Hey there! Its been a while since I last posted here, and I know some people are looking for me, I received some hate messages from some people regarding this and that without knowing what really happened to me this past months.
Main reason was, my mom died due to complications from food poisoning. I lost motivation on everything I love doing, specially cosplaying and armor/prop crafting.
Second reason, I'm looking for an alternative way to keep all those last commissioned suits arrived to their owners, mostly for alburybatman, supermanjp and rico.
Rico's suit arrived but albury's still in transit apparently, and I still need to save enough for supermanjp's replacement parts for his mk43, and because of that, I made him another suit for free, with me shouldering the shipping fee.
Third Reason, which may link from the main and second reasons, I was battling deppression and PTSD, I always get anxiety attacks every 3-4 hours every day and thats not funny, so I just wanted to address for all those haters, and for all those who messaged me here and my email without knowing or understanding my situation. Thank you, you guys made me come back here.
And now for the comeback post.
I'm here because I wanted to share my comeback personal project after these past months of absence.
Remember this guy?
http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=204871
I build most of him almost 2 years ago during the Iron-Man 3 Iron Legion Hype.
And using scrap foam lying around my old workshop, (oh I forgot, I moved to a different workstation/location because some of my neighbors have been very pissed whenever I spray inside my shop, which is weird because the fume stays indoors)
and left over paint from my Mark 43 commissions last april. The led units are also from scrap christmas lights. The shoes are from my mark 6 way back 2011, and the gloves are from my mark 7.
And here it is now, completed. There's some mishaps and obviously not the best ironman suit i made but I'm still proud the fact that this is a scrap build, I haven't attached any LEDs on the shoulder and back because of lack of funds, I literally build this guy from scratch and scraps.
I know, the paint job isn't accurate to the movie version since I'm working on limited resources.
Here's some W.I.P. pics of the suit, I finished it last Sunday Morning just in time for a local Christmas Toy Event sunday afternoon.
The helmet file I'm using here is the locked version 3 of SmookBMD (if i remembered and spelled his user name correctly) which he gave me a year ago.
And for those who will ask for the pep file. I'm using the low poly mk16 lurking around google. And when I started the project 2 years ago, I totally used the undetailed upper body parts for the costume, and free handed the details.
But just last week when I decided to revive the project, I work on detailing the model, for costuming purposes. Here's some shots of the modified file. It's not perfect but it will work depending on your skill, this file by the way is for foam and paper builds.
I will release the detailed file after I finished detailing the chest and back area and also the arms, I'm still doing those parts at the moment. So for the mean time, I will not release any parts yet.
Those files will be locked, but I will upload different scales for it. And oh, the helmet, gloves, fingers and the boots will not be included in the file packages.
Thank you for reading this boring thread of mine. I guess I'm back on track. Will update the thread soon when I finished detailing and unfolding the files.
Peace.
