Kid size ironman mark 6 suit finished [pic heavy]

[ironmaided]

hey mates, it's me again

so making the thread introduction short, my friend asked me to build his niece a ironman mark 6 suit out of foam, it's tricky since it's my first time building a suit smaller than me and designed for a 7 year old kid.

i'm using jfcustom's unfolds here with a little modifications by myself,

not rushing this though, dead line will be 1st week of july. any help from you guys are really much appreciated.

painting methods i'm using here will be conventional (most common here in our country):
4-5 layers of acrylic emulsion
gray primer
metalic red
copper gold (the same as my mark 42 v2 paintjob for metalic finish)

ok so let's get started

Re: ironman for a 7 year old kid

the torso without the brace/neckpiece yet, i'm planning to add that later

and the ab piece. . .so far so good i think,

sorry for the lack of updates on this build thread. . .i've been busy building it and help jackieisrockin on his mark 42 pdf conversion (still not finished) but i manage to take some shots of this suit and thank God i finished the suit last night

on this picture i manage to paint some main parts except for the abs and the right shin and the boots, also i haven't painted the gold parts on the back yet because it was raining that day but so far i love the metallic finish of the suit

the helmet (all foam), the arms, the chest with the silver lining detail on the RT, and the hand plates unpainted

------------------AND THE NEXT DAY I MANAGED TO PAINT ALL OF THE PARTS AND HERE'S WHAT I'VE GOT! SUIT FINISHED! YAY!---------

all parts complete and painted. . .i planned to use chrome silver paint on the silver details on the biceps and the legs but my friend declines since he just want a simple suit for his kid

close up shots. . i love how the red paint turns out

i didn't light up the suit since my friend is a pro with electronics so he'll just build them i'll try to get some pictures of the suit in action maybe next week. . .

thanks for viewing! :cheers
