Quakevirus, very nice job as I said on the RPF really nice looking. :cool
Comments like that will not make you any friends here, guy's a bonehead on any forum you go to.
It was Fetts that designed and built this armor and gave up all the templates. He is the one that should get credit for the work he's done, and helping others out not Lee.

honestly when i first started this thing i never heard of masterle. obviously now i know who he is now through research for making his suit. i didnt really find any of his threads very helpful being the secrecy of his "methods". saying that he does do awesome work. anywho thanks for the comments!

Fett is the man for providing all this. without those templates i wouldnt have know where to begin.carlino said:
after i sprayed the silver and took the tape off i amazed myself. i told myself "wow..thanks f*#%ing sweet!" i cant wait to get the helmet pepped, sanded then painted. then finish the boots legs. this should(in theory) be done within a few weeks. ive already gotten a request for a birthday party appearance for a friends little boys bday in august.

ok so the 405th has been down but ive still been working..started pepping a helmet. as far as my first pep goes i think im doing good sofar. i have a lot of sanding todo. im hoping my past experience as an auto paint and body man will come in handy.
also i painted the cod piece. i still need to add details as far as the hip pods and what not.
i know it looks off it the pic but the front has elastic riveted in for a snug fit. it looks even when its connected to the torso.

some of those pieces look so sharp on the corners =p but then again that goes to show just how much detail and time you put into cutting them out.
Looks great so far can't wait to see a finished product!

thanks guys for the great comments! i cant wait to get this finished!
ok so here's what i got so far on the helmet. i used Dubean33's markV helmet pep (sorry i couldn't do better on it Dubean33) and i have to say it was difficult. i ended up filling the grooves with bondo and im going to etch them out for a cleaner look. as far as the face plate goes, i just decided for this im just going to rivet the face plate open.( i dont feel like messing with hinges and all that at this time, plus i really need to finish the rest of the armor itself)
i still have some sanding a lil filling todo, for my first pep..not bad i think. here's some pics.
just realized the rpf is up on my laptop. no disrespect intended.

WOW it has been a while 405th!! ok so alot has happened, basically what im gonna do is repost somethings from my RPF thread to get everyone here caught up on this ironman build.
ok did some planning and digging around the house and what i did for the legs is this. im going to start from the shoe and work my way up the legs. i found a set of snake guards and i riveted them to the back of an old pair of DCs(gonna need a lil comfort in the suit) i will then add the plating to the shoes and the snake guards.
then i started on the plating today for the feet. (side note) thinner lined shoes would work better than DCs because the rivets grip range)
