Iron Man Armor

[Buxzzix]

Hi! I am Buxzzix and I am building Iron Man Armor. When I saw a movie I wanted to have armor like Tony Stark. My dream slowly come true. I'm trying to get a full armor done before the movie as well. I'm trying to get full armor before the film will be in theaters.



I started to build the armor a month ago. Here are a few pictures.

Looks good so far, is this your first armor? Also instead of paper mache it would be harder with resin/fiberglass.

 

[Buxzzix]

Yes, its my first armor. Hmm... I dont have much time to building him because im going to school and... you know ;]

 

[AlexSpartan177]

Really Nice Job, Dude but like Jason02 said It would be much to use resin and fiberglass, maybe for your next set.

But still you are doing a great job

 

[Buxzzix]

In my country, fiberglass and resin is very expensive and I cant buy this. Im using my own techinc. It is very good. Really!

 

[Memnonic]

They are not so expensive, stop whining. Of course in US or UK resin + fibreglass is much cheaper, but ya know...



about 1.5 square meters of fibreglass cloth, 300gsm is 4.50PLN on allegro.pl, and resin + hardener is around 11PLN for one kilogram. Of course it is polyester resin not epoxy, but I suppose it should work perfect.

Wow, you've got a lot of pepping done... looks good so far! Are you using paper mache technique to harden it?

 

[Buxzzix]

Yeah, Im using paper-mache to harden it.



Memnonic, can you send me links to these auctions with resin?

Nice suit and technique by the way.

 

[Jason0]

Very nice, you surprised me, I didn't think paper mache would come out looking as good as it does there. Keep the updates coming.
