Iron Man Mark 1 WIP Freehand (PIC HEAVY)

[toomanyclowns]

This is first first project that I will have attempted without the aid of a Pepakura template. It'll be made mostly from foam and the remnants of other projects - kinda Fitting for a mark 1 armour.

The helmet is a piece of foam with the curved top made out of the plastic from an old Ikea lampshade.

Painted:

Already I can see I'm going to have scaling problems but ill press on as it s a good way to learn freehand making.

Hey there...Any idea what the lampshade looks like? I love found item-based builds!

 

[toomanyclowns]

I have no idea sorry - its a really old ikea standing lamp.

Update:

Still needs some more weathering and touch up but that's the left shoulder nearly done.

Learnt that a heat gun is really good at taking away the hatching pattern on the floor mats used for the feet.
