Very nice .......what did you use as the screen in the center on your reactor ,just curious ???
Not to be wisecracking but that isn't the RT used in the mk VII armor. That is the arc reactor that is used with the mk IV and V. This reactor uses a paladium core which is slowly intoxicating stark in IM 2. He then creates a new element to replace the paladium and the 'new element' reactor is used in the mk VI which is developed to incorporate the new and more powerful reactor. This is the reactor he continues to wear throughout the avengers movie and in the mk VII armor.
It still looks like a nice arc reactor though.

Not that it will help you NOW 
, but here's a few pics that I snapped with my phone of the newly built arc reactor for the MkVI/VII from the paused Bluray. The first three pics show the arc reactor right after Stark places the new element in, as the reactor is "accepting" the element.
The last two pics are as Stark is installing the new reactor into his chest for the first time (as the toxins reverse). One thing that I find interesting is how different the reactor looks between the two sets of images. Production inconsistency? Something else going on with the operation of the reactor that wasn't shown on camera? Dunno. But, in the end, I based my build on the latter pic, as trying to get a convincing blue triangle to light up was causing me some strain. :cry

That looks great! Did you machine the metal for yours? thanks for all the tips. I find so many different opinions on this. blah. I like yours though. i may try to build another If it wasn't fun I wouldn't do it, right?
and if you have a build blog or tutorial im sure my question can be answered on there so you dont have to tell me twice lol.
thanks again,
Ben

My arc reactor started its life as this...:lol

I created a layered file in AutoCAD with all of the parts to create the arc reactor using this container. I used a 24-LED light from my local hardware store (Menards) as the light source...
24 LED Battery Trouble Light at Menards
I painted the top of the container Krylon Fusion Bright Silver after cutting out the triangle pattern. All of the black interior sections have been cut out of 2mm craft foam and hot glued. I glued a piece of a milky colored plastic lid to the back of the foam as a diffuser.
If you want the parts, email me and I can send them to you and explain a bit more on what I did. I may try and do a quick pictorial write-up later on once I take it back out of the suit. I think I have a total of about $6 invested, including the $3 for the food that was in the container. :love

Awesome work! did you cut the metal with a laser cutter?

Okay, It really looks like metal! Very good work! I actually plan to cut some 2mm sick metal using a CAD file I've made and a laser cutter
I hope it turns out good
