1. Finally made a start on my new METAL Iron Man suit. Found an old aluminium sign about 2mm thick. Tracing up templates now.

The plan is to fit card templates over what I have built so far, then flatten them out and trace them onto sheet metal. Cut slots into key points in the sheet to facilitate the most curve, weld them shut, then use an egg-mallet and other shaping tools and hammers to fashion the shape better.

2. Getting ready to transfer templates to the next gen of Bazza's Iron Man build onto metal plate armour.

3. Ready to start cutting and shaping. Insert mad scientist manic laughter here...

4. Next cardboard template to be traced onto sheet metal. Anyone in Canberra got a TIG welder?
