War machine 1st attempt

Re: War machine 1st attempt...

Dont loose faith or strength my friend! :coolThat is simply the nature of the beast! The whole build is problem solving and rethinking to solve all the issues. I think most everyone feels overwhelmed or baffled at what to do next sometimes or frustrated at the never endingness of it! :wacko Take a break! refresh and relax and it will be cool!!!
What you have accomplished at this point is already more than most! Too many start and never finish. That is why there are so few Iron Man/ War Machine armors and alot of simpler costumes out there..

Re: War machine 1st attempt...

electraflier is right! I know when i 1st found out about pepakura (like 4-5 months ago) i instantly wanted to do war machine. Sadly i only found like 2: the Anthony le one and one that led me to stealth, who intern led me to this site. keep at it so we can both add our war machines to the list....(sounded corny as hell) hahaha

Re: War machine 1st attempt...

I feel your pain!:cry I really (quite ignorantly) :confused thought I could start and complete this in 6 monhs for Halloween!:facepalm:behave:confused
I will be happy if I make Megacon here next year and or Dragoncon in Atlanta or *sigh* any of the cons next year! :love
On the plus side, we should be proud that we are plugging on and have the pride in our builds that it takes to turn out something worth wearing for us and looking at for fellow fans!
Also on the plus side, it does seem to move faster as you figure out what we need to do and as or skill sets grow!!:wacko
It will work out and get done my brothers in armor!!!:cool

Re: War machine 1st attempt...

So i got some nice cardboard we use for packing at work..its thin but hard..you can cut easily..maybe ill do Some parts in cardboard..lol..the best part is that is free..well i used Some of it for the pods on the shoulder. I made a housing for them you can see in the picture..also i made some stuff on the neck part..this part is going to be detachable so i can put my head in easily....well here are some pictures...i want to keep going but my eyes are closing..I'm tired..hopefully i do more I'm off for two days..

Re: War machine 1st attempt...

Well everyone i worked on the twins today..lol..still needs lots of work But they are coming along..hers they are

Hers the back it not raised yet...

Here it is raised..i did it a little high but i can live with it..lol..they are not accurate to the movie but it will do.

I cut these of to glue them to the other part of the arm piece i added magnets on the inside so it would help hold it in place....

Then i sealed them back..they are not nice but with bondo n resin it will look better..i think..lol..

Well i will post Some more tomorrow..hopefully you like them..they are not that nice but you can only do so much with paper n cardboard..lol
