TMP IRON MAN - New Photos Feb 2011. Page 72.

Re: Iron Man COSTUME. TMP. Update Upper Body. Pg.23

The helmet looks great but it dose not have the same look and feel as the side show Ironman bust, So i can understand the need to start from scratch.
 
Iron Man Helmet

Yes. The problem was that untill now we had no good refference of the helmet other than the photos we seen on promoshots.
Overall i am very satisfied that the armor overall is so close to the movie version when you think of the few refferences that was.

I personlly think the movie helmet is a bit to flat.
I like the cartoon and the civil war version because it looks more menecing.
The movie version looks ("upsett C3PO") with no caracteristic/ angry face.

MOVIE HELMET & POSSITIONING OF THE EYES??
I have a hard beliving that the eyes on the mask are se throug, because the possiton of the eyes and forhead makes no room for the nose like it is shown in the bust. Also the forhead slides to soon backwards. It makes me belive the person wearing the movie helmet actually looks out trough bellow the eyes on the mask and they CGI it out.

Another thing is the possition of the head is unormaly high up.
Notice how long the neck is on the costume and promo photos.
It looks sleak and superhero like but thats a long neck.

If not the wearer have to have a tunnel sight because the head is possitioned so back in the helmet that the eye and the holes of the mask has a distance that they visibility will be little.

To make this a good wearable helmet with good visibility and as close to the original intended design will be chalange.

Main thing is this, Dont rush and take your time, get this how you want it. I know what comes from this project will be second to none!! I know the sculptor well, He's on the ball. I'd expect nothing less from him..
I have full confidence

Awesome work!

I am definately excited to see this project in it's complete form so that I can drool and pine over it and get depressed that I can't afford it.

Your new helmet is looking top-notch!

Not to derail anything. My frank opinion, I preferred the V2 lid. IMO the contour at rear of the head for this current lid is too smooth. I was saving up for the V2, just in case.:cry

Godspeed to your current project.:thumbsup

Peace
 
Re: Iron Man COSTUME. TMP. Update Upper Body. Pg.23

Thanks for the feedback.. Well the V2 Version is not anything like the movie version so i had to scrap that version. I do got it, but i will not make a mould of it. Also the V2 Version is to square on the back while the V3 version is more oval on the back. Well not in that photo but it is now :)
Constant changes to it. The final design will have small changes to it and it will not be exactly as shown above.

Wait and se :)
