Ironman Mark VII suit progress

[tommyb345]

Looking good! :thumbsup I see you've gotten a lot of progress done. (Lot more than me even)

Just a heads up: The flaps on the calf/shins are supposed to be flush with the sides of the leg. See here--> View attachment 213224
I know you're using the (somewhat) thicker EVA foam, so you could possibly carve a flap out of the leg. Or you can do whatever you'd like. It's your build.

Yeah I know, thanks for the info, and the pic, I could have made it that way. At first I wasn't going to make the flaps at all and just to keep it flush. But I had those pieces and figured I'd put them on anyway

Right boot done.

Nice idea with the boots. Curious to see the tread pattern, as well as whatever brand/model they are. Any prep to the boots before painting them?

I used metropolitan nu-life paint on them that's meant for vinyl, leather and plastics. Mainly to give it a red sole.

I wanted to have my boots practical and look good as well.

 

[tommyb345]

Boots done! It's finally time to start preparing the suit for some color!

Currently applying the 12 layers of tacky glue/water mix to seal the foam of my suit. Will post pics when done this whole process. Then it will be time to add 3 layers of plasti dip spray.

Shiny sheen after 7 coats of tacky glue/water mix. 5 more coats to go for the arms, shoulders, hands, and feet. Then onto the rest.
