So with my Spartan III relatively complete, and the Avengers dropping to massive acclaim, my friends and my concious have demanded that I make a newer, better Ironman suit (my last one being Ultimate Ironman)
After a brainwave I decided to make the Suitcase suit with a neat little twist:
It should hopefully compress into a size roughly carriable via a suitcase.
To do this, the suit will be held together with an elastic rig, with long elastic pieces running vertically, and each individual plate attached to itself via smaller elastic pieces. The small plate nature of the armor itself means that (should things go well) I can put it on like a giant elastic suit.
Example:
The plan will be to start with the hands, head, and feet, as these will be the anchor points to the major unfolds. Below is a prototype helmet I made for a friend, jus to see if I can build it to the quality (in foam) that I'd like.
I'm personally satisfied with the result, so I'll be continueing. Finally, reference shots:
