Iron Man/War Machine EASY hand files

[Hexvas]

Yes, just trim the excess off the blue part

oh, ok. I'll have to break out some foam sheets again later and retry this with a more informed perspective.

Thank you!

the handplate? like the handguard? there's already templates for that. it's really straight forward.

Yeah but I can't find any.

does foam work with the finger pep?

 

[IronWarrior777]

Thanks for the file!

 

[Hanzo]

Thanks the file

 

[j0wE]

does foam work with the finger pep?

yes it does, quite well actually

 

[TKSteve]

I am trying this ASAP. THANKS!!! No way I'm paying $200 for foam hands. LOL.

 

[j0wE]

Another tip, if you're using 2mm "foamies" you can double up on the "top" pieces to get a better looking glove. I use 3mm so I only use 2 layers but it was brought to my attention that foamies are only 2mm thick

 

[Tychan]

j0wE, I just want to say thankyou for the time and effort you put into these. I would have been stuck without these templates

 

[j0wE]

Thanks man, I've gotten so much help from here that I just thought I'd give back a little.

 

[TKSteve]

THANKS SO MUCH for demystifying this for me! Wearing most of a glove now as I type this. I just wish more RPF folks would attach PDF's like u did so us Mac folks dont get shut out.

Question tho: there's a kite-shaped piece (CDH) that's attached to the top part. It lays across my thumb: dumb question: is this thumb armor or??

 

[j0wE]

yes, thumb armor

 

[TKSteve]

MAN, u rule

After a few tries and some of my own mods my hands look great now!! Thanks man.... I'll be posting pic later...

 

[TKSteve]

I'm only having trouble getting the pieces to connect at the base of my hand (under my pinky). Otherwise it's going gangbusters.

 

[Kicx671]

I use another small sheet of the 2mm foam and joined the 2 together from the inside....

Wanted to share my success with j0wE's hand file. As is the case with ANY of these files, there is a bit of tweaking that needs to be done to fit correctly. I think this is especially so with the hand. After failing miserably on my first attempt, I was able to successfully complete the right hand. Each section for each finger had to be custom trimmed and fit to my hand. I had to reduce the "hole" where the finger goes on some and enlarge them on others. But, I think the end result is worth the effort. I shudder just thinking about having to do these with the original Pep files. :eek I will go back and clean up the glue areas before sealing.

The repulsor is made from a 9-LED flashlight from Dollar General (2pk for $4) and the top of a bottled water bottle. The light is currently running off of the flashlight's 3-AAA battery holder.

 

[rasco1985]

that looks great. May I ask what is the thickness of your foam you are using?

 

[7sinzz]

Awesome file jowe!!! Good effort mate. I was wondering, what are people using under the glove? There's bits of finger showing. I've never seen this attacked before. Any links to any finished gloves? Or any suggestions?
