Iron Man Armor

[Buxzzix]

Hi! My name is Bartek, I am 15 years old and im living in Poland. Few days ago I started to build an Iron Man Armor. I already have some parts of this suit. Please give me comments and advices.

Now I'm doing Chest, Back and Forearms. They will be ready in two days.

Looking good! One thing about Iron Man armor, is that it is very close-fitting. Essentially, every part needs to be snug around your arms, legs, chest, waist, and head. I think the bicep is too big, but the shoulder bell is perfect. Though it is hard to tell without the rest of it. The edges around the top and bottom of the bicep are just there for support, so if they make the part too tight, just cut them to fit better.

P.s. My helmet is free now, so if you want a smoother build, get the file here.

I think the bicep is also a large, but you know I grow up


UPDATE

I used my grandma as a dummy

Now I'm doing helmet, stomach piece and crotch piece. These parts will be ready in a few hours. When they have finished I give an update.

UPDATE. I'm making Arc Reactor. Tell me what you think
The reactor is made from nuts from the jar. It is very slim. I'm going to put it in my armor

Very cool project.. Did you make the 3D pepakura your self? Either way very cool to se how you go about this. And your only 15? Wow.. And even better you got an IronGrandma

 

[Buxzzix]

Yes. I have only 15 years old You know, some 40% of these are not my parts. I am doing most of them by myself. Examples include the spine and moving gloves il do the same. My printer is broken so I can not print PEP files. Now I am bracing, detailing and painting armor.

PS: I am honored that such a person like you wrote a post on my topic.

You can see a black cardboard and a lot of brown paper inside torso piece.

PS2:Sorry for my English who is not too good

UPDATE!!!
Back ready to paper-mache. I dont know how to put on flaps but this is not a problem. In few hours I harden Stomag Piece.

 

[Buxzzix]

Stomag is hardened.
