Iron Man Butt Gaps

[Bradester]

So, I've seen posts on what people do to fill the gaps between the front thigh and cod piece of foam Iron Man suits, but what are people doing on the backside between the thigh and butt?

Front and back gap fillers, please post some pics!

I'm also interested to see what people have for this area. I know alot of people leave this part out so you can see the under cloathing but i would rather have these parts added too

My opinion is that people arent looking there - I know iron man is sexy, but really, when you have an actual iron man suit nearby, I know i woudnt spend the time looking at his ass... But if anyone does have something to put there, that would be a nice addition to my suit if/when I finish it...

best thread title ever. butt gaps.. :lol

when i build my IM im going to layer red leather like steps to create that 'collapsable' look in those areas. the technique looks like how the MK V armor is assembled.this created a firm foundation while maintaining flexibility

Glad you've asked this question, looking forward to responses, techniques, pics, etc.

i would imagine either leather or latex ribs in the gaps to make it look like a full undersuit.

i'm working on this exact idea, but for every part of my suit and i dont want to show it off till its done, but for the missing parts your talking about, if you look at the mark 6 you can see that its like layered plates under the cod and thigh similar to the front, but slightly more uncomfortable than roy's fantastic idea for the above thigh piece, i suggest you try a curved section of foam with the requisite slit in the middle, one for the top of each thigh?

P.S. dont forget to form this with your heat gun like crazy, the fit has to be really really good or its gonna look terrible...

Well we've all seen statues and figures that have joint details, BUT, I want to see the actual costume bits being worn.

Yes. BUT, the point of this thread is to show what actually works and how it looks.

davy from Germany had them on his armor display a while back and was selling the rubber pieces for thigh/rear...forearms/fingers/knee backs. Have to see if I can locate the thread if you are interested. I purchased a set but they have yet to arrive.

[Bradester]

OK. That's one idea.
Keep it going! This Thread shouldn't be this complicated.

 

[Freaklord]

I think this is a great idea for a thread.. I hope some examples are added soon.

Nice shot Mr Fett-- any other pics of your suit? Do you make/assemble it yourself?
That Bunns of Steel DVD really paid off!
