    Aug 14, 2011 - Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) - NEW LED EYES!!! #1
    Good day everyone

    Newbie here... my brother and I been following IM threads here for quite some time and been inspired by members here like zabana, gemini khan, leslie, robo and stealth (and more) to do our own ironman mkvi pep helmet.

    At first we tried to make a warmachine helmet but thats another story.
    I will share our latest work which started last July 26, 2011.
    We used shark's pep model unfolded by dubean.
    We are aiming for 99% movie accuracy.
    Tough (yeah) but am sure you guys can help me through much of your experiences and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
    So here goes....
    (my apology on pix resolution since i only use my mobile phone camera)

    additional pep photos...
    We noticed that our pep helmet is quite thin so we put some reinforcement inside to widen the head a bit....

    4th Day... thick resin coating on the inside of the helm....


    Coated the inside using thick resin (non-sag formulated by the manufacturer) to further toughen the helmet without using fiberglass reinforcement as of the moment.

    6th day....

    After initial sanding on the full helmet my younger brother ("the ever-perfectionist") noticed some discrepancy of the helmet compare to the movie pix and some other reference pix we have (from rpf memebers here who made excellent work)...

    The lower lip is a bit long while the upper lip side looped (curved) back...




    After modification


    Proceeded to more body filler and more sanding...

    The succeeding 3 days I was out attending seminars... so progress on our project slowed down...

    So 9th day on the build... (after the seminar)

    Still some more body filler and sanding work... details... details... details...

    dude, photos aren't working. Create a photobucket account or something and use the IMG code to post the pictures.

    10th day...

    After enough body filler been applied and enough sanding have been done... still have smalll pin holes so I applied glazing putty to fix those tiny imperfection...

    I thinned the glazing putty using lacquer thinner and applied it all over the helmet using a brush...







    Then after the application of thinned glazing putty using brush I was shocked on the result...

    "houston we have a problem"

    The surface now has more lines than ever and more sanding will be needed just to level all the surfaces... darn

    Definitely a wrong move trying to speed things up then getting the reverse result... waaaaaaahhhh

    Nice, may I know whose PEP file version you used for this helm? I think we might be using the same one.

    The cheek part, wow great detail, mine sort of just get buried in bodyfiller. :-)

    Ah a little San Miguel Beer always helped hehehe!!!

    Through-out the build much attention were given to the faceplate (forehead curve and lower face curve)... need to get the correct shape that will bend the light correctly same as the movie... darn hard and tricky...

    We widened the gap between the upper and lower lip since movie helm and other excellent helm has i think at least 2mm gap.

    Then another details on the lower lip were given attention... I dont know if others noticed this but some of the movie shots showed a lining above the lower lip... so for the sake if being accurate on this feature, we also put it on our helmet... (though its noticeable that most IM Helmet builder does not put this lining)... oh well, maybe this will identify our helmet from the rest of the helmet out there... hehe









    Any suggestion/comments on what we did is highly appreciated (please be gentle )

    1st coat of primer ON....

    The lining on the lower lip is quite noticeable on the succeeding pix...

    (Pix heavy but hope everyone appreciates it...)























    Blurred some of the surrounding junk...lol


    Ooops... forgot to blur this one... hehe... anyway, hope i win the next "clean house" episode...


    CLEAN HOUSE please pick me... waaaaaahhhh








    Cant get a nice pix but you can somehow see how the light bends on the faceplate... naaaahhh... forget about it...


    What do you think guys on the lower lip lining?
    (comments/suggestions are highly appreciated)

    Still have many flaws to fix... but am pleased as of the moment...
