Greetings,
This was my very first attempt at anything Iron Man-y regarding EVA foam. Instead of making the entire suit (since I'm still a fledgling when it comes to the Pepakura files and making foam appear seamless) I decided to just dress up like Tony Stark and wear just the arm to the premiere for April 27th. It was my first attempt, I had to trim the finger guard things because they were cutting circulation off in my finger tips LOL. But I'm pleased with the result. I had to make a few creative liberties with the design since some of the pieces didn't want to cooperate (I blame myself since I'm still new to this). I know the Mark VII arm is all red, but I wanted a splash of gold on there as well. I used coloniel red (satin) for the paint and metallic gold for the hand plate, then clear coated the entire thing with this new crystal clear coat (the name isn't coming to me but when I get home I'll post the name). I'm still trying to figure out an easy method for the repulsor light.
