Iron Man Omega

[ArktosPendragon]

Don't really have any big updates, but I did finish the Arc Reactor. Well, the original plan was to make one that was somewhat accurate. After watching and looking at countless tutorials/builds I thought I had it down. So, whenever I went out somewhere I would remember a part an pick up a little here and there. After getting many wrong parts I decided to use some artistic liscense. I mashed together some things and came out with an Arc Reactor that I believe will fit the finished suit well

And on a totally unrelated note, check it out.

Here's me posing trying to be a badass in my big coat (nearly unheard of down here ). I just had to make this knife when I saw it.







Anyway, I'm working on DungBeetle's helmet and should have some pics of it soon.

Wow looks awesome so far. I think it would be cool however if you were to put the omega symbol on the chest so the light in the center was surrounded by the symbol if that makes sense.

I agree. It would be cooler.

 

[Horgh]

I'll be honest, first I thought it sounded like a monstrosity of an idea. But I guess I should leave my fairly unwelcome misanthropic opinions until I see moar. Good luck.

off topic, but you remind me of percy jackson!

I may add that at a later date, but for now I think I'm going to leave it how it is.

Um, thanks? Lol, you're entitled to your own opinion.

Really? Never thought of that, maybe vaguely lol.





Anyway: UPDATE



I just finished Dungbeetle's old helmet file and spent the subsequent hour cleaning up the thousands of hot glue strings that had amassed. Tip: If you use hot glue, remove the strings as you finish each part, don't wait until you finish the whole thing.

Here is the front without Struts.

And the side

The Back





Then I added the struts that came with the model so:

Here's the front again, with struts added

And a 3/4's view







This was Mr. Oreo's unfold and overall I am very happy with it. The only problems I had were one's that were already present in the model and the unfold was very smooth. At parts it was a little difficult and I even had to fabricate a few pieces, but it was nothing major. I plan to resin this tommorow if I have time, but don't hold it against me if I can't.



I also decided to change the design of this variant a little. Instead of normal forearms/bicep, I'm going to be using JUICE's awesome War Machine arms. So, I'll just leave this little update for you all to digest.

good pepping! The concept seems a bit bizarre, really bulking up iron man,, who is rather slim in form, but hey, it's unique! I think this'll work for you though. Keep it up!

 

[Starx]

If you plan on bulking up the suit, i would suggest also using the legs for war machine. Seems like they would do Iron Man Omega some justice.

 

[bboyfresco]

ah hell yeah! war machine guns!

Thanks.

Whoa, great idea Starx! Thanks man.

Haha, I'm going to be packing some heat







Anyway, I had some time last night so I decided to go through with resining the helmet. I guess I did a decent job for my first time, but I do think that there was a lot of resin wasted.

Here's a nice artistic pic if I say so myself .



More in-depth pictures tommorow. So, what do you guys think?

 

[Starx]

Nice work. Also, something else you could use to pull off the omega suit a little, Clarx has a cod piece that is more rounded than the files of carnages and my threads. You could use that rounder cod since it would fit better with the large round shoulders...of course just a suggestion.

Its best not to glue the seperated parts together before resining (preferably the face plate). Believe me, I had to restart the whole project.

I guess its preference but



I never had a problem with that I just cut the face plate off with a dremel. No real problems

 

[llinformerll]

Whats a Dremel?

I never had a problem with that I just cut the face plate off with a dremel. No real problems

I also prefer to resin it in place...that way it insures that the pieces mate up perfectly, since they will have been one piece. Cutting it later is a snap with a dremel.

 

[llinformerll]

I gotta get me one of those.

Thanks for the suggetion Starx, good idea. But, after seeing JUICE's War Machine cod piece I decided to go with that. Gah! My build is slowly turning into War Machine

Yeah, it's easy enough to seperate the pieces later if I decide to do so.

I gotta get me one of those.

You really should get one. I have a dremel and they are great!







Back to the update:

So, here is the promised better picture of the Helmet after resining (albeit it's way later than "tommorow")



I was able to finish the whole upper right side of the armor pieces. Yay me for not falling totally behind!

Here's me suitin' up.

And finally all of it together.





I already have the cod piece cut out and will put it together soon, next up is the thigh.

Nice. I'll be following this.

Thanks. Also, nice sig.
