Re: My Ironman Mark 6 Foam Build update 03/10/2011 new new helmet done

ok guys ive been working on my gloves today im fitting an led cluster in the palm like the oner i used on the acr reactor so they will be nice and bright then i thought hmmmm i wonder so i ordered some of these tilt switched from ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1107507210...84.m1497.l2649

so the idea is to hide one in the back of the glove so the leds are off until i raise and tilt my hand up then they will light like there going to fire then i though oooooooooo what if i could find i mini sound module that i can add the pulsor sound to and add it to the same switch and i found these and there really cheap

whats you guys thoughts or is it to easy to be true​

Re: My Ironman Mark 6 Foam Build update 03/10/2011 Glove help needed

that is awesome, and all you would have to do is extend the speaker wire. If it were me, I'd put it all(except the switch) in the forearm.

On another note, how thick is your foam?

That's what I'm talkin about!
Everything Looks awesome, and wow that arc looks tight!

I love the helmet as well, but in my opinion, the eyes need more of an agressive upper ridge. "you look sad".... But in all honesty, this is turning out awesome.

ok update again i looked at pics and saw bit i wasnt happy with the abs was too baggy and so was the chest so ive altered therm and they now fit more snug something missing from the back thou i might have ago at adding a spine piece that might join the back to the abs better

anyway see what you think

and no there not the same pics as before lol

Can't wait to use Demolition's Template as well for my reactor.

Looks great! What painting process are you going to use?

Ive done some test pieces which turned out ok im going to do 3 coats of un diluted pva then 2 coats of primer 2 coats of colour and 2 coats of laquer works well on the test pieces i can bend stretch and rub the foam and the paint stays the same just the case of finiding the right colours here in the uk, Ive just shot the primer and will do the colour later i will post pics as soon as ive finished some

Looks awsome dude. With regards to the back, I made my spine and hot glued it to the back then put velcro on it so it attackes to the abs. Mine is Dancing Fools MK III but it should work the same for you.
