Re: Iron Man Mark IV/VI Build
They'll still be resin but a more flexible resin. Perhaps even Vac formed?/
I'll see what the easiest way is cause, in all honesty. I hate casting big parts like that in general.

I'm not leaving the costume as cardboard. I mentioned I'm going to resin, fiberglass and fill, sand etc.

I worked hard many years, sacrificed a lot just to save the money to do it. Wishing for me didn't help much lol.

Stealth you're a machine man. Can't wait 'til you get this bondoed.
P.S.
Your homegym is making me envious.

Re: Iron Man Mark IV/VI Build
Wow you were not kidding about a quick build. The upper torso pieces look awesome and the fit looks perfect. So, instead of the usual pep file method you are tracing the foam files onto cardboard? I am curious why you chose this method, is it because it allows for a much quicker first stage of the build? I hope you get better soon, drink lots of green tea and get plenty of rest.

A ) Because my foam suits only last 2-3 wears for me and I don't want to look at them anymore once the paint cracks and what not. I don't even want to bother repainting my Canadian Patriot to War Machine 2.0 anymore because it will be in vain.
B) hard suits look more like a replica. Many different resins you can cast them out of: Rigid, semi-rigid, flexible. You can have what you need for a specific part.
Nothing to do with quickness really. Cardboard takes more time planning it out and a lot more strength to cut by hand which can be a deterrent for others to use it and then have to do all that work later, strengthening, glassing, filling, sanding. I just want to take the time and make something awesome and be proud of.
If it can be as good as yours I'll be pleased.
