Here's today's update. I've attached the shoulder bells, and as you can see the whole thing is quite a bit wider than I am - so my arms will have to go into the bicep pieces at an angle. I have a bit more foam to add to the front of the torso so it sits forward further over the shoulders, but here are all the finished pieces so far:

Probably - I think they'll have crossed-over-the-shoulder straps, but it depends how I cut them and how close they fit to the pelvis that worries me a little - so there aren't large gaps, but I can still walk... and still put my legs together (otherwise I'll end up like Michelin man)

Thanks guys, yep I guess I need to make a part 2 video to go with the progress... maybe I'll work on that in the next few days. Here's part 1 for anyone who didn't spot it: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=g_yvkLUiaoI

Here are a couple of shots I took today in daylight - and I've done some refitting so the torso sits further forward and slightly higher.
I also found it was much easier to take the photos while I'm not wearing it ;-) There are a few more at: http://www.xrobots.co.uk/ironmancostume/

Lol, I saw the pictures before I read your post and the first thing I thought was "Holy crap, that guy is skinny!" Realized a bout 2 seconds later that it was a mannequin.
As for critiques, your left shoulder bell looks like it could use some more smoothing in the recessed area. That, along with making sure that the neckseal actually goes all the way up to your helmet, is all I can see that needs fixing. Lookin' real good so far!

Here's the part 2 'making of' YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv0FFtLarog
I guess I'll do a part 3 when the legs are done so there will be some actual moving film of me walking around in it.

Here's today's update of the raw castings of the legs. They are both made from Jesmonite, as all the parts will now be, with glass fibre surface tissue and chopped strand mat laid up.
I'll be cutting them about at the top so they are lower in the middle and fit underneath the pelvis part which will be made next:

We just had the heaviest snow in the UK for 18 years, and maybe more on the way. I do all the sanding outdoors with power tools mostly, so not much chance of that in the next few days at least. There will be quite a lot of smoothing out to do before painting...
