Re: iron man mk4 (wip) fingaz
missed you jedi thanks mate
Wow. I've always admired those who take on Iron Man suits!
thanks,but ive a great admiration for all work carried out by members of this forum,the talent,artistic flair,initiative blows me away:thumbsup
Fingaz, thanks for the tip! I'm gonna pick up a kit tonite. :thumbsupKeep Building!....
more than welcome delray,let me know how you go on with them.
filled n smoothed a bit of the other calf out tonite,leaving that for min though.resined n glassed the thigh gonna get a leg complete.
Sweet lines on your smoothed out parts, I'm also an ex-mechanic with a couple of years body work to fall back on and even I don't think I'll get mine looking that good

You don't live in the UK do you?
cheers cyberpaddy,you shouldnt have a problem if youve a couple of years of bodywork behind you.
im finding it has the brain working alittle harder than it does repairing a car (enjoying it)
im not meticulous,throw the filler on initially sand with 80 grit to get 90%of the shape using a matt black dust coat ,sand to one face leaving the dust coat to the other face you then be left with a definitive line,then dust it over again and sand the face not yet sanded creating the line again.
then a couple of light skims of filler or dolphin glaze self levelling on curves its bloody great good for edges/cutting lines in as well, 120 or 180 then a quick rub over with 320 always using a dust coat all the way,then prime n carry out final finishing/shaping.
im up in bradford w yorkshire,is cornwall full of vdubs yet?
