Zabana´s Iron Man WIP - BOOTS FINISHED - Page 13 (NEW LEG PAGE 14)

Re: Zabana´s Iron Man costume WIP- Gloves finished, now The Boots!!

how do we program a servo? do we have to hook it up to a com?

A servo needs something to manage it. So in my case I worked out a system with an arduino, so you will need to code something for the arduino ;)

Thanks ;)

I hope to have some progress as soon as I finish my building work at home :p
 
Re: Zabana´s Iron Man costume WIP- Gloves finished, now The Boots!!

Long time since last update.

I was working on several pieces, I tested my old legs and they finally was too long for me so I went back to the 3d design stage... And this is what finally goes out.

I´m pretty happy with the leg and the abs, so I hope you like it ^^



(It´s an non expected Iron patriot costume :behave)

And this is my dog checking it all in detail :D




Well, and this is all right now ;)

Looking GREAT!!!! LOVE the auto helmet, very smooth and nice.
 
Re: Zabana´s Iron Man costume WIP- Gloves finished, now The Boots!!

nice work... should have lots of room in those pieces for the undersuit. Looks like those cargo pants are pretty thick.

Yeah, it have room, but as always it depends on your complexion ;)

Zabana, love the progress... I have been working on a gauntlet for Halloween but I ran into a snag... I am using your hand files and have already pepped them, fiber-glassed them and painted them. I was looking at stringing the finger armor pieces together with the fishing line but there is not enough room to drill a hole through the sides. How did you attach the fishing line to the finger parts? Also, how did you attach the fingers to the hand and the back of the hand to the palm and to the hand plate as well. I found out the easy part of pepakura is making the parts... figuring out how to put it together is the hard part, lol. Please help me out... the deadline is approaching. ;)

ps - actually I have a Halloween party tonight, so if you responded soon that would be great!

pss - BTW, I LOVE the hand file you did... so much better than others out there.

As you can see in pics my pieces was reinforced doing them with big "walls" and after y just casted them so they allow the drilling, in your case maybe is a good idea to glue them to a glove so they will not fall. And about the lower and upper hand another good idea is to fix them with velcro to the glove as well so it´s easy to wear or remove ;)

I hope this helps you, and in exchange please post a few pics of your work ;)
 
Re: Zabana´s Iron Man costume WIP- Gloves finished, now The Boots!!

Alright, thanks for the advice... I wanted to go for something a little more stable than velcro though... I think I have an idea that will work. There are these little brass tubes I can buy and resin to the inside of the finger pieces. I can run the fishing line through them... I think it will work. For the the back of the hand and the palm I was going to put a hinge on one side but I am not sure how to latch the other side.

Here are some progress pics I took along the way with different pieces in various stages of completeness... I am much further now but in my haste due to the time crunch I haven't taken any recently... I will take some more soon.

The disc with the LEDs is for the Arc Reactor I am making... I made the circuit and did all the soldering myself... my first time for making a pcb.

I love your build, it´s soooooooooo clean!!!!

With the brass tube maybe the problem is that you will loose mobility...problem is that you already painted the fingers so any mod will damage it, if not I will sugest you to resin in the inside an small tube to pass through a fishing line, or you can try carefully to glue the fishing line to the inside with epoxy two compound glue.

About the palm I thought too about the hinge, it´s a truly good idea, to the other side maybe the answer is an elastic band or something like this that keeps it closed when you´re wearing...
 
Re: Zabana´s Iron Man costume WIP- Gloves finished, now The Boots!!

Thanks for the compliment... I know the pics suck (cell phone camera). There really arent any pics of any finished pieces. The closest is the palm and the finger pieces on the string... but hard to see the details on those. It was raining all this week and I had no choice but to paint the peices so the paint job is not the best. But it looks decent. After Halloween I might go back and convert it to a 'battle damaged' gauntlet to cover up the bad spots. ;)

As far as the tubes go I was talking about gluing/resining them to the inside of the finger parts not the outside. That wouldn't look right. :D Well thanks for the input... I will come back and post some pics of the finished product and whatever I do to connect everything.

Hi!

Yes, it´s good indeed to find another spanish around here ^^.

Where are you from?, maybe we´re closer than we think ;)

About the file, I haven´t the foam one, but the pep one is a few pages back.

Sorry if I don´t write in spanish, but mods here told me once to not do it just because this is an english forum, and I don´t want to be :behave
