Short update this time. I'm tinkering with a kind of segmented collar piece to bridge the suit and the helmet. Using the pep files for the Iron Man neck, I cut out several of the sections and tested them in 2mm foam.
All four segments were too tall to wear well, so I left off the top.
I spray mounted the remaining foam pieces to the blue cordura and cut the pieces with a 1/2" seam allowance. Using a zipper foot, I stitched each segment together matching the edges of the foam backings. The seam allowances were then folded over to each side and stitched down.
The collar still needs a closure in the back and I'm not sure it's going to make the final cut, but I'll see what it looks like when all the other pieces are assembled.
Next up, the finishing continues on the helmet and construction resumes on the accessories.
