Ahhh... the old, "process of elimination guessing game" huh? It might be, it might not be. That'll throw a spanner in the works..... :P

Secret squirrel.... ;)

Well, whatever it is when you start it, please do another photojournal on it here and post the link in this thread. We'd love to follow that project also.

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!

Great video. I must admit however that because of the video I saw a link to Buddy Hacket on the Tonight Show (on YouTube) and have been following those links since seeing this video. :)

I have another project in the back shed that is 8.4 metres long. I have already started on it, but I won't be working on it until the suit is finished. All I can say is that it is going to make the current project look like kids stuff.

Rocket-powered Autogyro, of course - how else would Iron Man get to and from the kids hospitals?

Seriously, Barry I've watched your builds from the observatory onwards, and never commented before - what you have achieved is amazing, and I take my hat off to you for your motivation, determination and inventiveness.

Well done!

Rob

Now I'll have to look up Buddy Hacket to see what the fuss is about. :P

Here's a link to marvel suit history that might be interesting background.

No money and no time for a few weeks, but today I managed to spend a bit on more foam material so I can work on filling all the joint gaps that so many other cosplayers don't tackle.

It's a bit of trial and error, but the 2.5mm foam wrapped in stretch metallic fabric seems to look better than a red lycra bodysuit. At least I can detail it a bit by running the soldering iron over it.

1. Foam block under the hand plate to provide padding protection on the back of the hand as well as a little mechanical advantage.

2,3,4&5. Trying to make a cover for the elbow that will bend and have the hard steel slide over it by just gluing the top of it in, but not the bottom.

6&7. Inside elbows looked ok and flexed with movement, but crumpled too much at 90 degrees so I cut it in the middle and remade the back piece a bit longer to slide under the front piece.

8&9.

You might remember I had to keep trimming the neck pieces down so I could turn my head. The steel was just too rigid and the bottom of the helmet would strike and scrape. I have now replaced the top two rings with foam to cover the neck gap and still allow movement.

10&11. I wanted to fill the huge gap under the arms, so I've used foam with a few bits sprayed with a very thin coat of chrome spray.
