If you have a store something like a dollar tree, 99 cent, or big lots. check there for specialty or novelty flashlights. The kind that have multiple modes. If not Autozone,Checkers,or Pepboys might be your best bet. They can get expensive. Keep Building!....:thumbsup

Yep, Its on the posts above the pic of the eyes that describe the lenses. The pic with the ironman cutout. When you apply the boxes make sure you glue just above the openings (eye slits) around the edges of the eye base not on them. :thumbsup Keep Building!....

Re: Iron Man Mark 6- second cardboard build

All the info is in this thread. Go through page 6-7 it should help you. Soldering is one option for - /+ connections, and a electrical kit from the auto parts store is another. Tinker around with it, and let me know where you get stuck.

this is crazy ... you got some great leds for your eyes ... i was tinkering with some spare PC dvd/cd drives and took those apart looking for ideas and got some thoughts and some leds out of them but the dollar store flashlights is a great idea ... how bright are those lights in the dark compared to in the llght of day?
 
Re: Iron Man Mark 6-second cardboard build (Led eye's Update)

Hi BD1! If I may ask, your build was from pep files right? If yes, who owns those files? I am asking because in doing my own build, I might use it also. And what material did you use for as cover for the unibeam in the chest? acrylic? or white plastic? Your lighting tutorial is remarkable. Keep building!

These eye pieces are really bright like headlights at night! Its a 95%Scratch Build from my first suit. I have mechanically drawn templates made from cardboard and card stock. The only robo files i used are the 3d bicep and shoe. I also added to them. He's a Geniuous by the way! :thumbsup And the chest & Eye pieces are 99 cent store plastic containers cut and made into what they are. Check pages 6-7 thumbnails they explain alot. Keep Building!....:love
 
Re: Iron Man Mark 6-second cardboard build (Led eye's Update)

Ah.. the robo files. He's a genius I agree. Thanks Mr. Stealth. I might use his files in building my own armor,I'm wondering if I can combine it with the duct tape build of sir mclean. I had already started my helmet using the shark/dubean file. I think I'm going to follow your guide sir Dynamo on the eyes with the combination of sir Maulfetts "tap switch" as seen on his thread. When he closes his faceplate the eyes light up! Keep Building!

Incredible... but wouldn't cardboard be difficult to bend, and get really sharp/crisp lines?
 
Re: Iron Man Mark 6-second cardboard build (Led eye's Update)

You don't bend the card board. It's cut and two pieces join to create the folds. Read through this thread there are numerous pics of his process.
