Iron Man Day 11

DAMMIT! This time I made it FAR FAR too big. Scaled it up to 1.1.

The reason it was soooo small last time was because it was trying to print a landscape template portrait. I adjusted the printer this time and hopefully it should turn out ok.

I will use the original scale again and see how that goes. Lets hope I get it right this time!

Iron man day 10

Just thought I'd give the 8mm camping mat a try on the helmet. It turned out pretty well. I am quite proud of my first attempt at the helmet! Down side is that it's a bit small also the faceplate seems a tiny bit short.

Got some major rescaling to do!

Iron man day 9

Took me a day each to complete the forearms. Here they are. Think I might start working on the helmet next. Or maybe the legs. Not quite sure

Iron man day 7

Haven't been working on this for a few days but got back into it now. Finished the biceps today and attached it to the shoulder piece.

It kinda looks like I'm wearing an American football armour.

Iron man day 6

The top half is nearly done! Made and attached the shoulders today. Also went shopping for supplies like Pva glue, some sprays, primer and fillers to fill the gaps.

Iron man day 5

Done the abs today. Starting to look like a suit! I think it's a tad big for me but we will have to see

Iron man day 4

Back piece completed last night. Layered a bit but it still looks pretty tacky. Tried putting the chest and back together but I'm not sure if it's correct...

Iron Man Day 3


Learnt from my mistakes. Much better result after using the heat gun! I must have used half the amount of glue I used for the first one...
