I've been pretty busy but got a little bit done today.
Just started installing the electronics in the helmet. As you can see it has no problems competing with daylight.

NGC3372 The Great Carina Nebula
From ASIGN Observatory II's big telescope last night, an image of 4 x 10 minute exposures totalling forty minutes of data with darks subtracted. The great Carina Nebula and surrounds is home to the massive and famous Eta Carinae star system. The nebula lies at an estimated distance between 6,500 and...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Welded in a housing with hook tabs for elastic bands to secure the reactor. Easy removal to replace lighting should the need arise. http://i.imgur.com/nnFD6CK.jpg Nice balance. http://i.imgur.com/A0At1MV.jpg Yea boii. http://i.imgur.com/mZDMfBQ.jpg Balancing act. http://i.imgur.com/mrGGLEP.jpg http:...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Now that's sorted out and I can actually wear them, it's time to tweak the comfort before I clean them up and put the rubber soles under them. I have to cut a couple of comfort lines where it pinches or rubs slightly. http://i.imgur.com/u0C7pkw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gyBn3WB.jpg Also started to buil...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
A lot less than that. Go Mate go! Your're 90% there already! :) Fiddly work. Modifying the boots so they fit over my old army boots. Welded in a false heel to raise me off the ground another inch and a half then modified the top of the boot to be removable for ease of getting in and out. Still got t...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
It's been a while but I finally got some more time in the shed. This is the time-consuming part now that the suit is built, I have to cut it apart and put in joining/attachment points so I can get into the darned thing. Also tweaked the reactor a bit and started to fit it into the chest armour. http...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Looks pretty tight mate...whew! :) When you put fat wheels on a car, often you have to roll or flare the guards. Likewise, when I try to fit my fat ass into the Iron Man suit, I have to add some extra-flared guards around the hip-pods....... Cardboard templates to be traced onto steel. http://i.img...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
I haven't had a lot of time on the suit lately, but I got a bit of a chance today. Next week I have some late-shift work so I should get a few hours in. The tricky part about getting into a rigid suit, is that certain parts of your body are wider than others. I've solved this by splitting the suit i...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Found a special brush to go on the bench grinder that removes scale and rust and leaves a brushed satin finish to the steel.
I'm ready to start installing the servos for the faceplate and then the lighting.
