Has anyone done an Iron Man Mark I?

[vtswordfish]

Just curious. I see a lot of the Mark 3, etc. but I don't think I've ever seen the Mark 01 done as a suit. I'm sure someone out there has done it, right?

There are a few, one in foam I believe if you search this forum you should get some results. I did a lid awhile back.

Yep I've seen a very VERY impressive Mark I suit made in foam not too long ago. It was somewhere in the forum and the video of his test-fit was on youtube :thumbsup

That lid looks beautiful Finhead!

Yeah, there was one guy from china that went to work in it. Pretty amazing stuff.

Yeah I tried to search the forum but kept hitting on the other builds but couldn't seem to find a Mark 1 build. Beautiful helmet, do you have a build thread for that somewhere?

Sorry no build thread, just something I scratch built on a long weekend awhile back.

Wow! That's amazing.
One of the guys from Nightmare Armor Exomechs did this for DCon a few years ago. It was equally impressive, but I suspect very heavy. He didn't wear it too often.

Love it, awesome work! Maybe one day I'll get around to building one up, any tips on what to use as a base?

You could just buy one off me, it would be easier. But I used syntra heated and hand formed as a base, then used automotive grade filler to smooth and detail as I do with all my builds.
