Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) - with BLINK/FADE LED EYES

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- JAW HINGE INSTALLED on pg.2

Brilliant!!!! Thanks for the tip! So all you pretty much used was plywood wrapped with sand paper and Mr. Popsicle to achieve that detail huh? That is awesome.

Yup... Mr. Popsicle is my bestfriend and can be your bestfriend too... :):thumbsup


This vid is very helpful to me...PPI Fiberglass Making - YouTube... its the same process I did on my helm... good luck! :):thumbsup

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) - FACEPLATE HINGE INSTALLED!

Finally I got the Faceplate hinge installed...:):thumbsup (Sorry picture heavy)

Staying true to our target movie accuracy (99%), I paid close attention to the position of the Faceplate and Jaw from my reference screen caps...

Helmet has a wide opening when faceplate goes up and jaw goes down...
