Heej keep up the good work..!!

The gloves look amazing and I love the movability they still have. Might explore fishwire in my gloves, since the movement still is amazing. Wonder how that works, can the wire move through the fingerpieces? or are they stuck in place?

Can't wait to see the gloves finished, it's my favorite part from the costume because of the movement freedom you want and the electronics all in one of the smallest parts.

Maybe a tip for the electronics:
I am Iron Man | Carlitos' Contraptions
This is just what's inspiring me at the moment... this is not my site and all credits should go to it's creator.

That is a good idea, the fishing cord goes tru plastic pipe like the W40 red plastic pipe, that was i used for the armor fingers.

Thanks a lot, i saw a few videos they are very helpfull, first need some cash for the materials.
The armor is on primer (automobile primer with few coats) today i will sand it with 320 and 400 sandpaper, then if a make some cash i will buy metallic silver paint automobile for the complete armor and then the other paints. I like to use the spray gun, it is more easier than airbrush.
Thanks for asking.

Great, first at all you need to find good photos of ironman from diferent angles, try that all the photos are the same size, so everytime you compare any armor parts (the pepakura parts) with the photos be almost the same. You can use a scale rules or largest poster. Check the rest of my thread there are some examples how i did it.
It is not easy but not imposible just need a lot patience. Good luck.

Yes and no, the silver metallic is for base only, when i paint it with the apple color on top it looks more nice and at the same time if the armor get some battle damage:lol, probably we'll see the silver metallic.
