Re: new project Iron-Panther!!! forearms done cod and thighs next
Thanks to skylu3design, i should finally get over the hurdle of the helmet very soon, and thanks to darkside501st for his amazing mark 7 files, (downloaded them a long time ago, not sure how i missed them as much as i have been looking through my files for individual pieces, but oh well) i am back on track with my iron panther build, gotta remake a few pieces (dont like the look of them when part of the whole costume) but as soon as the silhouette cameo i ordered (finally) i can actually get some work done, instead of spending an entire day cutting out a 50 page piece and gettting discouraged. soon ill be cranking out the parts, and hoping to do half as good as some of the builds i have seen here, if i pull this off, ill have one epic costume

Re: new project Iron-Panther!!! forearms done cod and thighs next
lol true enough, but then again iron man is actually gold/titanium alloy man, so i think i can get away with this one lol, unfortunately murphys law strikes again, printer blew up (literally) in the middle of printing the helmet a few days ago, so i have to wait until payday to buy a new one and get the helmet pepped, good thinkg i bought the silhouette cameo, since im short on pep time with the new job this speeds things up so much, hopefully ill have the helmet done by a week and a half from today, then its on to the chest for attempt no.5 (cant fugire out how to keep it from warping after resin, but before bondo)

Re: Iron-Panther just became a speed build
thanks to the new puppies (with a little help from "Jerry" my pvc stand) my build so far was most of the entire left side just needed the bicep and thigh, however now since jerry took a dive late in the 8th round (knocked over by my 80lb rottie) and my work was either trampled or chewed on irrepairably (imagine my shock when i got home from work this morning, PETA would have given me a medal for my level of restraint) i have to start all over, save for my right forearm, the entire costume will need to be rebuilt, so in order for this to make it to the premiere, it has now become a speed build, gonna pound out 2-3 pieces a day and spend the remaining time sealing and painting the pieces, good thing BP is black with a few gold accents or else i would never be able to get it painted in time, unfortunately this aso means ill have to rebuild it after the premiere, sincve i wont be able to get my hard shell coating on it and paint it in time so itll be sealed with PVA glue and plastidip temporarily, wish me luck, im off to buy rolls of foam (the guys at academy sports know me by name now, sigh) 15 days to go (leaving 2 days for just in case emergency time, and the night of the premiere)

Re: Iron-Panther just became a speed build
well finished the chest piece for the gemini, its sitting on top of the rebuilt ab section ready for skinning and sealing (it looks smoother and more closely to the overall look im going for with this build) and since i dont think my original chest piece will be done in time, i pepped this one up real quick, also rebuilt the original forearms i was planning to use before it became more of an iron man build, now its back on track as it was origingally intedned (guess the puppies didnt do such a bad thing after all) ill do the BP influenced iron man suit this summer, but right now im gonna work on this one as black panther upgraded by tony stark, think along the lines of kinda BP in transition from the original black panther outfit to the iron panther (some iron man parts ie: torso shins boots and helmet, but mostly just BP for now) since this is the only way ill have it anywhere near close enough to leave the house by premiere night, im gonna have to sacrifice for time management and get this one ready to go
