Re: Iron Patriot/War Machine 2.0 Build

@Darth: Thanks mate, much appreciated

So, I'm quickly coming up on Convention day and starting to freak out a little lol. today I finished up the gloves, they're now ready for PVA/Deadener and painting, and along with the shins, neck and hopefully thighs I will be doing those tomorrow. Since these pics I also have attached the handplates to the back of the gloves, and installed a round circle of foam ready for the electrics to slot it .

Looks great! What scale are you working in again?

Re: Iron Patriot/War Machine 2.0 Build

Most of my main pieces are in 384.763061, but obviously things like the helmet and hands, being different scales, are going to be set differently.

Re: Iron Patriot/War Machine 2.0 Build

Few more progress pics. I coated the shins, hands and neck pieces today, and tomorrow will start painting them. I also laid down the first of the blue, and I think it's a fantastic shade! Shoulders, helmet and forearms got their blue today, and tomorrow I'll lay down the red . The forearms took FOREVER to tape up...Almost as long as it took to build the bloody things...

One boot is finished, the second one is currently in the process of being put together, so I will have a matching pair by tomorrow

Nice pics man. Is the boot the boot itself, or does it go over a shoe and if it is a boot how durable can it be walking in? Also is that metalic blue? In the pic it looks simular to candy blue metal flake. Great work though...GM

The boots are based around cheap canvas slip on shoes I picked up from Kmart. The paint is Metallic Cyan .

I'm curious is the blue cyan a color changer? I have duplicolor metallic blue and it's a color changer. Candy colors also are known to change as well. I don't mean from blue to red or anything, but at certain times of day the color becomes more intense. Quite nice...GM

Not that I've noticed so far. Obviously it's a slightly different colour under artificial light when compared to natural sunlight, but it doesn't seem a different colour so much as just a lighter/darker shade. The red I'm using is a candy colour and I think it acts to offset the metallic'ness of the blue and silver portions.

Awesome, good luck with the painting mate, mine is becoming a major headache! As I posted in your thread I'm getting annoyed with pulling off the under colour while removing the masking from when I put on the over colours. I'm using an adhesion promoter to try and fix that, but it doesn't seem to be helping that much. It leads to a shoddy looking paint job and I just don't know what else to do to stop it. I'm using low tack painters tape, and even that is pulling the paint off...It's adding time to the build that I just don't have seeing as I aim to have the entire suit ready for this Sunday...

That being said, a quick progress update. I have all of the pieces finished and glue coated and coated in deadener except the main cannon part, I have affixed the base of the cannon permanently to the back of the upper torso, and will attach the main part of the cannon assembly to the base using chicago screws to aid in mobility, even though I probably won't have my movement system ready for this weekend, but I can at least have it all together and just stationary for the Con and work on it later. Here are a couple of pics. I have more done than this now, but I'll try and get some more pics later. And yes I know I need to put the red on the temples of the helmets faceplate I just haven't done it yet...

Re: Iron Patriot/War Machine 2.0 Build

So, today is the first day of the Con. I am planning on rocking my Cap America today and wearing the IP tomorrow for the second day, and I'm ALMOST done...After the con tonight I need to finish up the painting on the upper torso and clear coat the last few pieces I finished up last night, deadener and paint the main cannon assembly which I finished making last night, and do the electronics...I THINK I'll get it done!

The paint job isn't going to be exactly to specs as I don't have time to do certain 'detail' parts for example the silver and red bands that run under the arms on the upper torso, but I will add them before the premier. Right now I just want to get it to a 'workable' stage so I can wear it to the con .

Cross your fingers boys and girls, hopefully tomorrow night I'll have pics of me in the full suit at the Con

Re: Iron Patriot/War Machine 2.0 Build

The Con went swimmingly and I debuted the Patriot today! Here are a few of the better pics that have surfaced thus far. I might add a couple more if some really good ones appear in the next few days as everyone uploads their shots.

Oh, and I entered the Cosplay comp today and took out the Best Film/TV character .

Myself and the girls.

RPF'er Mapleman and I.

I found my older self!

Myself and a good friend of mine, and fellow RPF'er, Old Trenchy being photo-bombed by another friend of ours.
