Sandbagger's Iron Man builds - Now in STEEL.

[nikolojedison]

Looks like it would fit right in one of the movies. Awesome job!

Man I can't wait until this is all done! It's amazing seeing your process the whole way through like this.

Sandbagger what do you think the finished weight will be of this suit?

Probably the single most asked question on all the social media I have this build posted on.

Post #691 and #733.

Looks amazing my friend. I find myself drawn to this build more and more.

 

[FinAeros]

That's awesome, man. Keep up the fantastic work.

I got a tweet from a TV crew today followed by a phone call and they are coming out tomorrow to do a story on the Iron Man suit for television.

I quickly had to put humpty together again as I've had him apart to model parts for the steel build.

Now the workshop is all cleaned up, I got both shins cut out. Now to flatten, fold and weld.

All the large parts are done on big sheets, but the little stuff can be traced onto the scraps.

All the parts so far.

Another day of TV cameras here, job done! Story mainly on the Iron Man suit, but a little on the observatory as well.

It will go to air next Fri at 7:30 on ABC1, then News24 over the weekend. Online from 8pm Friday.

For those of my overseas supporters, I will be receiving a clean copy for me to upload to You tube. You'll have to be a little more patient until I receive it and upload it.

This tool is called a brake. It is one of the tools some lovely person on the internet donated and sent me in the mail. It makes folding neat and straight lines so easy!

Tonight's work. Unfortunately I have run out of steel to do any more and I won't have access to a welder for some time so works will pause until that is remedied.

You sir are simply amazing. I am worried about welding a seam in my 1974 Camaro and a couple of quater panels on and here you are building the real deal IronMan suit. Not to mention that you built your own Observatory.

Love this thread and all your projects. Thank you very much for sharing all this with all of us.

My pleasure mate! I only hope it inspires and entertains! :thumbsup


I LOVE DIE-GRINDERS!

Thanks to the guys who sent me the carbide bits and the grinder itself I got the centre of the chest armour shaped very quickly to fit the cover glass and housing for the arc reactor.

Four tabs to be welded on the ends to retain the glass housing.

 

[BuildsByBaz]

Crikey I need that gas MIG! Parts are mounting up on the bench and I have no way of joining it all up without one!

Hopefully I'll be back to work next week and get a chance on the welder after hours. Contract ends soon so I may not have the job much longer and I don't know how much time I have access to it.

 

[BuildsByBaz]

Tonight I got some of the thigh cut out properly and bent/folded into shape, ready for welding. I had to stop because the neighbors probably wouldn't appreciate me thumping away with the hammers past 9pm....

Good fit for my long legs.

 

[Harri51]

This just looks even better and better every time bagger. That die grinder helped a lot. looks so nice man....seriously one awesome build

 

[BlazedStarbon]

This build is so very different - I always look forward to your updates.
