The arc corrected, it would be a good idea to replace the old one on the front page, this way I'm sure people get the right one.
You can put the eyes too, but it's not print and play exactly. Although it's possible to simply print them, cut the lenses and paint them in red if you don't care about the glowing effect.

What you can do, which I have been doing recently and it's working great, is go to a hardware store and buy some interior/exterior multi-purpose 100% Acrylic adhesive caulk to fill in the gaps and imperfections before you move on to the next step as far as sealing the foam (which I already had my pieces coated in plasti dip and it still will work on sealed foam too). It bonds, fills, and seals and it's flexible. It's paintable of course too :thumbsup. You can buy the squeeze tube kind and its cleans up easy with warm water. Just use your fingers to get in the gaps and wipe away the excess with a towel and warm water. I do have one caution, for those who are using plasti dip to seal your foam, use the spray can and not the brush on method on the caulked area (after the spray dries, then use can brush or spray it for more coats) because I noticed that the brush on plasti dip is strong enough to start removing the caulk (maybe it wasn't completely cured but that's what happened in my experience). Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip, i will try that. Is this what you are talking about

I didn't forget about the cannon motorization information and templates, still working on them! :lol It's a bit of a challenge to get all of the mechanics to fit in the new arm, but no exterior sizing modifications should be needed to fit the assemblies into the base, arm and cannon.

I'm also trying to keep as many parts as possible available off-the-shelf, so anyone can put this together with relatively few tools. This puts the cost up a little, but it's quality stuff and can be used at least for a starting point. Anyways, I'll post when I have things done.

Can't wait for your new stuff Jackie! :thumbsup

I haven't looked at the gun armature much. If I were planning on putting the old minigun (and my missile pod) onto the armature - static, no motion or anything - how much of a pain in the ass do you think that would be?

Nice man, cant wait to see what you come up with. This is going to be one sweet addition to the suit. :thumbsup

hey guys, last night i finished my forearm, and i scaled it for someone 5' 9". i believe either 395 or 392. and it came out nice. the only thing ive noticed is that there is about an inch or two of space between my arm and the main forarm and the upper cuff. the length is good, but its very large. I figured this is just space for padding and electronics, but i wanted to check before i moved on. is this extra space normal, or should i go back and redo it to make it smaller. I can post a picture when i get home tonight if that helps. Thanks guys

I'm 5'9" also and been using 392 to scale all my body parts. I also thought about redoing the arms at first (because they seemed large) but the scale seems proportionally accurate when I compare it to the pics from the movie. War machine has always had bigger arms than the iron man suit. If you want to rescale it to make it more suitable for wearing and fitment, I would say go for it but don't go too far from the suggested scale size. Let us know if resizing it a little smaller worked out better or not if you go that route.

Thanks for your insight. I think i am going to do the bicep and see how they look together before i decide to rescale

Very little pain. After the pep is finished, you could install some bolts (metal,nylon,whatever) at the pivot points, position it exactly how you want it and tighten things up a little. The pep parts could just be glued together with adhesive as well (a little shimming too). The assembly can be attached to the suit via a bolt and small hole in the suit track.
This will all work fine for paper/fiberglass finishing; If the cannon is built from foam, the cannon would probably need to be made rigid (so it doesn't flop around).

Nice man, cant wait to see what you come up with. This is going to be one sweet addition to the suit. :thumbsup

I hope so. Keeping the weight down has been a blast :behave

No I won't be making any of it out of foam. My initial brainstorming is to make the armature out of resined foamboard or something, and make a custom motor shroud pep for the minigun, and figure out... something for the missile pod mount. I may modify the IM2 War Machine motor shroud, but it needs to sit flat against where the armature is. I already have the barrel parts, they're PVC and cast resin.

So this is a good size, or too big? I'm kind of a noob so I want to check before I move on

IronShwarma2754 and R11no- Awesome thanks for the help :)

Teragon- Great ill fix it right now :)

Irongatsu- Cool! Are you in the filler stage already? It looks like its coming together nicely :thumbsup

IronLeoMan- Have you tried the website teragon suggested (sculpeto.com)? Im not too sure weather or not the prices are similar to shapeways or not but you could try to upload different stuff and compare prices :thumbsup

THE DARK KN1GHT- I think it looks to be a pretty good size. As Tvo said, War Machines arms are meant to be pretty big on the arms, and if you look at the picture of the IP, the forearms are pretty big on the suit as well :)

I would say the size looks good to me. I also just did my upper and lower arm a week back , i postet a picture on page 59 of the Thread . Mine is scaled on 378 and i am 1,73 (had to scale it shorter because of my arm lenght )
