Iron man Mark 85 for Halloween. First build

[Ironstar]

So me and a few close friends have always had a theme for Halloween, this year we are heading as the avengers. Has been very short notice and have only ever dabbled in EVA foam and cosplay but never anything as big as a full suit. So any help and advice is always welcome building the whole suit from 5mm and 10mm foam and throwing in a few LED’s for good measure. Also trying to source materials in the U.K. for this stuff has been a nightmare!

Thats great! Agreed, finding decent materials for foam in the UK has been a nightmare. The results im getting from flexipaints is frankly a disaster, decent foam is hard to source, Fillers and stuff....

I managed to find the USA recipe plastidip on EBay and it has worked a treat, if only we had the same DIY places like in America
