Folders Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hello everyone, since i had some troubles uploading pictures in my last thread i am making a new one and hopefully this will work So i have been building this Iron Man armor for about 2 weeks and i thought i would share it with you guys.If you have any questions i will gladly answer them, and if you have any opinions about my work feel free the share them here with me as i appreciate all comments, tips and so on.. Anyway, here it goes:Materials used: (so far)Sharp Scissors, EVA-foam gymnastic rugs, Velcro, green lenses and a glue gun with some glue sticks. I used a program called "pepakura viewer" which allows me to print out the armor in paper, cut it out with scissors and then use them to create armor parts out of foam, the pepakura files i got just by googling "pepakura iron man foam files".. simple as that! And like this i started on my journey to make all the parts for my armor Abs: Back: Back + Chest: Abs + Back + Chest: Thigh: Thighs + Hip: Neck: Back + Chest + Shoulder: Trying the chest and neck : Thigh + chest + back + abs + shoulders + neck + hip: Helmet with green lenses installed: Hope you guys enjoy it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture of the forearm is coming up Also, i am trying to decide wich colors i an going to use on the suit, and i need opinions. The options are: the classic red and gold, silver or black.

Sly11[Admin] Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 The Iconic Iron Man colours of red and gold do look fantastic, have you considered War machine Stars and Stripes Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folders Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for the tip, i like it very much, but as i live in sweden and does not really have a connection with the US, the stars and stripes is a bit overwhelming i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes that's a good call, red and gold or you could be original and go Blue and Gold like your country flag Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuumantroop[TK] Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Awesome so far! Wish I could get something like that together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folders Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Trust me, you can! I have been working at this project for about 3 weeks and it has been so much fun and not hard at all. All you need is some foam, a glue gun, a pair of scissors and one or two hours of time a day It is really like what you did in kindergardeb, playing with paper and scissors By the way, the armor is basicly finised now, i have painted it with white glue so that it holds together better and it gives the armor a nice shiny look. I will now paint the armor, and will probably make it red and gold as the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Batman[501st] Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looks great! So that's just white glue, then paint over the foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
