Hey there,
I'm in the process of building an Iron Man Mark 50 Suit, im working my way through modifying the templates and building it with low density foam, adapting them until perfect then making them in High Density foam. I've hit a snag however and thought someone else might have a work around.
I'm working on the section from the shoulder down to the hand currently, its all to the right scale, been modified for hinges on the elbow and such, but I'm not happy with the wrist. The hand plate ends at the base of the hand (as it would) and the forearm starts at the base of the arm, I know, shocker!
But I want to incorporate the wrist somehow. It needs rotational flexibility as well as pivoting up and down. Initially I made it on a long glove and glues the end of the glove inside the forearm, but the twisting on the rubber glove was nasty. I was thinking of extending the glove up the forearm using a smaller diameter thinner foam so it would slot up the arm, but the forarm is a snug fit by design and the extra 2mm all round makes it grind.
Under the suit is a full body Red Unitard with a zipper up the back, this will take care of any joins that cant be covered in armour, but id like to do what I can about most of them with foam so it looks better.
Anyone got any suggestions for a EVA foam wrist. ive got 2mm and 5mm foam in both low and high density to work with.
