Re: New iron man suit in the the works
Wow, that's great! Will the chin open up on the new helmet? And how large of a head will it fit?

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
Hu..thanks :$
mmmmm Then i do have another question thow : What are you putting on your modls so they wont ..."melt?" :confused
Is it long to shape it? Do you have to wait till it cools down, or are you doing something special about it? (sorry to annoy you with all that but i'm extremly curious...-_- )

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
The chin and face are seperate pieces so it can be optioned to open with the face plate, I didn't bother to do so for mine cause the chin opened only one time in the movie, rest of the open face scenes only the upper plate opened, same thing with the new IM2 trailer only the face plate opens on both Iron man and war machine from what I've seen but it can be done.

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
Yes you can, I sculpted my own lenses they are clear cast resin with LEDs in the top as to light up the resin the back side and inner vision slots are painted white to reflect and block light from escaping into the helmet and then painted flat black, so light can only be seen in the front and inside the lenses.

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
For the molds I biuld them out of strong wood ultrical (concrete) and at main details are done out of Aves epoxy sculpt, it only takes about 7-15 minutes to heat the plastic and takes about 45 seconds to cool during forming, it's not super hot but can burn skin easy.
It's cool, if you got any questions no biggy, thanks for the interest.

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
Out of curiosity, what process did you use to create the old helmet, I guess what I'm asking is what it's made out of ect. Are you using the same for the new one you're working on? You mentioned you're not doing the paint on the suit, are you going to have your v3 helmet painted by the same person so that they match?
Anyway, like I said before great work, keep us updated on your progress.

Re: New iron man suit in the the works
OK, things are still coming along ok, I'll post my simple tutorial on forming parts I did this yesterday in my spare time so don't tell me the photo quality sucks, cell phone is all I had either way you get the idea.
6 parts for a helmet, the molds are all like this so they con be resized larger or cut smaller for any one and this allows for more custumizing options, and animatronic features. Note: the finished helmet is not the newest version changes were made to the molds that are not on the old version but it's a good example.
And please if you have any questions or comments please personal message me cause I'm about out of post and need to use what I have left to update in the next little while.
Thanks.
