Iron Man 3 Mark VIII helemt 3D print in hand

[Finhead]

We have decided to produce a Mark VIII helmet now that I was able to get some very nice ref pics that show various details that are not seen on the Comic Con pictures.
My 3D guy has only had a few hours time to work on this so far but we are focusing on the highest level of accuracy with all details in mind. It is being done for 3D printing, once we are 100% happy with the final model. Here's a few early stage pictures.

LOL, yes that is why I have WIP in the title it's being worked on. There are a lot of details that are going into this that are not seen in the Con pics so it will be extremely accurate.
Here are a few pics of two of the last helmets we did just so you know the level this will be.

Sweet ! But it should cost a lot of money, no ? Last time I estimate a helmet for 3D printing it was around 600$ or so !

Yes sir that would be about right. Not sure I see the issue though?

Quality and accuracy cost money :thumbsup

Considering the amount of man-hours that are spent sometimes modeling, sanding, casting, sanding, and all that extra labor that goes unaccounted for, I'd say 600 is very much more than a fair price to pay.

Thanks guys I'm sure this will turn out to be by far the most accurate Mark VIII out.

Exactly.

There will still be all of that going on. After the model has been made which consists of quite a few hours to get it accurate and correct it will be printed. Then it will be mastered , smoothed primed sectoined and preped for molding. Then cast so there is way more than $600 invested in this.

Great work Clinton!
I'm still not sure about that Mark VIII but it will probably eventually grow on me!

Wow, I didn't really think I liked the MK 8 that much but after seeing your model I can see a lot more Iron Man in there than any of the previous designs, go figure. Quality does cost a lot, I'm finding that out with my Spiderman Masks but seeing the results of the investment is great. Would love one of these helmets once finished.
