Before I begin, a huge thank you to @jackieisrockin whose foam files I used throughout this build (unfolded for foam by @ironmaided).
I definitely don’t have the time, space or patience to build an entire Iron Man suit, so instead, inspired by the “warehouse escape” scene from IM3, I’m building just the left boot and right gauntlet of the Mark 42 suit (complete with removable interior details - à la the Mk-1.5 flight stabiliser.)
That’s the obligatory introduction over with, now onto the actual build!
Here is all the pep work done for the gauntlet. This took a few days altogether, and the hand was made using the templates and tutorial by Dali Lomo on YouTube (I still need to figure out the best way to attach the fingers.)
Mainly due to my extremely skinny build, the armour was far too loose to be worn without slipping off my arm. That’s where the interior gauntlet comes in.
Based on the “mark 1.5” flight stabiliser from Iron Man 1, this fits around my arm using magnets and hinges. The foam gauntlet then slips into place over the top and can be worn without slipping off.
What do you think so far?
