Was going to put this in the prop section but I will be starting my Mark VI build pretty soon so might as well just combined them. Besides its going to be needed to power my suit :lol Anyways here's my arc reactor for the Mark VI that I made from household items and a few inexpensive parts.
I used SideShow's replica arc reactor as a reference. Didn't intend to make it exact but to get the "look" of it.
Parts:
- Template provided by Demolition- Thanks!
- PVC pipe-Home Depot = $2
- Cardboard- Household item
- Usb book light x2 - Dollar Store = $2
- 4 AA Battery Holder - Fry's = $1.25
- Snap connector - Fry's = $0.25
- Resistors 150ohm 1/4w Tol 2% - Fry's = $2
- Plastic container for cover - Dollar Store = $1
- Spray paint - Already had = $0
- Plastic door handle guard - Dollar Store = $1
Total = $9.50
Tools
- Rotary tool

- Hobby knife
- Wire cutter
- Scissors
