Sorry, kinda bad way to phrase my question. I was wondering if when you lay the mache on, does the paper start to sag and bend on you? That's what I was asking, and 2 more things. How hard does that stuff dry? Is there flex in the piece? of is it solid? And do you mache the inside, outside, or both? Thanks for advising, never considered using trhe stuff... got a whole container in the basement though. and I must say, you work is amazing! keep it up!

Until now I used:
Cardboard - You know what is this
Cardstock
The brown card that is on the end of the technical block
Then the brown paper i cut into small rectangles
Next, I glue them into this think. This is very hard. I put this brown paper into inside of armor. Now armor is stiffen.
Next, I make a Paper-Mache outside of the armor. I will sand Paper-Mache layer and paint it.

Whan you made Paper-Mache layer and you sand it, it will be smooth.
Preparing for paint? Hmm... I have a normal spray (Sweet Red and Sun Gold), First i sand a paper-mache, next I spray a hardening lacquer, whan it dry, i will pant this on Mark III colours.
PS. I dont use body fillers because in my country this product is very expensive, and sorry for my english what is not so good

The lacquer... great idea! You're awesome man! I think you should write up a tutorial on making paper mache pepakura! (if you want to, pm me the text and I can refine the english some) and while i'm on that, you're english is pretty good! I can understand you perfectly. I wasn't aware I could sand paper mache. It's great for cheapskates like me! Thanks so much for the help, and I wish you a lot of luck on building this! can't wait to see it finished! Body filler isn't too bad over here, but yeah, country-to country it can get expensive. Keep it up, and you'll be looking like Tony Stark in no time!
Actually, possible clone, but mainly I want to finish up some Halo Peps I started. Mom doesn't like bad-smelling chemicals. Paper mache is the greatest. Once I get something done, I'll post it in my own thread here.
I'm almost finished pepping a Mk. V suit, and I have a halo 2 odst helmet i want to finish. I'm thinking about also making a custom Mk. VI suit, but not for a while

UPDATE!!!
Right leg is Pepped and ready to stiffening and Paper-Mache. But first i must resize the Thigh piece. Its too big.
And left forearm is full paper-mached. It waiting for sand and paint. Sorry for my dirty t-shirt, this is paper-mache glue
This black rope is attachment of arm.

New photos from Iron Man Mark III Buxzzix Project.
Thigh is stiffen in 40%
This is toe/heel guard. I would like to make them parts to moving. They will be hung on hinges.
I would like to also do a special hinge to bend the knee, as well as to bend the elbow.
This is this special hinge
Hinge will be attached like on thiese pictures.

I suppose you could attatch them at the center ring on the front and rear of the bell. If you do, though, you'll just wind up with a pauldron that moves up and down...
Maybe you could do a thin suspension rig like most Stormtrooper armor uses.
