Looking good, Barry!
Was overseas for work the past 2 weeks...glad to see alot of progress here!

Glad you're home safe mate! Thanks!

Thanks! Was freezing in Europe...Ironman would have seized up!

Today I cut out all the parts for Iron Man's biceps ready for folding and welding.

I've also cut and flattened all the parts for the remaining thigh, (not pictured).

My hands are covered in blisters from the aviation snips so I'll have to give cutting a rest for a couple of days while they heal.



Also got everything done on both gauntlets including a PVC ring glued in and ground down to just proud of the palm surface. These will be fitted over cotton gloves then the whole shebang painted with a thin layer of plastidip to seal it, followed by a nice thick dunk in the stuff to lock it all in together.

First bicep welded up today and the other started.

The final pieces cut out for the Iron Man suit. Forearm and elbow armour.

Once these are done, it's time to start modifying it all to wear!

[Barry]

Forearm done today. One to go.

[Barry]

Both arms done. That's all the main parts of the suit fabricated. Now to start refining it part by part.
