Just wanted to post a quick simulation of painting variation :
thats freakin sweet! i was gonna make it aperture iron man but before i could my friend too the idea with my consent to do a drawing of it (concept only) he then photoshopped a suit and uploaded it to reddit without giving me any credit. so yeah bit sore about that

ok sorry im so late postin the pics but have been mad busy with college! none the less here they are thighs and shins! everything is all attached with clips from the waist right now gonna be building the neck and adjusting the abs tonight (hopefully) then move onto the boots and helmet outta card and prep for fiber glass resin and all that jazz!
lookin forward to painting its not far now!! =D
oh on a side note anyone know good tutorials on setting up the faceplate system and electrics? i know how to do the mechanical parts just not how to get it to work electrically any advice would be awesome!

as for the shins and calves jf himself posted a much better version bout ten posts back go look for them they are gold! finally im building the comic helmet and there is no foam version if your using foam my advice use card or paper it'll be way smoother
and good luck man! link me your thread when you get started!!

ive used 3 to 4mm foam for my helmets all the time i i always get great results anything larger then that would bend properly even using a heat gun. the trick to a good helmet is using several different types of foam for certain areas. llike for instance faceplats you always want a smaller mm foam like 3 or 4 cause you have to bend to contour it to shape. for the lip area below the face plate you would want to use lets says a 5mm to 6mm foams cause that area is raised details. other areas like the the hood scoop you want thins foam again to give it its shape and form the slope for it. these are just some ideas that have always worked for me. but as for body parts like chest back use thicker foam as it gives a rigid better shape. areas like the shoulders biceps and forearms i try to use a thinner 4-6m foam cause its the areas with most movement. legs always try to use a thicker foams cause those areas take a beating big time.

problem was a mix of too thick foam and way to high density then my only other foam was waaaaay to low density, like hot breathe would warp it!!

ok sorry i haven't posted in a while but keeping the big thing under wraps!but may as well do a written update!
ok suit is all painted and all strapped together!
still need to wire electrics but i bought the soldering iron today and getting the wires in the next few days.
still havent built boots but they are a very last thing priority
helmet is fiberglassed and bondoed all it needs now is a good sanding some minor detail engraving and finally removable points so i can fit my head in! then i can add electrics!
so will have pics this friday coming so keep them eyes peeled!
