Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

Looks good for your first build. It seems you slathered on a ton of bondo...which is a beginners mistake, so don't feel bad about it, it can be remedied.

Keep going!

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

I actually did'nt know anything. So rather than caking it on i tried to build it up, but the drying time is so quick. then i was introduced to rondo thanks to deelite, now i am getting it.

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

would you recommend rondo over bondo for getting a smoother finish ?

 

[Murdoch]

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

I would say rondo is better for application, durability. But i have been using both. I'm afraid i don't have face book, sorry i can't look up anything. Cheers man...GM

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

my problem is i keep getting little zones where the bondo is sunken down a little lower than the rest so i eaither have to sand the whole thing to much and i end up going through to the paper or add more and make it really thick im so confused lol

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

I don't know what your making but rondo is quite runny. I apply it with brush. Do you have a pic to discribe what you mean...GM

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

i think i know what you mean. What i've been doing is just building up where it has sunken in with slight over lapping so when i sand it will blend. Sanding is key as i start with a somewhat course paper,till i get close-then i go with the 220. Hopefully this is helpful for you... GM

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

it was mate thank you love the helmet by the way f.y.i they have said that iron patriot in the movie is just a repaint of war machine some thing to do with emphasizing how he is a part of the military and iron man isn't

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

Hey guys i have question about ironman 3. Does anyone know if the iron patriot is a version off the ironman extremis? Thanx GM

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

Hey guys- I just made a mock-up of my iron patriot arc reactor. Will post pics later today. Remember it is just a mock-up, just learned to solder. Working on second arc, hope to perfect by weekend... Thanx-GM

Re: IRON PATRIOT helmet WIP

I used rondo for my fingers and i made it thick, not runny, add more bondo than resin

Re: PATRIOT helmet W prototype arc/rctr pics

Hello: just getting these out. Working on a sketch-not completed yet. Playing with an arc reactor idea, don't think i like this one. Will make another till i have what i need. Thanx... GM - Just added possible colour scheme. What are your thoughts?

 

[Murdoch]

So what do you think?

 

[Wetokole]

how about making the star a bit duller...something like how they do with the Iron Man eyes!!

 

[Murdoch]

Yeah - i won't be going with that one pictured. I was just toying around, trying to get a visual. But i think most of the builds have a white plastic disc covering the arc, but i will look into it. Thanx for the response. This is my first build so i'm pretty much learning as i go... GM
