Check out the last pic, it shows a good place to trim the silver piece.

pm sent!

I dont wanna rain on anyone parade,nor throw their thread of topic, but reading this made me laugh.... Really better than master Le... hmm, if i remember correctly he's the reason everone is trying to do this style and method. Its like in Iron man 2 when the government is trying to take tony stark's iron man weapon away and tony shows everyone how far away everyone is from recreating what he's done. Its good but more hammertech good.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it take it your opinion differs from others, thats fine, this is america as far as i know it. on your comment about Anthony being the "reason for this style and method" i had never seen any of anthony's suits before joining this site, which was the same time that i was sent a link on facebook to Fett's thread. as far as i know anthony didn't invent using poprivets to peice together armor, there is a thread older than any of his stuff out there.. I only first saw anthony's mark v (or any of his suits for that matter) after i was already underway on this build. in saying that anthony's work on all his suits is inspiring, he does GREAT work. am i striving to make a better suit that him?? your damn right! phantomprophet i respect your opinions, feedback and your sculpting skills. your helmets look great on le's suits. :thumbsup

but you did just that

no rain here. just hot texas sun:)

Thats pretty rude. Wheres YOUR armor at? :thumbsdown
Also, how is someone making armor that looks great and showing how to do it every step of the way better than saying, "oh hey! Look what I got!."

hey have you hows your helmet coming along? it was looking pretty good last time i saw it on the ol FB (trying to get the tread back on track)

Back on topic, this build is really shaping up! I think it could stand from a little weathering around the edges of all the little pieces, either a little silver or a little black just to help make the individual pieces pop.

ahhh yes! wish i had these pic when i was making the torso. i started with the screen shots from the trailer, then you sent me that link to making of pic. the plating is easier to see in some of these. especially the legs!:)

thanks man, i still want to add some more plating on the upper back and front area by the tracks. i need to get caught up on my "hunny do" list here at the house. on the pics of the legs i started weathering it a lil bit with some matt black spray paint but alas i ran out.:( for sure going to redo the helmet and add more weathering to the entire suit. i prefer the fresh outta battle look myself.:)

Awesome, good to hear, this suit lends itself well to keep adding pieces on top to add extra detail. Not sure if your familiar with dry brushing but it works great for weathering, I did it to my master chief costume and it really gives the armor a nice battle worn look.

Super easy, just spray paint silver/chrome on to a paint brush and do quick strokes perpendicular to the armor edges, that way just the edges pick up the silver and it gives it an awesome worn metal look.

Helmet still looks the same, its got primer now and I need to go back and fill in very tiny places. Its either been 1000000 degrees here or raining, so I havent has the urge to go outside in a while lol. WOrking on the mkv pep right now. still on the faceplate. Ive been slacking. Lol
 
Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V with pics 07/10/10 (WIP portion is done)

So I'm thinking you need to take all the pieces of leftover trash can and make a suitcase to go along with the suit :love

Looks great man, can't wait to see it totally done!

thanks! that would be an awesome way to use the rest of the cans. i think there is a pepakura file i could use as templates... i think i saw it on the 405th. :) now i have a new side project. :thumbsup

Dungbeetle posted his here. Looks good.
 
Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V with pics 07/10/10 (WIP portion is done)

its a pretty cool model.

yea it is! i pulled it off dungbeetles blog, looks very cool.

i did how ever trim the track section yesterday and it's looking alot better. i cant post any pics right now because my flickr acct is maxed for the month. should be adding extra plates here soon and ordering the Zentai suit in a couple weeks.:thumbsup
 
Re: quakevirus's Iron Man Mark V with pics 07/10/10 (WIP portion is done)

ok trimmed the tracks making them abit slimmer.also where the masking tape is, i plan to cut there, making the tracks not as long. also i added some 1/8 inch ( i think) rubbery type material. i have no idea what this material is, because i literally found it in a drainage ditch by my house. when i found it, it looked like a brand new gasket for some sorta farm use. will be adding more plastic plates to various areas under the tracks next to the arc to fill in that big silver area...

There ya go! that will look great! I have an idea though, hold on ill photoshop what Im thinking.
actually, Ill jsut try to explain it, what if instead of trimming the length of the track piece, just trim the top in a circular shape so that the piece is under your arm, that would also cover up[ more area and have pretty much the same look youre going for.
