Re: Ironman mkvi pep helm (aiming 99% movie accuracy) --- TEETH WERE BACK!!!

Been a den-tech today... after the "HULK" broke my IM teeth lol:lol, i finally restored it...

TEETH WERE BACK!!! :love woooo-hooooo!!!

First I attached a card stock on the chin to make a pattern...

Drew and cut the pattern...

Traced the pattern on a 2mm (thick) foam...

Drew the teeth details and made the indentions using a soldering iron...

Temporarily attached it to the chin using double-sided tape...

We decided to make the teeth from foam since it is most likely to touch the cheek of the wearer... to use a soft material seems a good idea to provide comfort :thumbsup

Isn't that the sweetest smile...:love

Hope we achieved a movie-like-effects on the teeth...:confused

I think we can leave it as is (matte finish)... or we can also seal it using white glue (for a semi-glossy finish)... what do you think guys?

Comments and suggestions are highly appreciated...

cheers!

I wish I had the money for this helmet. Damn I have to buy some aluminium ears for my Fett helmet!

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

Today I had the chance to take photos of my brother to show how the foam teeth performed...

It is touching the cheek...

And proves comforatable since its a soft material...

Faceplate and teeth fits well...

Then magnets were installed on the back-piece part.

We used a 8mm diameter x 2mm thick magnets bought from a craft store...

Initially we planned to put 4 sets of magnets only, but the magnets are not so strong... so we decided to put 2 sets more...

The magnets were attached and secured using epoxy clay...

Sanded some excess epoxy clay...

Back piece fits quite well... but i still think if we used rare-earth magnets, 3 sets are already enough to secure the back-piece part to the helm...

Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome specially regarding the cheap source of rare-earth magnets...

Thanks for viewing and for your time...

cheers!

Looks great, I used 3 sets of 7 lb pull rare-earth magnets on mine and they were plenty. Still looks beautiful

K & J Magnetics Inc.

I think a lot of people on here recommmend K & J. They literally have any size/strength magnet you need.

Actually, are Neodymium magnets the same as Rare-Earth magnets? I am getting the feeling that they are not. The neodymium's are plenty strong none the less

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

Yes... Neodymium and rare earth magnets are one in the same... Free source of these magnets would be old dead hard drives... Most have 2 of these magnets inside and they are insanely strong... Dont get your fingers caught between em lol
