Iron Man Mark I Chest Piece?

[ricksprops]

I'm taking all of these ideas into account. Love the feedback! Nothing worse than to make something people don't like.

What I need is a small version of frankenstien in his hammock hoisted up in the air like he is going to be hit by lightening. I've got this very cool skylight in my new shop that screams this piece. Jackobs ladder too!

I still prefer the screen used setup with the ring on the prop, not the glass.

 

[B-Movie Zombie]

I agree with Monkeywrench.

See what I mean about the glass. The edges are very green. Either it is breakaway glass or its real glass that breaks in a million pieces when broken. Looks very thick and the edges are just too rounded.

I could make the label too. Unfortunately it kind of takes away from the cool piece that the prop is by its self. I could always put it on afterwards.

it would look good displayed like this if you have the armor too

 

[Jumpin Jax]

I plan on getting 2 from you rick, one for display in the case and the other to actually mount in the chest of my armor which will be displayed like this

::SMACK!:: You can't put a Mark 1 in the Mark 2 suit!:rolleyes What is wrong with you!!!!!!???

Well, if you want to get all anal about it:lol

Yes, you can but you will not get full power. Hell, that IS what Stark did.

 

[ReturningSon]

Well, with all of the interest, it certainly would be a shame if this did not come to fruition in some way!

You really wanna get technical its a Mark 3 suit that he is talking about and Stark actually has to do this....so it makes sense.

Eeeeh, can't quit count the finished product as 3, it's different material for the same design.
But we've digressed:cool

 

[ricksprops]

Hey, I'm on it just give me some time to move my shop! You'll see pictures of the one I'm making for myself.

Well, with all of the interest, it certainly would be a shame if this did not come to fruition in some way!

 

[ReturningSon]

Take your time rick! No pressure......or is there.....(insert evil laugh)

The film and source materials refer to it as Mark 03 I don't see why anyone would and if you want to get completely technical the Mark 02 has tons of rivets and plating while the Mark 03 is streamlined and visually very different.

We can continue digress but the reality is that there is a Mark 01, Mark 02 and Mark 03. If you follow the comics there are up to 27 different models and Marks up to 7 and many of them are small but important material changes.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As it was a gag to start with, it's all yours to obsess over.:cool

 

[fettster]

C'mon guys, jax made a joke, i saw it as a joke and made a joke reply

Rick, I returned your email earlier today.

I have to agree with everyone on the glass/plexi case. Its not needed as far as im concerned. If I change my mind, its easy enough to build one.

I still dig the label ring though. Most of my friends dont "get" props as it is. Im actually already betting on which one of them will look at it and say "Who's Tony Stark"? lollol

See what I mean about the glass. The edges are very green. Either it is breakaway glass or its real glass that breaks in a million pieces when broken. Looks very thick and the edges are just too rounded.

I could make the label too. Unfortunately it kind of takes away from the cool piece that the prop is by its self. You could always put it on afterwards. I'd include it but I wouldn't have it on mine. Mostly because everyone would already know what it was anyway. That's just me though.

I would love for this to be an independent piece from the base where you can pick it up and check it out like in the film while still having it be lit up...

I think LEDs are the way to go, they can't be that costly are they?

 

[Mr.Engineer]

OK, here was what I was talking about regarding using Luxeon LEDs and the whole metal construct as its heatsink. Sorry I did not wait for the scanner and so I took a picture of my 15 minute sketch instead. :confused

I've made a chest-piece that I think looks pretty good, considering that it's completely covered.

It looks a bit bluish, but the LEDs are white.

Even the camera's flash can't obliterate it.

My EE friend wired up some LEDs and a battery pack and I put in some foamboard spacers, a sheet of paper to diffuse the light, then another piece of foamboard on top with the proper pattern cut into it.
