Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- NEW BACK PIECE MAGNET

So I started installing the back-piece magnets...

I ordered rare-earth magnets online (dia 8mm x T 3mm)... This magnets are so powerful compared to the magnets I used last time which I just bought from a craft store...:D

I drilled holes on the edges I designed the magnet to sit...

4 sets of magnets will be used... actually, I think 3 will do but my OCD kicks in telling me to make it symmetrical... LOL:lol
DSC03671.jpg


I temporarily attached the magnet using super glue...

Then reinforced it using steel epoxy clay...

Then I made a hole (approximately 2mm deep) on the helm for the position of the matching magnets...

Again temporarily attached the matching magnets using super glue...

And reinforced using steel epoxy clay...
DSC03689.jpg


Finally, test fit the back-piece to the helm...:):thumbsup

I am very happy with the outcome... back-piece is attached securely to the helm and it wont budge easily...:thumbsup

More to come... cheers

Thanks for watching and for your time...

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

Did you use more cardstock to reinforce the helmet? I'm thinking I may need to do this to mine.

Not really... I just made some tubes (by rolling some cardstock) and put it inside the helm to push both side wall outward... more like putting beams/trusses...:):thumbsup

Nice details on the magnet attachment. I was wondering if three was enough too!! I like your style of OCD!!

BTW the eye setup you developed is just pure genius!
 
Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- NEW SEE-THRU LED EYES on pg

RJ, coming along great. I think I hit it lucky on the timing of you working on yours as I should finally have time to get started on mine next week and should just be a few days behind you on everything, so keep the updates coming. :)

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- JAW HINGE

Another of my recent "EUREKA" moment materialized...:)

I just finished attaching the Jaw to the main helm using hinges with the CORRECT pivot point location as accurately referred to the movie helm...:thumbsup

Pay attention to the correct pivot point...

And this is what I made with mine...

Closer shot...

With the hinge I installed, it can actually open more...

No worries about the parts snapping/breaking coz it's well reinforced...:love:thumbsup

Below is the demo video of how the jaw move smoothly with the hinge I installed...

Kinda like Ironman talking...LOL

Getting closer and closer to my ultimate goal...:love:thumbsup

Thanks for watching and for your time... cheers!

More to come...:)

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- JAW HINGE INSTALLED on pg.2

Hey Rodson... I'm about to cast another helmet but I've never done it with fiberglass before. How do you cast pieces with fiberglass? Thanks for your help.
 
Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- JAW HINGE INSTALLED on pg.2

Hey RJ, one quick question that's been gnawing at me for awhile. How did you manage to keep the line details and faceplate lines while bondoing and sanding? Did you keep the line while bondoing by using a toothpick? Or did you just eye ball it after using a reference to etch the lines back?

Some of my lines are starting to become covered up with the bondo.

Thanks in advance!!!!

All the line details were covered by body filler... I just etch it back using small file... For the correct location of the lines, I just print out (from the same pep file) the part where in the lines appeared and made it as a pattern (put on the helm and trace)... hope I deliver it clearly... good luck with your build... cheers!:):thumbsup

Brilliant!!!! Thanks for the tip! So all you pretty much used was plywood wrapped with sand paper and Mr. Popsicle to achieve that detail huh? That is awesome.
