That's where I found them. Made by Lo_techstark and unfolded by Ben Streeper.

Pepping is half the battle and you'll at least have the parts ready to go for bond and glassing. You pepping is nice and crisp, very exciting keeping up on this thread.

 

[Ham]

Thanks, Judge. That's my thinking on it as well. I'm hoping to at least get the pep stage done in the next week or two and then shoot on over to glassing and bondo.

If I had means, I'd love to do a vac form of the pieces so I could do one up in War Machine colors. My son has the Marvel Legends figure they did and I dig how the Ultimate armor looks as War Machine alot.

But, if I'm going to only be able to make one set (for now), I'm doing it the proper color scheme. Perhaps I can eventually get the necessary equipment to vac form. Besides WM, I've kind of been toying with doing the whole armor in red and gold like a traditional IM. Hell, Ultimate Iron Patriot might be cool too. LOL

I built my own 24"x24" vac form table a number of years ago and finally started working with it about 2 1/2 years ago, it is alot of fun and very rewarding when everything works out. And to think I almost threw it out just before I started using it, glad I did'nt. I highly recommend building one, they are easy to build and a must have in my workshop.

I'd love to build a vac form table, if I knew how, and where to get the plastic. It'd make life tons easier for alot of projects.

 

[Judge Spartan]

There are how-tos on Instructibles.com, or google it. I order my plastics through Modern Plastics hear in Green Bay, you probably have a plastics supply company somewhere in your area.

 

[Judge Spartan]

It depends on where you are in upstate NY but I did some research and found Laird Plastics in Westbury if that is anywhere near you. If you already have a shopvac the rest of the vacformer is easy and fairly inexpensive to build. Good luck.

 

[Ham]

They're something like 200 some odd miles away but there's always mail-order, right? I'm going to research the vac form table a bit and see whether it's something I can feasibly do any time soon. It'd allow for alot of experimentation with my builds, that's for certain.

 

[Surreal Studios]

Nice work! I look forward to seeing this progress, I really like the look of ultimate ironman

 

[Ham]

Thank, Surreal. Just took a look at your build. Thanks. Now I need to change my drawers LOL I can only hope mine turns out a fraction of how well yours did.

Cracking start, keep the momentum going and you wont end up like me with an almost completed suit pep miss shaping itself on the sofa!

 

[Ham]

I maintain momentum by bouncing back and forth between several projects. It keeps me from getting bored or discouraged.

 

[CyberPaddy66]

Unfortunately I don't have the space or resources to do more then one build at a time, I'm just waiting for the lottery win and then I'll get myself a huge warehouse to do all my work in

Any news on this build? Would be good to see a complete Ultimate as I am working on a foam version ATM.

[Ham]

I lost alot of the build due to moving. Unfortunately, alot of it just didn't survive. Trying to figure out what to do now

Has anyone got a link to these files? The one on the first page doesn't work anymore.

So far so good, keep it up!
