Ladies can be Iron Man too (everything but the shoulders, pg 35)

Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

those look like they came out pretty good....looking forward to seeing more...
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

I wonder - How can I get those Pepakura files? I have looked all over the place for them and apparently I keep missing them! (then again, it may be not ALL over the place, if I haven´t found them).

Can anyone either send them via e-mail to me or PM me where to get them?

Thanks a bunch and keep up the amazing work, Laamberry!

Laamberry, sorry for chiming in late here; I've been away in hospital for a bit. Lovely work on the chestpiece pep. I wish I had half your talent! Thanks so much for keeping us all posted on your progress! (And I will try to find a pic of the old Sweetums costume I mentioned in an earlier post and see if I can get it scanned in; it's from my ancient pre-digital camera days.)

You are really just too nice <3 Really sorry to hear you were in the hospital though, I hope it wasn't anything serious!

Sent you a PM!

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about the grooves on the helmet? ;] thanks in advance
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

Draw the grooves in pencil to get them aligned correctly, then using a needle file or a sharp tool, scrape a small pilot groove. Then either work it with a needle file OR take a dremel with an appropriate tool and SLOWLY follow your pilot groove.

...then get into the groove and shake your groove thing (Please don't post pictures or videos of that or we might have a few more pages telling you how much we enjoyed that :p )

I wouldn't mind some flattery, but something tells me the average user here isn't going to give me any. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make due without. :( haha

And that helmet is looking seriously awesome! This is your first pep project, right? It's awesome. I'm glad you have the patience to see this through. That's what kills most people with Pep, the paper model makes you think you're so close, when really your work is only just beginning.

Keep up the awesome work!

Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

Beast cake, happy birthday, and nicely done with the bondo, looks good so far.
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

Great cake! You're 19? I'm so freakin' ancient! I thought I was old when a Marine checked in to my Company in GTMO. He was born the year I enlisted 1978.

Are you going with standard colors or will you use something else? Great work!

I love you <3 will that be enough?
Yeah, it's my first project with this sort of stuff all together :]] and god knows it takes forever but I'm determined to see it through >:[

lol yeah i'm just a kid really, but hey age is just a number right?
And yes, I'm going to stick to standard colors
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

Haha, It might actually be too much, my instincts are telling me to ask you to marry me (Don't worry, I'm only 23 haha). But I should be able to fight that instinct long enough to see how awesomely this project comes out.

How did you do the details around the chin? It doesn't seem like you need our help with detailing at all by the look of those lines, they look great.

It was actually fairly tedious and they still need a good bit of clean-up.See, my hands are a bit too small to hold the dremel properly so my drilling was too shaky. So I filled the cuts with bondo and stuck a piece of sheet plastic in the groove. Once the bondo cures you just pop the plastic out and voila! a perfect line is left there in it's stead :]
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

Haha, you guys make me feel like a kid, you know that? 17 -sigh-

really?? Man I feel the same as I did when I was 17...they're practically the same thing :lol so keep your chin up

speaking of age, this THREAD is making me feel old. I was just looking at the first page and that seems like ages ago...lol I look funny with blonde hair instead of black

oh and TheNickFox. I just saw a video of you rapping on youtube and


I Do.

Hahaha, yea, I know what you mean, if I look back at pictures of my pepakura projects on the 405th, I feel like it was years and years ago.
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

...Alright but we have to wear complete Iron Man suits (minus helmets) instead of the normal tux and gown. If that's okay with you, consider us E-gaged. haha

SCORE. my night is complete.
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (in-progress helmet pg 10)

Hahaha you guys are nuts. Nick, I best be invited to this awesome wedding, dude.

Awesome work so this so far. I need to get back to pepping mine too.

Laamberry, awesome cake, belated happy b-day ;)

You might want to look into a flexible extension like this one here for your dremel:

Dremel 225 Flex-Shaft


So I filled the cuts with bondo and stuck a piece of sheet plastic in the groove. Once the bondo cures you just pop the plastic out and voila! a perfect line is left there in it's stead :]

A perfect line and a prime example of brainsssss over brawns :lol:lol:lol
 
Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (kinda pic heavy)

SCORE. my night is complete.

From having you as a YouTube stalker to future Iron Man-Armored wife all in the same night, I'd say my night is fairly complete as well.

And, WarMachine, call me old fashioned but the lady should be in charge of the planning, so be nice to her and maybe she'll include you on the guest list. :lol:

...This may be the most ridiculous tangent to come of this entire thread...and that's saying a lot.
