When's it out?
Well, Robert Downey Jr signed on for 3 movies and he made 3 movies already. But at the end of the 3rd movie, a mysterious tag line appeared "Tony Stark will be back", hence rumours has it that he may be signing in for additional sequels...:)
So no time soon then... ;)

Collar plates done.

1. Tracing the printed paper templates onto cardboard.

2. Cardboard chest-piece template done. Comparing it with one I prepared earlier. A very challenging part of the costume to get right.

Cardboard showing me already where I will need to expand, modify or trim a few things before cutting out aluminium templates.

No. Cutting and bending it just like cardboard.

I haven't worked it out yet, but it will be lighter than the one I've already built.
