Starx - Mark 3 Build

[Ryan Ward]

O_O Holy mother of tony.... THIS IS EPIC. On a side note, I'm imagining what the boots oughta look like! Loving the work!

Great progress!

I noticed that new helmet in the new Ironman only closes the top facemask, not the jaw piece anymore.

Yep, the Mk IV seems to have quite a few mechanical changes - not just superficial design changes.

I'm slightly annoyed by War Machine having a different helmet to either the Mk III or Mk IV. Looks like some time with maya is due for me...sigh.



Are any of the Starx Industry members going to be going for a Mk IV - just by modifying their Mk III, or will you be starting from scratch, once you've finished your current projects?

 

[Tafumi]

Super duper sorry to hijack momentarily.



The beginning of the trailer has a Mk.III'ish looking design but it is modified in areas. But at the end, it's an entirely different chest plate with a slightly different color scheme but everything else seems to be roughly the same.



Maybe a Mk.IV and a Mk.V instead of a revamped Mk.III and then a Mk.IV?



------------------------------



On topic, fantastic torso work thus far! I'm using a lot of what you guys are doing as a guide for my own though I've had some setbacks in sculpting but - I'm learining!

fine with me.. Just one less moving piece to worry about. My ideas for the moving parts of the suit include about 6 to 7 servo motors...



As for the changes between the MKIII and the Triangle arch.. Probably would be best to just modify a completed set of armor.



anyone notice the severe Under-bite on WarMachine?

 

[M3MPHIS]

yeah I noticed the under bite too. I sorta wished they left the helmet alone and added detail to the original helmet,



but I guess it goes with the these of being a rugged tank like suit



not designed to do "pretty" things

Well Warmachine has alway been the LARGE and more brute force armor with focus on conventional bullet weapons... To fit all that ammo within the suit it would have to be like a tank... I get it.. Rhody really pimped his suit out...

 

[stagefivedrift]

Here's a peek at what I'm doing. It will be all quads when I finish it. I dislike triangles.

 

[CaptainImpactor]

Cool JUICE, you seem to have gotten a bit farther than I have. I think I'll let you go on, without any competition

 

[stagefivedrift]

Sometimes competition can drive you to the next level. It's just roughed in right now. I'll have another sneak peek this evening.

 

[M3MPHIS]

YAY!!!!

 

[Jonny]

Sweet, looking good. What thickness of silicone are you planning on applying?

 

[NickNackPattyWack]

Ready to mold the Front of the Torso. Stay Tuned.

How much did all that stuff cost. Im thinking about molding my Heavy Artillery

 

[stagefivedrift]

Well, I made some progress but didn't finish it. Here's the peek.

Edit: I just found a good image of the helmet and see alot of changes I need to make.

 

[ArktosPendragon]

Great job Juice! And Super, I'm loving the sculpt.

 

[ArktosPendragon]

It's coming along slowly, but surely I should be updating it soon.

 

[stagefivedrift]

Superman- Make sure you pull one for me. J/K It is looking great though. I think I'm going to give oil based clay a shot.



Here's an update. It's gonna have to pass the review board before I unfold it.

 

[guido666]

That's looking excellent! Do you plan to put red lenses in the eyes, when you make it?

 

[stagefivedrift]

You know it.

Are you going to light them up? If you light them from the edge, they may not interfere with your sight.
