quickness of the entire thing just kills me! Tons of congrats dude

Re: Iron Man WIP
Thanks, they are great pep files to start with so thank you fro taking the time to do em up and share them. I just wish you had the time to do the rest of the suit, it would have been stellar.cool
Thanks, I what I do for a living so working with filler, primer etc is a daily thing. If I wasn't good at it I wouldn't have a job any more. :lol
Looking like House renos, out to work to finish sectioning a 48 rover down from a 4 door to a 2 door and then putting a front end on a 08 STI. After that I'm going to see if I can work on this, If I get any real progress I'll take some pics. :cool
Thanks again for the support guys and the interest.
