Yeah your exactly right. The legsa re pretty much exactly the same but with a slightly different colour scheme. There is a bit of silver and a little more red thrown in.

the majority of the body on the mark IV and the mark VI are virtually identical, save some colour changes.....there might be a few minor shape differences but the major shapes appear to be the same...
i think the differences are that minor that no one will really notice unless they absoutley have a need to nitpick...lol...

In conclusion 100% of people that have seen the movie or even a poster will know who it is. Anthony Le's Iron Man suits aren't exactly exact replicas but everyone knows who he is. Only nerds like us would be able to tell the differences between all of the suits.

I know what you mean. I personally couldn't do something without doing it the best I can. Maybe it's just the perfectionist coming out in me

the triangular chest is the only huge change.

Oh yeah that's Anthony Le. He does a pretty good job seeing as he is pretty much always the first person to complete the suits with barely any source photos.

Aside from the chest, the Mark IV and VI are indeed identical suits with different paint jobs. Even the SWS proto of the MKVI utilized the MKIV color scheme. Please note that during this stage, both the MKIV and VI had gold on the beveled edges of the forearm armor.
The official Iron Man 2 site also has a nifty CGI MKVI that has the MKIV color scheme, similar to the SWS proto.
Anyway, photocomp ahead! I tried to stick to photos of the practical SWS suits, but the only hi-res MKVI pics I found were of the ILM CG model. The base pic is the MKVI, while all of the parts comped on top are from the MKIV. See for yourselves!
There were additional pics, but they were mostly redundant. The MKIV arm seen above (with the disconnected elbow) is actually missing a part of the forearm, BTW. Missing suit pieces are the norm for pics of the practical suits, due to their restriction. The part was present at the SDCC "Hall of Armor" display that's the source of the leg and cod piece photos, but the pic with the missing piece ended up being the better angle, so there ya go.

This guy-
Already made Mark V probably already working on Mark VI

That's the Mark VI. Although he is currently working on a Mark V (suitcase suit) at this time.
*ahem* 2 things.
1. Anthony Le doesn't use Pep.
2. Anthony Le will not share details.
He's got a great method for making flexible, comfortable armored suits, but accurate they are not. Plus, drama seems to follow him no matter where he posts. A lot of it is due to people he's pissed off tracking him down and flaming him, but most of it (IMHO) is his own ego and shadiness.

I must admit, that I am a tad ticked with him. I'm not trying to sledge him or anything, but it would be nice if he did disclose some details. All I know is that he uses high impact urethane plastic for his suits, and a ton of pot rivets which I hate the look of.

Back on topic, thanks Robotrap for completely validating my argument and doing what I was too lazy to (do a photocomp).
And to whomever is taking on the Mark VI (preferably with a Mark IV chest also available), as long as it's done with enough time that I can build it by Halloween, I'm a happy camper.

I started making the chest , starting to look good.
Anyone ever consider building armor with a pep file, but transferring the pattern onto sheet plastic and building it like that? For some complex curvy pieces this might not work, but there are a lot of angular, flat pieces on the MK vi. One could avoid all the bondo and resin.
