Updated MK VI Arc Reactor/Stealth MK VI Suit-Unibeam 9/11(Pic Heavy)

Re: Mark VI Arc Reactor/ Started Mark VI Build(Pic Heavy)

That is very ingenious. I may use your method in creating my own arc reactor.
 
Re: Mark VI Arc Reactor/ Started Mark VI Build(Pic Heavy)

Ok so the back took me longer than I thought. I added some of the detail pieces back in. I wanted it to look as detailed as possible for foam. I'm happy with it, I just need to clean up the seams.

Here's some pics:

Thanks everyone. I'll be starting on the shoulders and biceps next

The chest piece is looking good. The lights on the arc reactor look a little diffused though, it would be nice if it were a little brighter maybe?

I agree it could be brighter, but when I didn't diffuse the LEDs you could see the ring of light they put out. Which made it look a little funky, I guess I could maybe add some more LED or something.

I probably won't use this one for the chest piece in my suit.

Wanted to finish biceps and shoulders tonight but that didn't happen. I did finish the shoulders though.

Oh yea and thanks to Indyfilmgeek for sharing a good source of buckles (Wal-mart). I bought 2 boxes of 2in buckles to join my back to the chest along with 2in webbing. Also thanks Stealth as I am using your setup lol.

The buckles and webbing was just over $3 can't beat that..

Anyone know if Chicago screws go by any other names? I went to home depot and asked for them but they gave me a strange face and said they never heard of them :/

I'm going to need them for my arms. Thanks in advance

I love that foam you are using, much nicer then the traditional thicker floormates, I may have to get my hands on some for something I want to try. Nice work all around, I like where it is going.

Found in the specialty screws at LOWES. And like Jowe said, there also known as binding post!

Keep up the awesomeness!
 
Re: Mark VI Arc Reactor/Mark VI Build- Biceps Done(Pic Heavy)

I don't know if it was just me or what but i had a hard time doing these biceps. I kept changing things cuz i thought they looked weird. I still think they do, not unhappy but not extremely pleased with them.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't be happy with them, I think they look awesome and you did a good job of getting them to be identical! Hats off to you
