Nice work! How'd you glue the netting in place? Spray adhesive?

Yep. Extra Strength, Quick Dry. Works great!!! It will still take about 24 hours to fully dry.

Brad, awesome job as always!
Did those styrene pieces give you any trouble? I made the next batch in sintra so that bending would be easier.
Those are some amazing pics, man I really need a new camera.

THe styrene was about the same as the resin, not too hard to work with. I just used my gas oven burner and held the pieces over the flame about a foot above it for about 2 minnutes each. My fingers got a little hot and it took about 2 hours to form the pieces but it wasn't bad at all.
The only thing I noticed was the 2 bottom eye pieces that go ontop the the eye slot piece aren't the correct angle and I may have to make my own to fit correctly. Other than that this kit is a home run and easy enough for the most novice of prop builders!
Ely, Did you get my last PM?

Re: Vash's Iron Man Faceplate Kit Progress, post 'em here...
Wow, 2 hours, really? It took me about 30 minutes max to bend all the pieces and I used a hairdryer.
As for the bottom eyepieces, I agree, I made the angle a bit sharper, but it still works.
I was compensating since it is supposed to be raised on the outer edges, but I went in instead of out. Maybe I could do a version 2 on some of the pieces down the road
I'll go check my PMs, I've been out of it for the past few days and finally recovering from lack of sleep.

wow!
GREAT work!
Who has the kit and price?
If I sent you a helmet, I'd trade for labor if you'd do mine.
I sadly have NO talent.
PM me.
Thanks
Tom

I have this on my other thread, but I want to be included here too
Here's the start of the front of my faceplate (since we can't see anything on the bottom right, I'm going to be improvising some wordings there.
The floating middle section is not permanently affixed yet, but I'll do that soon.
And here's the back:
By the way, I like how you raised the mouth areas a bit more, I'll probably do that on my next build.
However, the way it is now on mine, the nose and mouth areas lands perfectly on my face.
Also again kudos on the photography and the build, you're showcasing my kit very well.
I may ask permission to use those as an example of how to build this kit right.

Thanks Ely. Go ahead and use any of my photos.
Tonight I added some thin foam padding. When painted these take on a leather like quality.
