Start to build a DIY Iron Man Suit

Week 1

Gather Iron Man Suit images, movie screen shots, video clips and paper craft blueprints, 3d models of all format.

I must say 3d models and 2d blueprints in pepakura are among the most useful.

Then I find those 1/6th scale Figurine from hottoys are critical for me to build details.

However, it's impossible to view all the details and angles of Iron Man suits on the photos although hottoys does present multiple excellent shots of its products.

Fortunately, I come across an 1/1th scale model of Iron Man helmet in a cinema. I took a video from as many angles as possible.


But soon after then still find I did miss several important details. The good news for me is that the cinema is near my office and I go there for shopping with my wife almost every weekend.

I have been dreaming wearing my own Iron Man Suits so I cannot wait to build it from scratch right away.
