Iron man Helm Paint...also a Neck on a Budget

[pabink]

Ok, so I've started painting my Stark 1138 Iron man Helmet...(The only Helm to actually make it to a customer) :unsure. I have a bit more detailing to do, but...I fell upon something somewhat cool. I used an Arrowhead Water bottle as a stand while I painted....once I finished with the red and placed the mask on, the paint from the main piece of the helmet had covered the bottom of the bottle, giving it the look of neck armor. So i painted it the same color red and Voila...an Iron man Neck on a budget...like $1.88... It's not Movie accurate obviously, but what the heck...might as well if you don't have a neck prop on hand
Just a cool thing I wanted to share, kind of neat.
anyways this is one of my first threads on here...
loving the site and the people.

That is awesome! I just finished making the helmet and I'm about to paint. That will be great stand-in until I get motivated to make the neck and shoulders. Thanks!!
