yeah another ironman mark 42 thread, but i just want to share this one because i'm really like the way it turns out 
my buddy ironshawarma asked me to build him a mark 42 using helagak's mark 42 files, but then i decided to make it hybrid just like my suit, using both jackieisrockin's and helagak's files
here's what i used for the parts:
torso(chest and back) - helagak's file
abs - jackieisrockin's file
cod - helagak's file
legs - jackieisrockin's file
arms (shoulders, biceps, forearms) - helagak
helmet - gimpee's file
hand/palm repulsor - zabana's hand file
fingers - robo's mk6 fingers
i don't have much pictures of the WIP but i had these instead
i started building helagak's chest and back files. . .scale to fit a 5'7" guy
next is the ab piece, using jackieisrockin's ab file. .scale to fit 5'7" guy and is exactly the same with helagak's ab file
the reason why i didn't use helagak's ab file, my pc crashes whenever i try to reduce the pages on the whole suit pdo file. .lol
days later. . .after finishing my gurren lagann costume, i started to seal each parts of the suit, no pictures of the other parts being built because i was toooo lazy that time to take pictures and i'm so freakin' tired :cry i'm using acrylic emulsion here to seal the foam, i use 4-5 layers of acrylic emulsion to give the foam a nice shiny coating for me to paint
pain-ting, yeah that's my term because i really hatteeeee masking, that's the pain. . .and here's a quick comparison of my mark 42 and ironshawarma's mark 42. . .
fingers, made of paper mache-d robo's mark 4-6 finger pep file
yeah jackieisrockin's boots, the extension flaps on the top will be inserted inside the shin to preserve it's proportion
at last! i finally painted the suit! the "smaller" mark 42 is mine
i added some details on gimpee's helmet foam unfold. .and i used a 9v powered blue led strips on the eyes. . .
:thumbsup the suit is shipped yesterday and hopefully it will arrive there before halloween (and it did arrived before halloween yey!)
thanks for viewing and if you have questions just ask i don't bite much :lol
