Nice find.
It will look better than latex too, if done appropriately. The abdomen appears to have a forward facing set and a set for lateral motion that ate joined together. Getting them right will be a pain, but the result will be closer to how this would be done in real life. Gl, I want to see the results.

Great job guys!! I too want to make an entire armor out of pepakura but I can't seem to find a high detailed one. I guess I'll have wait until you guys release the files 
. I started on the helmet which dungbeetle created, I didn't resize it and fits me (I guess I have a small head), below are some pitctures of the job I did. Well I'll be keeping up with this thread and I look forward to more of your progress!
pepakura finished
resined and fiberglass finished
first body filler step (probably gonna do a few more layers to get it nice and smooth)

always glad to see another iron man helmet in the works. lets me get a picture of what it'll look like in the long run. and by the looks of it, i like what i see.
Everyone - sorry its been such a long time since ive been online. I had some personal things i had to take care of that required me to be away from home for a while. But im back. and ill have something to post up in a few days that will probably get the creative JUICES flowing..haha.. and now its crunch time for me. i have one month to finish the rest of the suit. And im gettin to it.

That's a really cool way armor those problem areas. The only snag I see is that the examples on that website were for metal armor (no paint). You now have to solve the problem of the paint getting rubbed off when the joint moves.
If it can be done though, it would make for some bad a$$ armor.

How about molding something out of rubber for these parts?

I thought I'd put this info in our actual build thread aswell
After doing some research on Compression Articulation used in armors from way back when.
especially here:
http://www.carmelemanuel.com/Compression.htm
It has helped me plan out how I will go about doing certain parts that need Compression Articulation to move freely without restriction.
The technique will be implemented with the fallowing areas
its a very good technique.
I don't think this will be too hard to incorporate in the build. A lot easier as well since it will be in plastic and not Metal.
and would save me the trouble casting those kind of parts than need flexing with an unfamiliar material like latex that I have no experience in at the moment
hope this helps anyone out who was wondering about those certain areas
