WAR MACHINE COSTUME (IRON MAN 2) MOVIE ARMOR - WIP

hello my friend, excelent design!!
the link is not available 405th.com. please send me the files, is an excellent work of yours, would be very happy with my armor
 
I noticed that the cod looks a bit flat, so I modified the file if anyone wants it. I have also separated the torso for more mobility. Pm me for a download link.**


**I respect the artists that have put in the time and effort to create the models I have altered. My alterations are made for ease of movement and movie acurracy. They will have to be engineered to fit an undersuit with hidden structural supports. Advanced costuming skills will be required.

I would absolutely love it if someone can send me the design files toy email (looneytunes13@aol.com) and any design alterations or design comments they have on it. Thank you... And I would also like to know how much someone would charge to create one and sell it lol. I am a college student and barely have any free time. I do love to construct things but I don't seem to have the time anymore. They say the freshman year of college is always the hardest, especially when you were born and raised in the ghetto... Anyway, I apreciate any replies. Thank you
 
Is that the design for the whole costume??... By the way, your replica is absolutely amazing. I think you do it better then the movie professionals. My girlfriend volunteers for the comic con in ny. If I can make this by then, i' wear it and tell everyone I got it from you lol. U deserve the credit
 
I didn't make these designs so please Credit JUICE from the 405th

anywho

hey guys got the legs strengthened (took forever) and thought I'd try them on, they fit great and mobility is really nice. They'll be positioned higher up a little more and I'll be wearing workboots so my short italianess will get a little boost. They'll be connected on the custom harness I make for everything to hang off of. it should all flow nicely. Lucky I'm well proportioned so I'll at least look tall in pics :)

Maybe not, but you have assembled it like a pro. Beautiful job.

I have really gotten into War Machine lately and would like to build my own. I don't think I am ready to devote the time and workspace to another full build. So I am happy to see those that do. I may have to learn pepakura just for this.
 
ok guys, i would really appreciate your help here. i am brand new to this whole costume thing. i am breaking my head trying to figure out how to make the helmet and rest of the body a round and smooth shape. i know the whole resin part but im lost after that

I'm just a prop & model builder myself . . . but here's the simplest advice anybody can give you.

1. Take the complex overall shape, break it down to the simplest elements, and start with those.
2. Once you have the rough shapes right, the hard part is done. Giving everything a smooth finish will be relatively easy.
3. Learn by doing. Even a failed project can teach you something.
 
yeah but im talkin bout ... for example, the helmet. the pep helmet of iron man has a lot of edges an corners. what materials would i b able to put over the pep that would give me the ability to sand down and paint over it so the helmet would be smooth and round?? if anything, you can email me. its easier access for me anyway. looneytunes13@aol.com

If it was my build . . . I'd build the faceplate as it appears in the pep file. Then skim over the surface with some type of hardening modeling clay, like Milliput or Sculpey. Once sanded smooth, the hardened clay would be pretty thin, just enough to fill the low spots in your build. That's important, any filler that's laid on too thick runs a risk of shrinking, cracking, or chipping away. But a thin layer is pretty durable. Plus, if you make a mold from it, it won't matter anyway.
 
Do you think fiberglass cloth will work as well?? by the way, I realy appreciate all of the tips

Yeah, that would work great. Just remember to make your base shapes slightly undersized, to compensate for the thickness of the matting. That way, when you add the fiberglass outer layer, your helmet won't come out too large.
 
Oh nice stealth !
Thats still the 1.9 scale ? or you changed it ?
This size looks perfect for me i hope its the 1.9 scale, then i'll dont have to rescale it x]
