    i'll take a few more guesses then i'll post a few more pics

    the suit is foam of varying thickness, 6mm, 3mm, 10mm. Im also using fiberglass, resin, and bondo for some part. A first for me, and i must say, if theres a such thing as the devil, its fiberglass. that stuff is nasty. resin is equally destructive if youre not prepped properly.
    There will be electronics and lighting as well.
    It started out with the idea of just doing one piece, but i got greedy and overconfident and jumped head first into doing the complete suit.

    im taking it easy with the bondo since this is my first go around. I dont wanna end up sanding for days.
    2nd thin layer, kinda procrastinating on some smaller detailed areas where edges are important.
    i plan on 2-3 more layers tommorrow and it should be ready for primer and paint. then i can start planning the faceplate detachment stage ;) ;) :D
    6mm foam, 1 resin coat in inside for a bit of flex. 2 resin coats on the outside, 1 fiberglass/resin layer on outside
    working with resin is such a pita. i spent about an hour dremeling and sanding drips and oversaturated areas before i could bondo.
    its easy to get carried away with that shit and lose detail.

    Kick ass! Torx, your talent is wasted working for FedEx. You should be doing movie/stage props, or art in some other capacity.

    kinda normal if it's still on rough paint. With a glossy finish, everything should be fine.

    Even more logical that way.

    Damn you rock man, great talent. I wish I had a Ironman costume like that! It would be awesome! But I have another set of skills...

    Hell yes it will! That's why I demand pics. :)

    And the ribbon is to ring the hat, right?

    You're not the first... Apparently it's camouflaged haha.

    Ribbon is for the hat... I doubt I'll get my crap together to line the cape.
