Ta mate!

Finally the young bloke is old enough to start learning a trade. Helping dad flatten out some temporary joining plates for the iron man suit and then loading the rivet gun with, "very special green rivets".

Bending and folding the chest brace to mirror the cardboard prototype. Pop-rivets just holding shape until i weld it up.

Chest brace welded up for the most part. I won't be cleaning it up until I get the back done and fitted.

Chest piece loosely fitted over the chest brace with the two collar plates.

Absolutely fantastic work! This entire thread never ceases to amaze me.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks dudes. :thumbsup

A couple of productive hours after work today. I tack-welded the cod-piece and neck seal together. I have a lot of beating and shaping on some home made dollys to get it all fitting together perfectly, then I'll weld it all up and grind it back neat.

I pre-assembled the main torso parts together to have a look at it all for fit. The old attempt at the abdominal armour in aluminium is going to be scrapped in favour of a more workable and bendable steel one. I'll get on to that this week hopefully.

Dude! I like the most recent photos.

Only been following for the last few days. TLDR, have you had a chance to weight the current pieces yet and get an idea of how much this suit will weigh?

About 35kg total.

Here's today's work. One shoulder bell with the cardboard trial beside it for comparison.

GAHHH!! I must be exhausted. I spent most of the day in the hot sun on a cabless tractor.

I think it effected my concentration....

This afternoon I got all the way through the second shoulder bell only to realise at the end that I have made half of it the same as the opposite shoulder bell.... got to cut, bend, fold and weld another one all over again! What a waste..

There's the bit at the back that should have been made the other way around.....

 

[BuildsByBaz]

Re-cut and re-made the second shoulder bell today.

Nick Fury gonna be knocking on your door, man. Looking great.

 

[RobTC]

That last pic. I can't even.

Blazing the trail for those of us who want real steel armour sets!

 

[ArcTek]

This absolutely mind blowing, You could get a job with Shield or Stark Industries!

 

[FoxtrotZero]

I don't even know how to respond anymore. I'm in shock. I'm looking foward to seeing you get it on.

 

[BuildsByBaz]

LOL! You guys....

I thought I'd pull a bit of a marathon tonight so I stayed in the workshop until 11pm, welding.

Back armour all assembled and welded up.
