Bazza's Iron-Man suit build

[Barry]

For those of you who have been asking how I am going to colour my aluminium Iron Man suit, I won't be painting it - I will be anodising it. Here is a sample.



Back assembled. This was actually way easy to put together. I was dreading it thinking it was going to be complicated.

love that colour!

Back all painted up. I know it's only cardboard, but will still finish up as a nice statue while I build the aluminium one.

Neck seal assembled.



Chest and back fitted together with brace and neck seal, collar plates, abs and cod.

Great Barry.. Did not know cardboard can look so good!

I must admit I have been pleasantly surprised by the way such a cheap material is turning out.

Maybe you can mass produce it and sell it as a kit once you finalise the design...! But of course, only if Marvel has no objections

Marvel would absolutely object. I have heard of a few people being sued for profiteering like that.
