My Iron man MK41 bones build

[Danlex9]

As of last night I have a head to toe completed suit. It is now ready for heat treatment and paint. Here is me talking about it a bit before I continue the project. Enjoy and grab some snacks, this video is 30 min long. Ps: Sorry for turning my face into the mic, my bad.

Over the next 14 days I will be finalizing each piece. Neck needs a little clean up but head and neck are done. Boots and knees should be done later tonight.

They are gear pieces for sides of the knees.

First off, Bones is by far my favorite looking iron man suit! Don't get me wrong Tony Stark does design some pretty nifty iron man suits, but the black and the gold really do it for me. This whole build and your craftsman ship is simply amazing man, seriously! Is this all EVA Foam, I have to start playing with this stuff for my V2 DOTM MEGATON COSTUME! Please forgive me for getting off topic. Back to this FANTASTIC build, seeing the shoulder blade parts I have to say adding the rivets to the foam so that they move is a genius idea! I shall keep this in mind for Megatron. Paint job looks great! If I had a good amount of money I'd buy this costume from you before you could get to wear it! I want it so BADD!!!! Again, excellent job and this is one epic build man.

Good work man. Looks great.

Started the chest, nearly done.

Here's the test footage of the shoulder working.

Finished the chest, built a magnet harness that will be attached to the rest of the suit and make it easier to change batteries in arc and make it easier to put suit on.

Just added up some numbers for the project at this stage.
Current number of parts: 649
With more to make for the arms and legs but I don't think I'll break the seven hundred mark.
Total hours invested so far: 267
Even though I haven't been post here since the beginning I actually started this project October 23rd, 2016 after a few week break from NYCC2016.
feels like I will break the three hundred mark on time investment. We'll see.

And thanks to everyone complimenting and checking this thread out, I'm glad you are enjoying my build.

Finishing up the torso had to make so more pieces, so an update to the last post. I'm now at 697 pieces and I most likely still need to add some to arms and legs. Anyway the torso is now completely wearable and I can put it on all by myself.

 

[Danlex9]

Finished the thighs, biceps, and wrists. Next: gloves, forearms and shins.

 

[Danlex9]

Sorry, haven't post anything in the last few days because I've been prepping the finger parts that I 3D printed for the gloves. I've done 4 or 5 coats of acetone on the ABS prints to smooth them. Doing this by brushing it on because the rice cooker I have for doing acetone vaporizing is too small for all the pieces, I'd only be able to do two fingers at a time and the insides don't really need to be smoothed so brush is working just fine. I should be able to get those painted black today and the first coat of my bronze paint on all the base finger sections. All the other hand parts are ready to go. Pics soon.

Wow, I don't know how I haven't seen this thread earlier! This is absolutely beautiful work and I definitely will be sure to keep checking in on the process!

 

[Danlex9]

Shins and forearms are done, all that remains are the gloves and throwing the lights in the eyes. Full body pic coming soon.
