Iron man 3 Mk 8 in pepakura - A collaboration work

[IMIM2]

I've done a very quick and dirty color trial.
The new one (shin) is using tan color (not metallic), while the red is still same candy tome red with silver base.
I like to use candy tone because it gives more shades.

The old one (forearm) using metallic light gold color.

My attempt to give a bit silver shade on tan was not successful.

Hmm, which one is better scheme?

 

[IMIM2]

Hmm, Johnnymuffintop,
so saying you want to build 3d mannequin of your dimension, translate it in pepakura and build it?
It can be done :love

 

[IronShwarma2754]

So how are the bundles coming along just checking in

 

[IMIM2]

I have to hijack my own thread to show this awesome build

Helagak, and you still figuring how Mk5 suit works? Well, homework for you LOL

 

[docholiday78]

the tan color looks better, did some research n the name of the color is military beige

 

[IMIM2]

Tan, military beige, or in my case C100 (WTF?) is not metallic.

My car is champagne, or beige metallic, similar to Mk8, but I couldn't find the spray can version.

The Mk8 I think is metallic looking. So what I wanna do is to spray silver at far distance to give a bit "sparkling". But the wind was too strong, the paint dust never reach the surface. I might wanna search for pearl color (transparent metallic) for the finish.

But yeah, I think i will stick to the tan.

Thanks doc.

How's the build coming?

 

[docholiday78]

thats a good idea to get metallic looking, little extra time i have been getting started, gonna take my time i want it perfect. the forearms look really cool and appreciate all the time ya guys puttin in this I know its gotta be a pain in the arse :lol :thumbsup

 

[IMIM2]

Finished making the right forearm.
So from left to right:
Right forearm, left forearm, version 2.0, version 1.0.

And they were tattooed on the inside woth "L" and "R" to prevent stupid things happened again.

 

[Helagak]

Yeah, I saw that mark 3 build. Just incredible.

 

[Addamisk1]

when will these be available?

 

[IronLeoMan]

i am interested in the testers

 

[Helagak]

The PLAN is to have the whole suit available by the end of the year. I don't see how we can't accomplish that.

That looks incredibly awesome! I always found it really hard to make complex curved surfaces using inventor. Are you using the Alias module?

 

[Helagak]

That's the realtonystark or somethings model. It is very impressive. I also have a hard time. E making complex curves in inventor.

 

[IMIM2]

when will these be available?

File is available in Junkyard for upper torso.
Do read, or search please.

@IronLeoMan
Tester file no more my friend.
Out of ten, just several return to me. Only one with actual picture.

Thank you.

 

[NeoGaiden]

[GermanIronMan]

What did you guys use for the hand ? Gloves ?! But what kind of ? Or Even which ones?

 

[IMIM2]

we'll use same hand pep as other version. We're not gonna make a newone

 

[IMIM2]

Decided to separate whole foot into boot, shin and thigh for better scaling.

Finished doing boot v2.0. Not very happy with the result.
Also I have wide foot, this boot was drawn for normal foot.

Shin was the old one, but I think the size is good for me.
Will make a new one slightly bigger

 

[Tony Stark III]

IMIM2, just curious how talk you are, and what would have to be scaled to fit a 5 foot 6 frame.

My height is my issue. thanx.
