Stunning work as always, Drack! You've inspired me to try out costuming with Worbla...

Hah, looks like you guys had a blast! Great job!

Unfortunately work got a bit overwhelming and I had to put the suit on hold, missing the holiday. On the plus side, I won't have to compromise quality this way! I wasn't entirely happy with having to say parts were "good enough" to be painted by a deadline, even if I wasn't truly satisfied...

Thanks man, glad they finally showed up. Been hammering out some more parts on the arms lately and managed to get the first round of bondo/sanding/primer onto the forearms (hated the lack of symmetry with one being bondo'd and the other not!). Also started on the biceps and got them to...

Nice job on the repairs, and very handy that you were able to simply cast it! Looking great at DragonCon too; one of these years I'll have to make the 6-8 mile drive downtown for that event. Looking forward to seeing more of the chest piece!

Did vshore's suggestion work for you? Nobody else has mentioned having issues viewing the pictures and I haven't changed storage methods recently. Thanks vshore! I'm not sure I ever properly expressed my gratitude for your help getting me on the right path for molding; your suggestions and...

Thanks man! They say you've gotta start at the bottom... So I thought I'd posted an update last week, but apparently I wrote it and closed my browser before hitting "Submit Reply". Oops! Regardless, I have a few more pictures and tidbits to add to the update. Been working on the shins a...

Very nice work Roxy! Love the attention to detail, even in the eventually invisible parts. As far as your question about uploading pictures without Photobucket, I've been using Google photos for over a year now and it's been good to me. Auto-upload and unlimited storage (@ 16 megapixels or...

What he said! Glad to see you got this posted, and the shins/thigh plates turned out really well. Keep it up!

Hah, thanks man! Good to see that trooper build of yours too! -- Small update, but got some good work done last weekend. Both legs are now reinforced and jointed, just waiting on the boots to be finished so I can do a suit-up. Speaking of the boots, most of the weekend was spent on the...

While the build may be postponed until Iron Man is completed (my fears in the first post came true, gah!), I did have a fellow member ask about the patterns I used. Using the time I had waiting for silicone to cure this weekend, I was able to get what I believe is all the pieces scanned in...

Just to echo what others have said, it looks about right to me. Keep it up, if nothing else finishing this one will give you a much better idea what (if any) adjustments need to be made. Be sure to allow room for padding and all that good stuff, too. Look forward to seeing more!

Can't wait to see more, fantastic work as usual!

Didn't realize it had been this long since I'd been back to the thread, but thanks Noble! -- Work has continued, despite everything else trying to steal my time away. Last weekend I was finally able to work out the attachment method I wanted for the boot and put the entire leg on at once...

Heh, trying! Having never made a costume with joints before there's a lot of uncharted territory, but the result feels pretty solid so overall I think it's going relatively well. -- Didn't get much actual work done this weekend, but did manage to try some pieces on and get the spacing...
