Iron Man Build Progress.

[Casey2124]

So I have been working on this suit for about a year now.

I got the back done with a second layer of body filler and sanded. What do y'all think? Should I just keep sanding till smooth and add filler or add another layer of body filler?

 

[Casey2124]

So, I think I have decided since I already have two layers of Bondo I am going to put a little more on some spots then try to put some filler on it and see what happens.

 

[Casey2124]

Did anyone else have trouble putting the eyebrow on their helmet? (Sharkbeetle- foam edit by Stealth) I am having such a hard time doing it.

 

[Casey2124]

Goat my helmet done. Just need to fix some things up and then I will be putting coats of Wood Glue on it then plasti dip. What do y'all think?

Looking good :cool keep posting pictures

 

[Casey2124]

Thanks! I sure will!

 

[Casey2124]

So I put about 4-5 layers of glue on the helmet. Next is plasti-dip! Tell me what y'all think!

 

[Casey2124]

Got 3 layers of Plasti-Dip on the helmet. Next is the Primer!, Any thoughts?

Are you looking to have this as a functioning bucket. I would look to fill in and clean up the gaps or creases. It will make a huge difference, i think...GM

 

[Casey2124]

What do y'all use to fill in gaps?

 

[Casey2124]

Filled in gaps as best as I could. Thinking about doing a little more editing on the eyes and then it goes to paint! What do y'all think about this?

From my experience, you should have given it a sand before the glue (to smooth the edges and high points) it's all trial and error = )

 

[Casey2124]

Yeah, it is my first foam helmet and so just learning. Just got the pain on just now!

 

[Casey2124]

So guys. I got the helmet done! I personally think it is good due to the fact it was a speed build and I was using 12 mm thick foam! What do y'all think?

 

[ironbat]

love it!

 

[Casey2124]

So, I got 3rd place with my extremely quick speed build!

 

[Murdoch]

As it would seem, 12mm thick foam. It turned out alot better than i thought it would. So i say congrats to you, job well done...GM
