Same question here, can we see some pictures of the hinge mechanism? I'm triing to make my own, but it would be much easier if I saw yours. Very nice job btw, keep up the amazing work!

Very decent job one of the nice helmets I've seen. I'm working on a steel suit right now myself... Mine is the war machine helmet. What are you planning to use for the eyes? And what about the paint scheme? I look forward to seeing a finished product. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do to hinge mine do I motorize side hinge center hinge or just use magnets.

Thanks man... If you will read the whole 20+ pages of this thread, you will find the answer to your eyes question... I haven't tried final painting my helmet but I will follow the method used by awesome members here. :thumbsup

Just caught up with this thread, simply stunning.

I suspect once you have motorized the helmet you will get a few messages.

Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- NEW SEE-THRU LED EYES!!!

Finally I'm FREEEEEEEEE!!!

I already shipped all the orders and did not take any orders this month of July so I can continue working on my helmet build that's been idle for so long...

I made a new cast for myself... applied a coat of primer filler... it is still in 4 separate pieces...

But before I touch the helmet again, I will proceed first to my "EUREKA" moment...:thumbsup

I INTRODUCE TO YOU MY "SEE-THRU LED EYES"...

This time with a much better long lasting coin battery (CR2032)...

Thinner LED eyes enclosure... about 3mm

Power supply with ON/OFF switch and provision for additional switch (reed switch, etc)... temporarily put a jumper wire (red short wire)

Have a clear lens, engraved lens, and amber tint (for glare reduction inside the helm)

Clear lens installed...

Light is only intensify around the edges of the clear lens...

Not really that bright...:confused

I engraved some diagonal lines (using a scriber) on one of the clear lens in hopes that the lines will illuminate when light passes thru it... you can use a laser engraver for a much precise lines...

Installed the engraved lens...

Turned the lights ON... and

VOILA!... the lines illuminates and the whole lens lights up...

Engraved lens is a SUCCESS!!!:thumbsup

The amber tint were then installed at the back side (face-side of the wearer)

The amber tint reduces the glare thus lessens the eye strain of the wearer... not much noticeable in the photo but believe me it is very effective in actual...

The power supply has a double-sided foam tape for easy installation...

Simple installation...:thumbsup

This is how the clear lens looks like when lit installed on the face plate...

This is how the engraved lens looks like when lit installed on the face plate...

Engraved lens (left) vs Clear lens (right) - Direct comparison... (room lights ON)

You can notice the big difference in luminance... (room lights OFF)... Clearly the engraved lens is brighter...

Camera shot with flash...

The clear lens wins with regards to visibility...

But its not that bad with the engraved lens... You can still see much of the surroundings though like seeing thru screened doors...

And this new SEE-THRU LED eyes design allows the wearer to see thru the lens and under the lens (the open slit of the eye socket)...

Therefore, I will stick on the engraved lens. Although not that movie accurate but I'm sure this will give me more advantage while wearing the helm in a convention...:thumbsup

Similar to my 1st design LED Eyes, this new SEE-THRU LED eyes have the following qualities:
1) Compact design (no messy wire running along the helmet)
2) Very light weight
3) Energy efficient (uses lithium coin batteries, 3V)
4) Provides just the right light intensity (not blinding)
5) Shape is movie accurate
6) Allows the wearer to see thru it and thru the open space (slit) of the eye socket
7) Minimal glare (less strain on wearer's eyes)
8) Ideal for motorized face plate
9) Easy to install
10) ON/OFF switch provided

And you can make your own or I can make it for you (LOL)

Thanks for watching and for your time... more updates on my helmet build coming soon...

cheers!

What are the frames made out of and did you put two led lights on the sides?

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

as others have said, this is pretty safe to say 99.9% movie accuracy thumbsup

the pic you used of the movie alongside the helmet and hinge-work is very impressive. that attention to detail and the effort taken to make this as close to the movie is awesome. great work!

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

ahm bro can i ask ... you a little bit. ahm im curios .. about this can u tell me what materials u used about this.. bye the way im also a Filipino.. im from CEbu!

4th Day... thick resin coating on the inside of the helm....


Coated the inside using thick resin (non-sag formulated by the manufacturer) to further toughen the helmet without using fiberglass reinforcement as of the moment.

Hi, your build is amazing!
I was just hoping for some advice, I'm building from the same pep file, how did you do the eyes? Did you leave out pieces? Because I can't seem to figure it out.
