NOT A NORMAL IRONMAN COSPLAY (mcm london 2017

[timetotom]

Hi there folks ...long time lurker here posting my first thread for my cosplay I want to do for mcm London this October (2017). As I said in the title its not gonna be a standard ironman cosplay I'm going for the Tony with a glove look ,however its gonna be brought to life from my own art style which is rather cartoony. I'm not 100% on all the details of the build atm ...i know the rough route I want to go down and will explain in the next post when I have started building. Will be getting the first bout of supplies tomorrow (fingers crossed) in the meantime though I would love to hear your ideas on how to realise the design which I should hopefully have posted below

Thanks for reading folks

Hi guys as predicted I got the foam and a few other bits of hardware ...but as with all things I guess, not everything has gone to plan I am now not doing puppeteerable fingers but am instead doing a CO2 pressure stream (?) but that's to come later ....this is my progress so far



Tomorrow I'm going to spray the whole thing black and then start applying chrome coloured cards in the patterns and panels from my original post in the design page ... fingers crossed it should all go to plan

Cheers folks

Okay so today I've painted the whole thing black and cut 90% of the coloured panels ... however after doing some tests last night I found the most reliable way to stick the panels to the foam is by first applying a layer of pva ,allowing that to dry overnight and then gluing the panel down and taping the edges with masking tape ,which does make for and awkward job but a more reliable finish . So I've given the whole glove a layer of pva and letting that now dry over night ....hopefully I can get the panels glued on tomorrow and have another update .... until then
Cheers folks
