Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- PRIMER READY

OK for the past few days i've been drinking gallons of energy drink so progress was speed up...

I finally finished the body filling and sanding of the 3-piece helm we're building... now ready for final primer application

Some details are visible... and also a lot of flaws :lol

(pics heavy but hope everyone appreciates)

Ooops!... need more sanding here... hehe

If you look closely you will find the map of a hidden treasure...

This is how the lower back fits in... Magnets will be installed to hold it firmly... (same as everyone else )

Seamless...:love

The forehead center tip has a sudden drop curve patterned to the reference photo below...

Reference photo...

Hope its a good sunny weather tomorrow so i can proceed with the primer application...

Til then... cheers!

If you don't mind my asking, how did you get such sharp angles on the "top-of-the-head-ridges"? (I circled what I mean on the attached picture.)

VERY impressive build, by the way. I am astounded by your attention to detail!

I've been working late these last 2 weeks and I have been just too tired to work on it. It is on my work table still mummified waiting for a bit more fiberglass.

As soon as I get some time to jump back on it I will

thanks... the sharp lines were created by a utility knife and my bestfriend Mr. Popsicle... (hope you've read about him)

This is awesome stuff. How did you create the overlap for the rear helmet attachment to get the seamless look? I was thinking of cutting my cod piece in half and creating an overlap to make it look seamless.

thanks mizuno... for the overlap, i attached FG on the lower back piece of the helm to have at least 4mm extension... please refer to below photo

then I put body filler to thicken it and make it smooth... hope this help

good luck with your build!:thumbsup

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- READY FOR MOLDING

FINAL PRIMER ON

Thank God for a sunny morning... although it rained hard in the afternoon...

Finally, I was able to apply the final primer and it went out just fine...

Details are more visible :love

(sorry picture heavy but hope everyone appreciates)

Freshly painted... (some pix color are off due to mobile phone camera limitations)

After drying...

Needed sanding...

Familiar pose...:love

The ear pieces provided enough room space for the ears so there's no pressing on the ears what-so-ever... really comfortable :thumbsup

A bit of fine sanding and then we'll proceed on molding... (unless someone objects... lol:lol)

we need all the luck we can get... (it is our first time to make rubber mold :confused)

Hoping to make our first cast next week

We are so excited now... hope it will turn out well...

cheers!

Just take your time and don't rush it, that's the key. You do not want to fail at the end! But I'm sure you already know
