Ironmaided's IM Foam Works [UPDATES]

[ironmaided]

My workshop after a devastating Typhoon last Tuesday evening - Wednesday morning. This is the reason why I can't post anything yet. Thankfully me and my family is ok. Some of the stuffs I'm working on had been damaged but it will be an easy fix. And about the roof, well currently we are working to fix it, thats not the only damaged part of our house/workshop so It will take time for us to get things the way they used to be. The internet connection isn't stable yet but I'm updating the thread with a little off-topic post about what happened days ago.

More pictures of my devastated workshop.

Damaged roof.

And unlimited supply of water. :facepalm

 

[Dadatown]

wow - sorry to hear that - hope you and your family are ok

 

[laellee]

...Can't say it enough, wish the best for you. I know cleanup is the worst part, because that's when you see the problems...

 

[ANBUspidey]

Glad to hear you and the family are okay man

 

[BGefrich]

I'm gad you are okay. Hope you get back up on your feet soon.

 

[Psicorp7]

YKES! Glad everyone is safe. Wish you well on the repairs and getting back to normal.

Such a shame it takes so much work to get back to where you were before the storm.

I haven't updated any of my personal build threads so I decided tonight that I need to b.u.m.p. my thread :lol with a little teaser of my new personal projects, some of these are side projects for me not to get burnt out of my current commission suits (2 Mark 42's left) that needs to be finished this 4th week of August (time management issues again)

So with no further delays. . .here's the teaser. . .yup this is not a Mark 42/43 suit

I still haven't decided if I'll go on with the Silver Centurion colors or the Blue Steel colors. . .

More updates soon

 

[laellee]

Nice work, very clean and detailed as always :thumbsup Either color scheme I think would look great on that, IMO

 

[ironmaided]

I'm joining the Mark 43 bandwagon :lol

How about two Mark 43's? Rushed built these two chest piece earlier tonight. . .

Mark 43 Torsos Done

I'll be using both red and blue colored foam to all of my builds now.

ironmaided Im new to the foam building of armor, I love you work and was wondering what type of foam it is you use and where you order it from?

@ironmaided Im new to the foam building of armor, I love your work and was wondering what type of foam it is you use and where you order it from?

Thanks for the kind words, I bought my foam from a local supplier/dealer, so I really can't help you on where you can get your foam. I think you can search ebay or google on where to buy foam in your area

 

[kimiera4775]

ironmaided , thanks I believe I have found a good supply source, but I was also wondering what thickness of foam do you use on your builds?

 

[ironmaided]

Hi iron maiden you are awesome!, I have started building the mark 42 suit and I am missing the abs
and neck from your files , can you please direct me to them thankyou!

Hey! Sorry for the late response, are those helagak's files? unfortunately I took my unfold of the abs and the neck because of the scale inconsistency to the ones unfolded by helagak so I guess you should get those parts on helagak's mark 42 file thread :thumbsup Good looking Mark 42 chest/back also man :thumbsup

@ironmaided , thanks I believe I have found a good supply source, but I was also wondering what thickness of foam do you use on your builds?

Sorry for the late response, I'm using 6mm thick foam on all of my builds, I never use thinner foam for details and stuff, although I use 2mm foam for the fingers.

----------

I've been sooo busy again for the past weeks, making alot of modifications on alot of projects that I need to finish asap, I won't post progress pictures now but I'm currently making mods on a Mark 42 suit and fiberglassed helmet (motorized) and also painting a Mark 42 suit (still haven't finished due to bad weather conditions)

Also, whenever I get any free time, I work on these guys.

Mark 42/43 Full suit builds, I've already built the upper parts, I just need to build the arms, legs and the cod pieces, I haven't decided yet on the helmets though,

I'm having a dilemma on what paint scheme to be used. I honestly like the Mark 43, but the fact that I don't want to guess on what the paint job looks like on the back of the Mark 43 :facepalm because I don't know if there's already a picture of the back of the Mark 43.

Anyway, I'll try to update the thread with my latest progress on the projects that I'm building. Thanks for viewing.

 

[ironmaided]

Still busy building stuffs almost 24/7 I had deadlines so I'm working hard (alone) on these suits,

I'll just leave this here. . .

 

[Rico]

Awesome work man! Looking forward to seeing more pics.

 

[MiddleFinger]

Those are looking really awesome! Though I'd like to see the Centurion finished too!

 

[ironmaided]

More updates on the other suits soon. . . at a little teaser for a side project. . .

Off topic post,, I just wanted to leave this proof of shipping of a mark 17 costume (see http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=202109&p=3319498&viewfull=1#post3319498)

I shipped it last July 20, 2014, and until now, it hasn't arrived to its destination. This is an urgent matter so I decided to post this here. I'm on the process of confirming where the heck it is right now.

This is the first time I encountered this kind of situation. As you can see, I shipped a suit (Mark 5) last june and arrived safely, I also shipped last week two Mark 42's, one is scheduled to arrive at mid october and one is already on its owner's door step.
