War machine Helmet -WIP- full suit in foam will follow
I have always loved the War Machine from Iron Man 2. It just has this bulky, powerful, massive feel. That being said I always wanted a War Machine helmet as a display piece. I have recently accepted a commission for a relatively big guy. He wanted a full War Machine costume to perform at charity events. I will be documenting the build in this thread. I took this as a reason to print the Helmet for the costume. The rest of the costume will be a foam one.
The credit for the original file goes to Zabana. He made an awesome low poly pepakura version (it was already pretty HD) for everyone to build. He was so kind to let me use his file as a base to create the 3d printable file. I made some minor changes to make it movie accurate. The temple section was one of them. May I introduce...
Introducing… War Machine
And here is my progress thus far
The beast
I had to cut the helmet into sections for printing purposes. I used a relatively low printing resolution to speed up the process. But thanks to my UM2 it still looks killer! Even though I used ABS I had very little issues with warping and build a heat chamber to get rid of it for good. Seam lines and Z-lines won't be visible after post processing. The backplate is still missing but it is being printed in the background. I'll post some close-ups of the prints to show off the UM2 quality. I'm pretty amazed!
