The Iron Man project part eight

So now we need to make a torso, something that will slip under the chestplate . We start off with abs.

We take this beveled ab piece and attach it to a long piece of foam that will wrap around me, connecting to the other side of the beveled ab plate with velcro.

Time to add some ribbing. We start by scoring the abs with a razor in a tech pattern. Then we go over it in ink. Paint will sink into it but just a little of that ink will show through, creating an artificial shadow.

I’m digging in some canals and inserting real wires from a burnt out power supply here. Something to give patches of technical imagery and a kind of c-3po look.

A few more details on the back, some bling from a dead hard drive. I’ll paint more details on after we have a coat of red paint on here.

Wrapped around. It’ll be a littel snug ,but it’ll also push in some of my girth.

Almost ready for the breastplate! But first, I think we’ll tackle the shoulderpads next month.
