Iron Man props (helmet - reactor - armor)

Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)

Ok, quickly.
The pictures of the helmet painted are pics of the first CAST.
The mold was really bad. The cast is full of bumps and chips. That's because I used the wrong rubber and I was way to fast making the mold. I'd better wait more and do things properly. But I had Feb 4th as deadline. I kept all this hidden to a really close friend of mine and finally I presented it to her last night.

I put the helmet, light on, in a cardboard box full of polystyren chips.
I made her open the box in the dark. So as soon as she tore off the tape and lift the limbs, she was the light shining through all the chips...she could see only chips and light...not the helmet the layed underneath. It was like opening a treasure box...it was AWESOME!

When she realized, she looked at me: "You HAVE FINISHED IT!??!?!?!?" ehhehehe, she still doesn't believe it's done :D

Anyways, as you saw, I put the master on a maniquine's head and I locked it on some "plastilina". That way, the new mold should come out way better. Also the VR armor will be tougher and will hold much better.

The cast will be made in Urethane resin since I'm done working and breathing all the gelcoat and resin crap...can't stand it no more...

I'll post the pics of the new mold :D
Thanks for the support!

The Gold paint is a classic Gold. The Red is a NISSAN MERLOT RED, now known as: NISSAN ROMA RED.

If anyone is interested in the PAINT CODE for the red, shoot me a pm ;)

About Head Size, I got a 60 cm diameter, equals to 24 INCH. But I'd think that, depending on the shape of the head, even a 24 inch-wide-head could have problem fit in there, width wise. The helmet is pretty large inside. Might need to cut the back part...as the first cast of the new mold is out, I'll let you guys know ;)

That's one heck of an update. It looks very nice, I can't wait to see the final product once you get the kinks worked out, keep up the good work.

One of the things I enjoy most about the RPF is seeing people make amazing things like this out of nontraditional mediums. I would never have believed sintra could look this good. This is a great project. It's inspiring.
 
Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)

Ok guys.
The first copy with the urethane resin has been done.
Since it didn't come out too good, I went on and cut the faceplate.

It looks good from the outside anyways ;)
I'm probably gonna open a thread in the JY to see if anyone is interested ;)

There's a post in the Junkyard about this helmet :D

But no, there are no updates since I'm waiting to get more material to try to perfect my casts. But the guy who sells the material is dang slow to send me the stuff... :(
