OKIE Iron Man MK VI (10/25 FINISHED )

Re: OKIE Iron Man MK VI (Update 10/19 EYES AND ARC)

Hey RPF members,

I have nearly everything ready and painted, but I have a question for everyone. At the moment the suit looks pristine, and I'm not sure if I should give it that weathered battle damaged look. At times I think I should, and my wife thinks why would you want to ruin what you have now...

The video I attatched is from Adam of the 405th, and his tutorial on weathering is pretty cool! If I was to weather mine, I would use some of his techniques.


SO.....................

A. KEEP IT PRISTINE (NEW LOOKING)

or..........

B. WEATHER/ BATTLE DAMAGE

Gonna have to go with the weathered look vote for me, it makes the suit look as if it is really made fom metal and has seen some battle action! :love

Derick, how did you attach the supports to the pieces? I'm trying to attached the supports to the back and chest pieces I pep'd so I can resin them and right now they're kinda ghetto rigged with tape. Not very stable.

For most of the pieces I had to make tabs to attach the braces to them. I looked at the piece on pepakura viewer to find the exact location on the piece and attached the tab and brace there.

FYI on the chest and back, its a good idea to attach the pieces together before resining to make sure they line up! I had to redo the chest because it didn't line up with the back. Good luck with your build, I will be following!


On another note.

All LED's are up and running
Weathered all the armor

Took it for a 10 min spin run yesterday!
Movement was like walking in a body cast, but I'll power through it for halloween with the help of some of some certain beverages???

Well I may just do that after I fix a few things on the suit.

-Need to fix the spine length (to long for my shorter torso)
-Need to fix the upper thigh extension area ( gonna try and paint the undersuit to match)
- Other comfort areas


Here's a photo that my neighbor took, its the only one I got at the moment but after I fix everything I'll be sure to take more photos

Quick question... How/where did you attach the shoulder bells? To the chest/back pieces?
