Starx - Mark 3 Build

[Starx]

I couldnt if i wanted to. I don't have the file just as of yet. However, there is someone on this forum called Dungbeetle that has the helmet file. I believe he is still selling them. I've just been too lazy to sort out my paypal to actually buy it from him. But in the end it is either that file or sharkheads helmet file. Both i believe are incredibly accurate.

I almost forgot to show that i had the entire under armor too. I think i mentioned i would show a picture..Anyways. I wasn't kidding when i said i was trying to make one of the most accurate iron man armor out there. Enjoy

 

[Starx]

Note to everyone. I am NOT unfolding the under armor. However, i will be using it as a reference source and thought you guys would be able to use it too. I plan on using roofing shining i believe its called. Its very thin metal, about 2mm thick or so, and can be cut with scissors. Of course ill also be using a ton of wire and components here and there to make it look more mechanical as well.

Everyone. I am still working on some changes in pepakura. Here are the lower part of the legs with the interior detail that i will be unfolding in pep and assembling. I will still have enough room left over inside the shinguard once the pieces are installed. Also, the rear of my legs will open to expose the workings underneath. Enjoy

This is absoloutly amazing!

hats off if you complete it

I would call you god if you could XD

although it probably gunna cost about £150 for the paper lol

 

[Farris]

Instead of doing the interior details in pep, why not leave that as an open space and put in actual wires and whatnot?

 

[Starx]

Doddyno2 - as far as i counted so far i think i am at about two hundred pages? And at five bucks for every 50 im only spending twenty dollars. Dont know how much that is in pounds.



Farris - i will only be pepping part of it (the support and so on) the other parts ive been going through computer junk yards looking for goodies.

 

[Doddyno2]

Is that all the armour or just the bits u have done?

cus it costs about £20 for 200 pages aswell i just thought there would be way more than 200 pages

 

[Yogi Ben]

i found a place where i can get 500 pages of thin card for £13.80

 

[Starx]

all thats up is all you see. granted i have not flipped some of the patterns over so i would probably be up at 300 or 400 pages...maybe..dunno. dont really want to think of it...shudder...i just want to get it built ya know?

 

[Yogi Ben]

yer man, so are you only pepping fractions of the underarmour? id love to build this model man.

 

[Starx]

Yeah. Ill only be building the main supports and then using metal items that i have found here and there to make it work. also a bunch of mini actuators or piston like items to help in movement and so on.

 

[Yogi Ben]

sounds awsome. and the exterior armour fits perfectly on the under armour?

 

[Starx]

That would be a yes.

 

[Yogi Ben]

its insane haha. =] id really love to build this

 

[SirPalesAlot]

Only one word comes to mind when I look at this.....BEAST!!!....After I get done with my MK6 I was thinking of doing the other helmets but I may take this one on if given the opportunity. Ill be keeping an eye on this. Keep up the good work.

 

[Starx]

Not to deviate from my original thread, but here is why i was not able to get any work done on my costume today. My cousins, Uncle, and Aunt are going to be in town monday morning, and my little cousins love all that is Zelda Ocarina of Time (its a video game for Nintendo 64 for those of you that don't know), so i made them these swords. Now that that is out of the way, i will be able to buy glue and cardstock tomorrow at wal-mart.



THE BUILD OFFICIALLY BEGINS FRIDAY AUGUST 20, 2009. WISH ME LUCK....sometimes i question my sanity...but i know the end will be worth it

That's a cool Master Sword, that the one from Section-sixteen I take it. Are you planning on strengthening it?

I made one from wood earlier this year, check it out

I believe you are thinking of roof FLASHING. They are thin metal pieces that are used to seal the roof where it runs into a chimney or another wall.

 

[Starx]

Youre absolutely right. Thanks for the correction.
