Ladies can be Iron Man too (everything but the shoulders, pg 35)

and today i'm fiberglassing the inside. So far it's been the most difficult step...I can't seem to get it to lay against the inside as flushly as I would like.

Great work! I think a female version of the Mark III would be amazing. Built to look just like the Stark version, but with proportions more like a woman.

Similiar to how a women's tee is cut different from a men's tee, in iron suit form. You'd be a big hit at any event if you stood out that way!

Either way, nice work!

Wow, I'm so jealous! I'm a girl too and would love to do something like that (I adore the Iron Man films), but I wouldn't even know where to begin. I don't really know what Pepakura is or how I'd do it and I haven't the faintest idea where to start with resins and stuff. Looks like I'm destined to sit and admire talented people from afar :lol
I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on!

I found brushing a layer of resin on the inside, then within the first half hour (before it had a chance to fully cure), lay a strip of fiberglass and soak it with resin. the pre-resin makes it a little sticky so it will hold the fiberglass cloth, and using small strips or square of fiberglass makes them easier to fit in the many nooks and crannies ..

You really should look into it and give it a go! it isn't very hard at all and it's pretty darn cheap. I'm sure you could do it.

Looking forward to more progress pics.

I'm not harassing anyone. I'm only being critical because I actually want to see finished products so that I can learn from them. End rant.

Really cool to see more girls get into building various armor suits and especially cool that you are just straight up doing Iron Man and not putting boobs on the armor LOL

Nothing wrong with fem-characters just cooler to me to see a kick butt build , have guys coming up and being all like, thats so cool, then you take the helmet off and you're a girl and it blows their minds

Dude party foul, first off dont assume the logistics of the thread and what you think they should be, if you want to be critical go make your own thread requesting help on your own build. This thread is all about Laamberry's Iron man build and progress, if your peeved at the amount of pep helmets thats your problem dont post on peoples thread raging about it.

Keep up the good work Laamberry and I cant wait to see the rest!!!!!

so are you going to make the armor "fitted"? I think it will be alot more interesting that way.

Way cooler if you just see the suit and when they take the helmet off it's a girl.
