Iron Woman :) designing a custom iron woman build for the other half for halloween

[Jonus]

Nice. The beat-up look is going to be good.

ok think i'm done with this helmet it's my first go and looks a bit rough but learned a lot from it... pretty happy with the finished look too. I reckon I'll do a lot different on my next build but might try and keep this look for the rest of the bits of this build, just so it all looks the same. Anyhow here a few shots, if anyone has any pointers or ideas please let me know, I'm always up for some feedback or constructive criticism.

thanks!!!!

Does the ponytail thing work?

 

[Eirth]

ye it should do, gonna cut the back off the lower part of the helmet and try it on the missus tomorrow. will post up another pick when it's fitted

 

[JUSTINIAN 117]

Looks pretty good.

[JUSTINIAN 117]

Looks really good.

Looks really good.

Now don't go talking about the man's lady like that. j/k


Honestly, looks very nice man. I had some ideas for hinging that helmet about a month ago. The best I could come up with was something like this http://www.weldingsupplyusa.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&vstore=2&page2=/storefront/itemdetail.php&query1=&action=prepare_detail&itm_id=4637&prodId=58306&sku=045-A885&catno=358

There are welding helmets with face shields that move similar to how Ironman's helmet should. It would be spring assisted. That's not the exact hinge used on a welding helmet, but I'm at work and didn't have time to find the right one. Just a thought...

this is awesome! love the whole idea, cant wait to see this finished!

 

[cfh935]

wow, this is very inovative; good job

 

[Pack hunter]

i think that some shoulders wouldn't be too hard to make for it

 

[jayjayn]

wow.. amazing great work man.. i can't wait to see how its completed =D would be awesome next to a iron man

 

[RoundeyeSamurai]

That is some impressive work, right there!

 

[vshore100]

Looks great! Really nice pep work.

 

[chitwood1775]

That thing looks pretty sweet, and the armor doesn't look bad ether. XD
But really the armor looks great!

 

[Enrisan]

This looks like a pretty unique build. Great job!
Looking forward to seeing the finished costume.

Definitely a cool idea. You should do the rescue armor suit also since you have a pretty close chest, pelvis and wrist piece. All you will have to do is the helmet.

this is awesome. i just tried to download the pep files and it doesn't work saying files are corrupt. can you email me the pdo files please.

Hi all, about 3 weeks ago i came across pepakura and was blown away by the quality of some peoples work. So right there i took it on myself to do some of this, I had a lot of the iron man upper half finished and one or two of the lower bits done only to find out I need a good bit of practise at fiberglassing... this was my work before i messed it all up...

so a bit down and over having to start most of it again i tried a smaller helmet on my girlfriend only to find it was a perfect match

so i thought i might be able to make an iron woman costume and build a his and hers set up for halloween. here was my sketch...

I plan on using the pep files i have for the shoulders, hands and head... the rest will be remolded from scratch so please let me know what you think

brest plate and cod piece done so far

and here is the top build on my girlfriend

This is what I was thinking when I first saw the OP's first post too. You should definitely do this once you finish this project!

Anyway, awesome work so far. Especially on the pep work too.
