    Aug 16, 2012 - Iron Man Lower Jaw Hinge #1

    What are you guys using to connect the lower jaw back to the helmet once it's cut.

    My helmet is kind of out of whack with the lower jaw removed, and I want to reattach it with hinges. I'll worry about the mech to open and close it later, just want to know what you guys are using to hinge the lower jaw to the helmet.

    Thanks!

    Tried emailing MightyJohn about a month ago, and haven't heard a response for his plans.

    Anyone with them able to point me in the right direction to start working on these hinges?
