Hi all, I have always wanted to build my own prop and have decided the arc reactor would be great for my first build. I will attempt to go for as screen accurate as possible however, I am limited to non CNC equipment. I will try and document best I can the process I go through. Please feel free to provide comments, tips and criticism. We are all here to learn so if you can think of a better way of going about something by all means do share.
I have reviewed all the other arc reactor builds on here and some of them are just amazing The all alloy one built by marsattack is absolutely stunning. I am gong to use a mix of materials and go for metal parts where it's feasible. My goal is for the auction cave built version.
That being said on to the build and fun part.
The first thing I decided to attack was the ring. I started by making it out of styrene to the correct dimensions per other's on the board here. Once the glue dries up I am going to use some metal glaze putty to fill the gaps and finish it out really smooth. I will them make a mold with silicone and use clear epoxy resin to make the ring. Going to tint it ever so slightly green to match the auction version.
Here is the reference I am using
Thanks for looking!
