Iron Man 2 MK VI Helmet Kits, and Armor Build (Helmet Mold Completed)

Re: Iron Man 2 MK VI Helmet Kits and Armor Build

Had a little fun with this, and just used Aluminum in the cheek detail, and the lower "lip" to match the Aluminum Faceplate. When painted up this will make a nice Silver Centurion, and the same process would work nicely for the MK V Helmet.

I know, I know... I need to dust....
In any case three successful pulls and counting.

Just a test paint. On the 405th I have posted what the paint make, and match is as supplied by an insider friend at Legacy (Formerly Stan Winston). Another good source is The Art of Iron Man. It shows the different paint options the tested, and 2 of those were the final choices for the MK III, and later the MK IV/VI.
This is a very rich, and dynamic Red Metallic 2 stage paint. I will detail this, and add a few clear coats, and polish and buff, however not to the extent of some people I have seen do. Iron Man in all film forms is not Super Glossy as many insist on making him. His suit does not have that super wet deep look. It is simply a satin like sheen that barely catches the light.

Simply awesome. I'd love to get me a faceplate and do it up like the design phase from IM1. Great work!

There are a lot of pictures of the inside from The Art of Iron Man, and you'd have to get a good screenshot for the markings drawn on from the movie, but nothing a little kit bashing, paint, yellow, and white grease pencils could'nt do.

I have not listed them in the JY yet, but I was going to do Kits of the full helmet, I might make an exception if you want just the faceplate though...

I will try to get these pages scanned, as well.

Here are updated pics of the second cast kit.

Helmet Kit consist of the main shell, and seperate face plate, sanded and primered.

This allows for custom paint schemes as well as the option to create a static display, or upgrade to a working wearable helmet. Simply paint, add lights with my eyes and lighting kit, or even a add hinges and servos for a fully functional piece!

Here is the finished product! This helmet was the third cast, and has been fully detailed and painted. The eyes have also been illuminated with LED's. When wearing YOU ARE NOT BLINDED, and have a fairly broad and clear field of vision!

 

[Stark1138]

Just thought the eyes looked good in these pics...

 

[Zabana]

You aren´t blind !? How did you do the eyes? Could you post an inside pic?

Good work done!

It looks awsome!, the aluminum in the check detail really adds to it as well.

Hi stark, I'm new to this whole pepakura & armor building thing. I've just found this site & have been reading through it & I've seen other comments asking about prices for casts for your iron man helmet.

I was just wondering if you are selling actual helmets? And I've also seen you mention something about your light kit for the eyes, are you selling that too? Just curious, so any info you could give would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi there, bravo on your helmet. with the whole suit do you think adding resin to the suit and then filler, smoothing out and then pouring more resin on top will work?

all the best.
