Creating Ultron using Iron Man Pep Files

[vindicator]

Did you see the price on that thing!

 

[IMIM2]

Hmm.....
How to create a glowing mouth I wonder?

 

[TaylorMcManus]

Really cool idea, and it's looking great so far!

The glowing mouth isn't hard. You simply wire 10 leds behind a sheet of frosted plexy. You can buy the frosting spray at Michael's.

Those cables running over the legs (Great Ultron pic) are easy to find too. Go to Home Depot and head to the electrical wiring section. You'll find metal conduit that looks just like that. (I've often thought of using it for an Omega Red costume)

I need some sleep. I totally read this as "Voltron using Iron Man parts..." and was confused as hell. Looks good!

Sanding the plexi will be cheaper than frosting spray

Electrical wiring or in the bathroom section, tubes for showers may work as well.

Thanks for the tips. Sounds easier than what I was going to do.

Do you think these will work for the mouth and eyes?

Might want to check several things:
1. Do you plan to lit the mid area (direct spot) or side area (glow effect)
2. What color of LED you will use (Red, white, yellow, warm white)
3. Does the mouth piece of sheet (what?) require a two-way bend or one-way bend?

Base on that, you will know why I asked the question earlier:
1. Direct spot will require longer distance from light surce to your PVC sheet. Unless you planning to open your mouth and put LED torch light all the time, I don't have any other idea :lol.
2. If you choose glowing, perhaps a yellow sheet with red LED will do. But you will have the mid area unlit.
3. If you say both, I have to come up with some idea.
4. Might want to check if the color light can go thru colored PVC. Red light can pass yellow sheets, I don't have red sheet to test on yellow or warm white.
5. Hopefully it is a one-way bend, check the mouth opening with a piece of paper.

Thankfully its only a one way bend. And its direct spot. I was planning on using two sheets. One in front and one behind with the mini LEDS attached to the inside layer.

somebody please make a pep file of ultron helmet................

 

[vindicator]

I would love one of those too.

Maybe hook up an arduino to get some light shifting in the mouth as well!

 

[Sundowner]

Off to a good start! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

[vindicator]

I felt that the shoulders and hands were too much like Iron Man, So I modified them to be a bit spookier. Check 'em out

 

[CaptainSuperman]

This is an awesome project

 

[JSobSpidery0227]

This looks sweet!!! Cant wait to see it in its final stage

Thats what my wife calls it too! :lol

 

[GreenLightning]

For peace to exist life must be eliminated" Ultron. Love how you used an Iron man helmet to make his head

 

[GammaGreen]

You haven't shown us which version(s) you're using for a reference, but this is the version I always think of:

If you make the shoulders a lot larger, they'll match. Just my opinion.
