Iron Man Mark I Chest Piece?

Holy Crap! I SO have to have one of these. If you're keeping tabs, engrave me on your list!
Fan flippin tastic!!
 
Battery so that I can also wear it too. It will detach from the base.. Still working on that bit right now.

That is top news Rick, thanks! My concern, if it was gonna be mains powered, was the different mains rating between the UK and Stateside...........pheeeeww!!!:)
 
Fantastic piece Rick. Bet you must be tired of hearing people say that by now eh? :lol

As cool as this piece is, it hurts my head when I try to rationalize how Tony Stark made it in that dodgy dungeon with limited, primitive machinery when it looks like your managed to get this far because you have access to some state-of-the-art technology...


Yeah yeah, I know its just a fantasy movie, but it don't stop my brain from trying to make sense of things :p
 
This should help: he was working with found parts, scavenging from his missiles and other equipment. he didnt have to make every single piece from scratch like Rick is having to do.

yeah, that sounds like a logical explanation... his missiles were definitely high tech, and since he designed them, he knew exactly what parts did what. it also looked like the only thing he needed to physically make from scratch was that ring... "we've only got one shot at this..."
 
Wow Rick! Thats a real jaw dropper! I knew this would turn out good, but man...thats insane!:eek



Note to self: list a kidney on eBay :lol
 
Here is what I'm thinking. I going to use a flashlight for the power source and base. It has a switch that I can use and a battery removal that can be quicky gotten to. Seems like the abilily of it being worn could be cool. I've kept the piece as low a profile as possible. An RCA plug to attach the piece to a hidden wire inside a costume is a no brainer. I'm planning on getting a flashlight that comes in silver instead of black. I also wanted the piece to be able to be positioned on my desk.

What do you guys think?

Seeing how much labor is involved in a piece makes me wonder if you only make one for yourself or will other people be able to display this beauty on their desks?

Incredible, simply incredible...

One day I'm going to make a coffee table book or a How TO Make Props book.

Since I'm an outside labor shop I don't get film credits as much as those who are paid by production. I'm asking for it more and more these days but I'd rather still have the cash.

But I will offer up a version of the power point . I have thousands of pictures. Boxes and boxes way before digital.

Rick
Yes! Do it!
 
Molding some parts. Remember I usually put more pictures of the process on my site. Tomorrow I'll pour the other half and begin makeing some of the bits and pieces.
