That looks really great, really liking how the eyes turned out. Where are you going to be able to see from?

Most impressive,sir! My conern for you would be the heat that can build up rapidly with this on your head, let alone an entire suit made of foam. Will the mouth be articulated in some fashion to let fresh air in and the warmed air from your body temperature out as you breath? I ask because I've experienced some major discomfort (Suffering for the art, as it were.) as I had worn helmets or enclosed masks like this and the heat increased with every breath without any ventilation.

Ya great Idea I took your comment into consideration when I changed the design to open mouth, thanks for the heads up !

Looks great so far. I think the 1 thing I would change is the brow. I would have it taper a tad more as it goes back.

I do agree that in most versions it does taper, but in the reference I found its a little larger, but thankyou for the crit, always love to hear ways to improve the design:)

heres the pics i used to model:)

looking good bro:thumbsup, been contemplating about doing that or Hulk for some time now, i will be subscribing to this for updates and to see if i can borrow some ideas ( if you wont mind:)) if ever i do decide to start one. how'd you plan to tackle the body/chest area? i was thinking of building something like hockey armor and start laying the "rock" over it. this build will probably be as awesome as your iron monger.

For the body Im just gonna use a t-shirt to gauge the size like I'd use for a regular armour,then build up the shoulders ,chest and thickness of the back!!

Talent man. just talent.
do you have any templates? Think i may follow your lead and go the camping foam route for texture.
