Noob project - Skinny Iron Man Mk.4 (First craft EVER)

[Dment]

Hi to all!

I've been lurking for a long time drooling over your amazing works dreaming of doing one myself. But it wasn't until i saw STEALH youtube tutorials that i decided to give it a go.

So first of all i'd like to thank ALL of you for your hard work and your tips , and special thanks to ROBO3867 for his files and STEALTH for his tutorials and foam edited templates.

I've seen some bulked IM out there so my goal is to make one that's tight.

As for my contribution for this amazing forum i'll be testin a new foam sealing material. i've purchased some fiberglass reinforced putty on IKEA. So far there's no cracking when bending, and the foam rips before i can peel it, so i keep all of you posted on this.

I know that a thread must have pics, so for now...

This is me fooling around with paper testing if scaling was right, thankfully i didn't start with the helmet....:behave

And yes, it is hanging from my desk lamp (remember when i say that the lamp made it's contribution aswell)

One last thing, i'm from Spain and my english level isn't as good as i'd like it to be.... so please, bear with me.

I'm waiting for your replies and again, thank you.

Jose

Ok, i started with the biceps. They're not done yet as i'm going to put a line of foam inside to straight them up and close de gaps that are open. But all of this will be done later in a "detail phase" before painting. For now i'm gonna start the shoulders.

Any More updates on this? I'll be interested in seeing another Slim Fitting MKIV Suit

My one is quite slim fitting if you've not seen it. I think it definately adds an edge to the armor

Note to the OP about the biceps, there are supposed to be small gaps between the pieces of the bicep 'muscle'. You can see what I mean on my finished suit.

I am very impressed with your passion for creativity!
