WAR MACHINE -You know it had to be done -News Article Added

Post by judge_hellfast »

Hey gang,

Another big project under way, War Machine is under full swing. Helmet is put together, thighs, feet, ankles, shins and calves are well on their way. We are going to see how fast we can put this thing together before ComicCon. Wish us luck. Here's a couple videos for your enjoyment:

It's like raving rabbids came out to play. :lol: We're up against a wall, but it will be finished before the opening. Test fit took place tonight and all I have to say is...it feels real good. :D :lol:

Lots of fine details to hash out tomorrow night. We have lettering and some overtones to throw in. War Machine stands approximately 7'3" at this point. Gat gun went together swimmingly. Electronics to ensue Thursday morning and it will be finished!! We can always upgrade later, but it's impressive as hell. I haven't shared pics due to being so busy with the build, but will post afterwards. :D

Both Mike and I are so exhausted, we can hardly go anymore. We just need one more good 5th or 6th wind and we'll get thru this. I'm sure this Saturday we're not going to be doing much of anything, but rest. :lol:

Thanks goes to CJ for being such an awesome spokesperson. The Iron Brothers got the attention of the press. Here is your first glimpse of our new suit, War Machine. Many more pics to follow:
