Hello again, the last few days i've not made much progress as i've been looking after my 2 boys so i've got them involved in something different and started work on another part of an iron man suit. Namely the arms. First up, i've popped on a latex glove, reverse taped my whole forearm in masking tape and then covered the whole arm from fingertip to elbow in duct tape. I then cut my arm out, filled with news paper and taped it back up as i went to produce the following.
As you can see, i now have a fairly serviceable right arm(and a left hand that will fit both my boys - i didnt want to subect them both to the full arm wrap) for building the model onto. Next tonight i will construct a card frame not unlike the prototype arm in iron man 1 to base the rest of the build on. Hopefully this stage will go quicky. The finished prop will probably include card, cardboard, putty, CA glue and lots of paint. Will keep this up to date when i'm not round the shop working.
