War machine 1st attempt

Re: War machine 1st attempt.UPDATE!!! Metal mini gun arm almost done

Today i worked on my WM..after a few hours of work...i thought what did i Get myself into...lol...ived done so manymods to every part and I'm still not even closer to how i want it...i keep taking thing apart because i figure out a better way..i think i used twice the fiberglass and resin that i actually needed. I started so I'm going to finish even if it takes me all year...buy one thing for sure..I'm going to wear this every where i go...i might even sleep with it...lol..well like i said i worked all day nothing to show for...so tomorrow will be another day for the moment i will cut more parts since i can t resin and use power tools this late...

Keep going! It's definitely going to be a one-of-a-kind for sure... (y)thumbsup:thumbsup

That's looking sweeet man. Just how many layers of fibre glass are you using? GM

I only use one maybe two in certain areas.when i think my resin is about To get gelled up out garden i pour it into a spot where i would need lots of Thickness..like in the corners of the torso and the round bolt(i think that's what they are) of shoulders and other areas that i missed or got and air bubble.....there's areas that i had to redo because i wanted them functional.so lots of trial and error but i got them..if i had to redo i would know what to pep and not..where to double up on fiberglass...i think War Machine has way more work than iron man..I'm thinking when i do my IP suit it will be a piece of cake...hopefully :)

Agreed! How are you doing for weight? Do you think you'll have to add a harness of some kind inside of your chest piece for fit?

Awesome.

Man, this is an awesome pep-build :confused If it can be referred to as just a pep-build anymore, with all the more advanced stuff built into it.

Looking forward to seeing more :)

no harness for chest yet...i did make one to hold the and up and the cod piece i have not attached them yet until i finish the final bondo n paint..it's like a suspender but it has two straps that go across the cheesy and belt area..o one on each shoulder to hold up the arms...maybe i will have to add a strap on the left side of torso to go on harness to counter act when mini gun goes on since there will be more weight on the right side..

There's a few pictures on there somewhere here about cod.....not sure what page though i have to check when i get home...but the magnets itself i used the fiberglass to house the magnets and i only used hot glue but they are not completely secured yet...maybe I'll crazy glue them Or epoxy them...maybe i can fill the void with more resin..
 
Re: War machine 1st attempt.UPDATE!!! Metal mini gun arm almost done

Re: War machine 1st attempt.UPDATE!!! Metal mini gun arm almost done
