I think we'll have the answer to this tomorrow (I hope). Seems unlikely that they'd have a shot available like that of a scene-specific helmet that could be spotted as different. Then again, (and bear with me), The Hot Toys War Machine looks identical in every way to the Iron Patriot (except for the paint scheme), so you'd assume it is a repaint. Then I came across this while remodeling the cannon:
Those are two different fittings on an otherwise identical assembly, WM has a retainer-nut style while IP just has two bolts (fyi I left this piece removable in my model just in case :rolleyes) So if that's different, what else is? I understand that I'm assuming the Hot Toys WM is accurate and that the WM and IP are identical except for paint jobs. But if I'm right, then one of these pictures is out of whack for some reason. Sorry for my CSI-style rant, but you can imagine how much this bothered me when I remodeled the arm :behave

isnt that the left hand side on the toy and the right on the picture meaning where looking at two different sides of the cannon ?

Re: Jackieisrockin's IM3 Iron Patriot Pepakura Files! V2 Shoulder Cannon added
Nope. The cannon is oriented over the other shoulder in this picture, but still configured the same. The opposite side of the pivot plate (can't see it here) is a different plate, and it's identical on both of these cannons. The detail on the Millenium-Falcon-shaped plate is the only difference that showed. Good eye, though. :thumbsup

Not sure where i got that from either, lol, maybe i scaled it and then saved it by accident or something, Thanks for the measurements. :thumbsup
Also, to anyone who is looking for a good file converter for .obj to .stl for example, here is one that i found.

It was worth me double checking anyways, to make sure the files are consistent. :thumbsup
I think I mentioned this before, but the reason I brought up the 393.5 scale before, that's the size that the servo mounts and drives will fit into the cannon without modification.

Re: Jackieisrockin's IM3 Iron Patriot Pepakura Files! V2 Shoulder Cannon added
Hi guys
I have been cutting and assembling the lower torso the whole afternoon till now (midnight) . Once again my scale is off . I am average build and 1.73 high . I scaled the lower torso 395 which is about 31 cm wide on the smallest section . I need approx 36 cm wide which equates to a scale of approx 465 . But my dilemma is then my upper and lower torso would become 10 cm too high . I don't think I am oddly shaped . Any guys that have my width and hight . That can tell me what their experience was and what scale they used . How do I compensate the extra hight ? ( 10cm extra seems too much to compensate and most probably will look stupid ) . My arms are scaled 378 and fit like a glove . I am getting really frustrated any help is highly apprechiated

Where are you measuring on yourself for this 36cm width?

Hey guys, i'm completely new to this whole process, and have been working on the War Machine outfit from Iron man 2. I really love the new look of War machine.
I just have a question, since these files are scaled for a person who is 6 feet, How do I downscale it for myself? I'm 5'9, 155lbs. I was using Stealths old war machine foam files, but these ones are awesome.
Should I just decrease the size by 10-20%? Stealths shoulder pieces were justtt right in terms of size.

Check the first post. These files are at a default of 425, which is about 6'8", not 6'. Stealth's scale (or anyone elses for that matter) are determined by the modeler for the suit, there isn't an 'industry standard' (love saying that). My scale at 6'2" is 393.5, I know that other people were building at 5'7 and 5'9 but I don't know what their scales were. Good luck.

BUT I contacted Biggeek, the maker of my IP helmet, to see if I can get the outline of the eyes from his model, to ensure perfect fit and right curves ! Hope he accepts to help, but if he doesn't I'll work something out.
It will have to be cast in a red tinted transparent resin I think, because neither Sculpteo nor Shapeways offer a red translucid material. So regular material, then mold and cast this time.
It finally sunk in, now I get what you meant : 3D printed eyes outline in red translucid material to be place in front of white lenses, like the red outer part of my reactor ? That's a wonderful idea, I just gave it a shot in blender, but without a helmet in my possession I'm not sure I can get the curves right.

Im not sure if it applies here but when i built my WM2 i thought the lower torso was to big for me or two long..but then i realized that it needs h to get cut and some of it goes into the top torso..maybe it's like that here..i don't know.i haven't yet started on this one yet so I'm not sure..

I'm pretty sure Ponoko has translucent reds in acrylic, but I think that is limited to 2d cutting and I don't know if there's any flexibility to it.

Re: Jackieisrockin's IM3 Iron Patriot Pepakura Files! V2 Shoulder Cannon added
Haha, I had to look it up. The Ponoko site itself says that acrylic is about as stiff as plastics go. I do know that you can heat-form it to shape, although I don't think I've ever tried to. I have no idea if Teragon can get away with a 2 dimensional insert, probably not.

Well, wait. If you guys are going to mold and cast something, the master object's colors and materials don't matter. Just whatever you're casting with. Smoothon makes clear and translucent materials that you can add color to. So that might be an option.
