war machine wip

[the dark knight]

hi boys and girls! after seeing the haze's iron man at comic con, it inspired me to build one. however, im not built right for iron man. after seeing some screen caps of the war machine armor, ive decided to build it! from scratch! got my pep files for a base (standard MKIII) and will be building it to get it to this!



helmet is 60% glued up tonight. pics soon....

cool!

That will be awesome! Pep WIP is always enjoyable to watch come together.

We've got one more week left of parting in pieces and attaching parts and we'll be unveiling our War Machine for opening night of Iron Man 2. It has been a lot of building for this guy as he's got a ton of greeblies and fine details. Whew!

I can't wait to see your progress, bro.

i can't wait to see them both!

Nicely done. Love it!

[the dark knight]

thanks chris!!!! no more photos.... but ive resined the outside in small sections, and am currently doing the inside. then ill put a few layers of fiberglass cloth on the inside and out. then the bondoing begins!

[the dark knight]

ill grab photos tomarrow. right now im done fiberglassing. whew.... now im smoothing the face and the back of the helmet out this week! stay tuned!

[the dark knight]

as promised! ive started smoothing out the face plate, and working on the jaw of the helmet right now. i i cut the helmet in half and made it 1/8 inch wider for that squatty look that war machine has over iron man.

[judge_hellfast]

Looking very good. I may get with you about some of the PEP Files you're using. Do you have armor peps as well?

AWESOME JOB!!!

[the dark knight]

absolutly! i have pep files for the body armor also. id be glad to share!

[the dark knight]

more done today! ive built up the jaw, smoothed out 80% of the face plate. enjoy!





(sorry for the first one being blurry....)

[the dark knight]

alright! update time (pics tomarrow) ive built the right boot and fiberglassed it. the right fore arm is also glassed. the right shin, right bicept and right shoulder bell are built awaiting glassing. and made good head way on the helmet today! oh, and saw iron man 2 sunday, im soooo stoked and pumped up about war machine more than ever!

[the dark knight]

well.... i hate to say it, but after all the pepakura building, i took a look at some of the referance photos and noticed to my horror that the chest, back and spine are way off base! the bummer thing is that the files i have are the only pep files for war machine at the moment. so... i will finish what i have made and will be life casting my upper torso later this summer. then i will use clay to sculpt correct pieces. i know, just to dang anal! lol.




in the meantime, i have been loosing weight and have started constructing a MKII iron man with very good files. (unlike the war machine peps.)

here is a pic of the MKII. (incase anyone hasnt seen the first iron man movie)

[timbremer]

let me know if you need any help with the life casting, i have a little experience with doing that......
