Thanks! I appreciate the input. I have to disagree on one point though. I think it's pretty good size wise, hopefully. I'll have more to show you soon to put it all in perspective. Also I should have noted that it's sitting slightly low on my wrist because as I write this I'm sewing together the...

Thanks a ton! I'd like to hurry up and finish the entire thing but time is the only thing that produces great results ;) I actually stumbled upon this particular shade of blue by accident, it's two parts. First coat of blue is a glossy but flat looking generic blue called "deep blue" then I...

///-- INCOMING TRANSMISSION --/// URGENT: EYES ONLY CLASSIFIED ENCRYPTION CODE: X-RAY PUBLIC KEY: N/A //Begin Message: The Shoulders and the forearms have been completed, they are now ready for deployment. See pictures: HERE (Scroll Down). As a side note, I'm not happy with the quality of...

Hi everyone! So its been awhile since my last update. To start off I've changed my mind again and decided to finish the two parts I had on deck (the shoulders and the forearms) all while working on the gloves. Below you can see a few more progress pics of what I've been doing in the past month...

So it's been a good solid year now since I began this endeavor and work is progressing on the forearms currently. Just as an aside thought I was wondering if any of you who have worked on a project this long have had times when you just don't feel like working on it at all. I notice now that I...

Re: Sandbagger's Iron Man build Ahh that's totally understandable and I would be in the same position as you if I were to start a metal project! Can't wait to see some pieces welded up!

Congrats on making it into the halo bulletin this week!

I no longer have the file but I believe it was made by monkeyfuj, you can try PMing him.

last update on the shoulder progress for awhile: They are ready for final paint. Other than that I need to devise exactly how they will attach to my undersuit top. No big deal :) next up: the forearms

Thanks for the complements! Just a one pic update for ya tonight but the shoulders are getting closer and closer to being done done done. I'm in the process of smoothing and priming them, I may hold off on the final paint until I have the next part (forearms) ready as well. I'm trying to...

Seriously that is looking great. Moving to aluminm was the right choice!

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind for next time I need to cast something. I'm thinking since I used naphtha to thin the silicone that it had a bad reaction with whatever the pigmentation was in that specific silicone, that's why it never setup.

Hey thanks for the tip about molding you left me over in my thread. I was stopping by to say that your build here is progressing unbelievably well. I've been trying to keep up watching each step forward you make here and will continue to do so till completion for sure! Keep up the awesome work...

hey thanks a ton! Here's a thursday night update: So the mold making process to duplicate the right outer shoulder piece over for use on the left side was a lot harder to master than I had originally planned mostly because I didn't buy actual mold making silicone. I figured that for a...

Thanks guys. So it's been over a month since my last update and I can assure you I've been making progress even though I haven't been keeping up with you here. My apologies. I stuck true to my word and finished all my pepakura work except for the left shin piece. I'm glad its (mostly) out...
