Pretty simple and nothing major on the shoulders. I went ahead and edited one of the simpler pieces, the shoulder, so I could quickly show what I'm attempting. I'm not great at modeling, so this may take some time. My only solution is to use my limited Maya skills to edit the game model and create a foam unfold that can be built like any other Iron Man suit. I'm just not very good at customizing on the fly, so I know it'd be better if I had a straight forward template to follow. There is some messiness to it, and I know if I did it the same way, it'd be a hack job. If the edges don't match up, you can't unfold it with the proper shapes to cut out.įatMan had a thread where he printed out the template as-is, then cut out the foam pieces by tracing the textures out. The model is the basic shape of the Mark V, but doesn't have edges that line up with where the armor pieces would actually be cut out. The model itself was extracted from the Iron Man 3 mobile game, so it obviously couldn't be too detailed. It's really the only Mark V pep out there, but doesn't have any detail, except for the texture file covering it. Balmung's model seemed like a great place to start. I did a lot of searching for a good model or template, something I could use without starting from scratch. Probably because of how complex it is, probably because there just aren't any real Pepakura unfolds or templates for it. I've always wanted to make an Iron Man suit, but I haven't seen an awful lot of my favorite one, the Mark V.
