I'll figure it out. Plenty of time before I'm ready for that stage anyway.Airconvent wrote:Not too sure on the quality of finish but I guess any method will look good considering you put so much effort into it and your mates and the kids would love it too!

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Went to the powdercoaters today with the suit to come up with a plan. Basically because of the filler I need to use to smooth out imperfections and the temperatures required in the powder coating ovens, I can't powdercoat and must go to the auto-paint option. Bummer. He was prepared to powdercoat fo...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Today I had little time during lunch so I just added the toe recesses. I cut the rectangle out of the front of the toes, then made two small trays the same size as the hole about 5mm deep and tapped them in for a snug fit. I then set the MIG to low wire feed and enough juice to penetrate the .95 she...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Here's two pictures showing the hand plate in the open and closed positions. I still need to refine them, take the inside corner off and pad them underneath, but the hinge will have a switch under it that activates the hand repulsor illumination when it is pushed back by the back of the gauntlet. Th...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Thanks to my friend Shane again, for making such a big effort to be my J.A.R.V.I.S tonight. The suit was a little easier to move in, but we identified more places for improvement. This time it took an hour to suit up, photo-shoot in every angle, with and without flash, then de-suit. We are getting b...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Flapdisk work on one arm all done. A bit of fine work in the corners to get to with the die grinder then it's ready to putty and paint. I've also sorted the pivoting points for a solid attachment that can be separated with effort but not come apart unintentionally. http://i.imgur.com/TExFIB5.jpg htt...

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
Got a heap of grinding and clean-up done on the arms and shoulders at lunch time today. Also had a good look at articulation of the elbow and shoulder pivot point and was able to design a simple solution. More on that later.

Re: Bazza's Iron-Man suit build
I finally started cleaning up all the welds and seams today. Most of the grunt work I'm doing with a 40 grit flap-disk. When the disk is new it can get into the long corners, but once it's worn it's just good for the raised welds. I'll get into the hard-to-reach spots with a die-grinder. http://i.im...
