Iron Man Mark 7 Foam Build W.I.P

[Devohter]

Hello there 405th community! SO with my favorite hero of all time's movie just a few months away i decided to stop my Noble 6 build and begin this one. Here is my very FIRST iron man suit.

Not too shabby for a first try knowing nothing how to bondo and such.

On to this build. Im working from the legs up. just because hahah so here are some pics of the shins, and shins with craft foam on.

I love feedback, and any comments that can help my build.

not bad at all, but I would make sure to put some silicone in the gaps to smooth it out. Also a spray on craft glue will ensure you can glue down the craft foam without any bumps underneath.
Good start!!

Most of the bumps are from the glue either being resized and cut just to fit right. or the angles. Where would i find this...."silicone" you speak of haha.

Fairy nuff. It's just a silicone sealer you use in bathrooms. Can get it from all DIY shops

Well i will look for silicone i can use for such things. I enjoy working with foam that i do with bondo and fiberglass.

Added the thigh now. Tell me what you guys think!

This is looking like its gonna be a great build, is that a suit that you already did in the first pic? +1sub

It looks a lot cleaner dude. Just get those seams in a bit tighter and you'll be sorted

The first suit was my first build ever but i went the fiberglass and bondo route. So i did half a noble 6 build and it was easier for me. ha this is my 4th build and getting better each time

I feel like the more pep pieces i can join the less sloppy it looks. once i add the craft foam i am gunna do what you suggested and avoid the bumps this time!

I am having a hard time with the shin place ment! cant quiet get the angle it needs to go.
