Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

We're replacing the clutch in one of the cars and it's taking up the entire garage. This wouldn't be a problem if this wouldn't be the 3rd weekend in a row that it's been sitting in there, and I have nowhere else to do fiberglass and bondo work.

I'm tweeking the files as we speak so I can cut them on my CNC once programmed it will take 30 min or so to cut. I just have to talk my wife into wrapping me up with duct tape tonight!!! Wow that sounds bad doesn't it.
Thanks for the advice johnny that's exactly what I'll do LET'S GET BUILDING

Hey Mactonto as a fellow cnc junkey I was just curious if you are intending to do a negative mold and fiberglass the inside or create a positive for some other method?

For now I'll just cut the foam pc's 2D and build it the same as if I used templates. If the scale is good I'll cut a 3D negative.

its gonna be fun getting the decals designed and printed up.
i might start on that. Would be a great idea to get decals printed on those water slide off sheets (dunno what they're called) that we used to use on plastic model cars. Would be easy to print onto and cut out, and water slide onto our builds. Then clear coat over.

edit: its apparently inkjet water slide decal paper

mactonto and Spydwar- That would just be awesome to have and see this (or anything else) CNC'd. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out

torx- thanks for those pics they will help a lot . And i agree with you 100% about the decals. This new WM has a bunch of tiny tiny letters and decals all over the place :confused

Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

Oh wait, now I am getting more confused.
I thought the dark grey colored is war machine, then it got stolen and repainted to red, white and blue and becoming iron patriot.
But the name is still Rhodes in the RWB scheme?

Also the extended gun on torx picture (one with MK8) is on the right side and longer, where's before it was on the left side and shorter (the one with DANGER sticker)?

concept art, or the base image has been mirrored before details and signing off.
here, i flipped it. lol

Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

IMIM2 - Rhodes pilots the suit, whether they call it War Machine, Iron Patriot, neither or both. The name they have written on the chest is like how they will put a pilot's name and callsign on a plane's cockpit. Same with the rest of the warning labels and tail numbers actually. The "FF" is another base code like "ED" was; ED is the Edwards base code, I forget what FF is but you can look it up easy enough.

Hopefully more details of the cannon soon; not enough to move forward with the buck for vacuum forming

There's like a slide slot on the back of the wm, much like the previous one. I think it can move freely from left to right to middle using that.

Yep, arm assembly does travel along the horseshoe track across the shoulder blades. When 'stowed' it's just sitting low in the track and pivoted back out of the way.

Heres a set photo showing the back of the suit with the gun on the bottom of the gun track.

It seems like the suit designers specifically made the gun removable as well. If you look closely in this pic (WM is on the left), the gun is completely off of the suit altogether

Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

Hey Jackie a quick question. The upper torso i detecting a missing detail on the file. I had noticed after i cut the foam and laid it out. Above the arc on both sides there is to be an impression - if thats what you call it, running from about 2 inches above the arc up tob the shoulder piece. Am i missing a piece? Or is that some thing you missed. I'm not sure, anyway i am going to modify to match... GM

 

[jackieisrockin]

Re: Jackieisrockin's Iron Patriot (IM3) Pepakura Files!

Torx- no rush at all i completely understand . Yes it should be finished by then. In fact it SHOULD be finished by the end of the week ill keep you guys posted

And murdoch- im sorry but im not sure what piece you're talking about. If you could upload some pics, i think i could help ya out
