Also fab shiny finish on it

cheers jason its taken about 4 monthd to build i used foam camping mats believe it or not lol they are 6mm ones with coats of pva and then sprayed with gloss over the top

i could of done with some paint with a bit more flex to it but it will do for now its a bugger to move around in lol

[billymaya]

i used a pepakura 3d program for the templates and then had to piece it all together by eye lol

[Jason]

That is fab mate I can't believe the finish you have got on a camping mat that is amazing   

I can see I am gonna have to up my game for Haloween this year

lol yeah its got about 6 layers of pva/water mix painted on to seal the foam and then a layer of primer and then a top coat of red gloss plasticote

i dread to think how much it cost in matierals but it will be all worth it in the end with the reaction i should get whilst wearing it

[SNuD]

Absolutely awesome 
Mate looks amazing!

[billymaya]

cheers buddy nearly done im just doing some hip pods for it at the momment and waiting for this bloody metalic morphsuit to turn up :s

[Locky]

Great stuff. Cant wait to see Clare in her costume - Aluminium woman?

to add flexability for paint on foam you want to coat the foam in "plasti dip" its a pretty good product, but with majority of paints the more flex in the material the more cracking will occur in the paint.
Congatulations though, Pep iron man suits are pretty complex, youve nailed it really well

[billymaya]

cheers nero year took about four months to get it finished id love to have a go at proper pep and resin when time allows but the foam suit was pretty quick to make and im quite please with it theres a few things id change but all in all came out ok stealths tutorials on you tube inspired me to have a go next year ill be building some thing different thanks for the tip of plastidip ive heard about it on rpf but didnt relise you could get it in the uk thought it was only america ill try it out with the next costume

heres a finished shot of it with a bit of poetic licence  with the hip pods and the arc reactor
