its best to buy various thicknesses of foam and just work from there.
i like to mix and match foam thickness on every part. but its up to you to experiment.

so far, i've used 10mm(gray)/6mm(black) on my upper and lower torso. 6mm(black)/3mm(blue) on my shoulders, and 6mm(red) for my biceps with 3mm(blue) side pieces.

(i gotta smooth the edges of glue) but you can see its best to mix and match.

Thanks for the info guys! Any ideas on where to get the foam type cheap?

Great answer Ladman. I also think that point-to-point description with pic is in the middle of page 18?

thanks laelleethumbsup

Torx, nice work on the shoulder.

I just found out from a friend of mine on FB that i was in a video talking about PAX East where i wore my IP suit. Go to 1:35 on the video and you will see them talking about me for a few.

Not sure if it was brought up but i found this in Walmart not in the hardware but in the front of the store...maybe it can help you sealing for you foam guys/girls..

if i recall the commercial for that, it would leave a rubberized texture on the foam like a rhino liner in the bed of a truck. but it is worth a try anyway. Nice find

AVOID FLEXSEAL LIKE THE PLAGUE. It goes on WAY to thin and when it dries, it leaves a bumpy texture like IronLeoMan said.

i would just stick to whatever doc is using in his sealing/painting methods, lol.

LOL, neither am I. I learned this from personal experience. Just wanted to warn other people away from making the same mistake I did.

anybody got some updates? i need some motivation lol

Re: Jackieisrockin's IM3 Iron Patriot Pepakura Files! Check out page 66!

not any pictures yet, but i have started to make the under suit for the armor. when i wore mine at PAX i was not happy with the way that the armor was sitting on me. So i decided to make an entire exoskeleton so to speak like the one you see Tony making in the first Iron Man. I just finished a moc up of the flight stabilizer for the arms. i will get some pictures tonight and post them.

Re: Jackieisrockin's IM3 Iron Patriot Pepakura Files! Check out page 66!

awesome because i was def thinking about the same, especially around the underarms, fabbing a circular rotator thingie, which reminds me of the rotator piece on the robots of robot combat league.

lol, i love that show!!

Ok, here is a video of me testing my prototype flight stabilizer for the armor to sit on. i think it will work nicely, and with it being made out of foam, it is very light.
