so resining both the inside and the outside should be good enough?

resining both the inside and outside will make it pretty sturdy but i still like having some sort of cloth material on the inside which will help prevent cracking if your piece gets stressed, someone steps on it for example.
i just resined a practice helmet with 1 layer of paper towels on the inside (CommanderCody's idea) and it's a surprisingly strong substitute. I'd at least do that if you are strapped for cash

honestly, this project is definitely not for you if you're just looking for alternatives to actually half-ass it.

I don't think he is looking to half ass it. I think he is just looking for some clarity on the answers he has received, and asking questions before you start is always a good thing.
I can't speak for aron42486 but I am assuming he meant he substituted paper towel for the fiberglass cloth and resined it inside.

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
has anyone finished a shoulder and have pictures of how they fit together? Cause I just finished fiberglassing the 2 pieces and cant seem to get them to fit properly, any info would be helpful.

a decent sub for paper/card stock is cardboard, tho you have to get everything in the right place. one of my test helms is glassed over and you just need to do one side glass, the out side bondo/paper mache to smooth it out and then cut in the details with a dremmel
aslo got a stupid question that im not sure has been answered yet here... when i print up robos files, should i just change the printing to landscape or is there something more involved?
@robo - are we still going to see the segmented boot? if not cool cuz i can just do that my self once i print out everything

I found this tap lights at the Dollar Tree. So I bought a couple, and took one apart.
I haven't got my palms Pep'd, but I think it's perfect. The measurements that I put up there should help you guys out. Each tap lights is powered with 4.5 V so I'm going to try how bright it will get with 9v. And the clear plastic cover you can spray with an opaque window paint to diffuse the light a bit.

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
the prob with putting that much power thru 4.5v LEDs is that you could burn them out pretty quickly... i've also seen some explode. i think in the long run it'd be better to just add more LEDs on the circut and then possibly run them on a seperate circut to increase brightness for a repulsor effect - if you use a 9v power source, you should try atleast using LEDs that add up to 9v to disburse the power evenly.
just some technical advice

i used paper towels instead of fiberglass cloth, but still used polyurethene resin. like i said, I only did this method for the practice helmet that ill test out my hinge system on. ill be using fiberglass cloth and resin for my final helmet.

he can add resistors as per this website's suggestion after inputting your voltage and number of leds as well as led types: Current limiting Resistor calculator for leds

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
that is true, i was just trying to help keep cost down for some of those that cant afford the extra few bucks for a pack of resistors
soooooo.....
heres a lil something to help those prop builders that want an HUD in their helm - Amazon.com: 2.5 Inch Small TFT LCD Adjustable SPY Monitor For Security CCTV Camera and car DVR: Electronics - you will also need to modify the connection or get an adapter that will take a VGA cable connection, but im not the person to help with that...
and as a special treat i'll even help you guys out with some hardware for getting that hud working.
For the JARVIS interface, you can use Dragon Natrually voice recognition software and combine it with an interactive AI program like ALICE - be warned you will need to teach it stuff...
now on to the hardware :
Newegg.com - JetWay JNF92-270-LF Intel Atom N270 PBGA437 Intel 945GSE Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo <- motherboard
Newegg.com - CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model VS4GSDSKIT800D2 <- memory
Newegg.com - Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB USB 2.0 Silver Ultra-portable Hard Drive STAA500101 <- hard drive
scince the motherboard has an onboard power input you'd just need a portable power supply. you can rig up a few LEDs to a USB extension cable to cut down on seperate power supplies, but you will need a few fans in place to keep this thing from over heating. prahaps cutting the back out a bit and placing a woden board in there some where will allow you to fit this all in place with little to no prob.
rockets and flight will be some one else's responisbility lol

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
Hey everyone, i have a doubt about pepakura, i know probably is solved in some other thread but you can short my search time by giving me an advice here, thank`s.
¿How the pepakura measures the dimensions of the model? i mean, i can see the model in the screen in a perspective view, but pepakura shows you the height, widht and depth of the model, is it taked from the perspective view or is the true dimensions taked from the view but straight from bottom to top for the height for example? because if it is for the model view it will not be straight so not the real dimension.
For example in the arm from our friend robo, the image shows it not straight lower side, so the height in that case is the height from the bottom to the top of the arm as shown or is it from the straight arm or what?
Than`s for any help, i need it because i really would not like to repeat a piece.

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
can't he like use a 9v batery to power both arms? I kinda failed at physics class but I think it might work. and u can put the battery in the chest or something.

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
depends on how many LEDs your using or what your putting into the suit - but its all about eletrical and not really physics tho calculating space requirements for tech might require some know how in that area
@nick
its all real world mesurments and i think Pep does it in mm - hope this helps!
also - the recommended hardware above could possibly be used in an IM Helm PC if any one is feeling daring - i'd do it but my cash is all tied up in living expenses and this project lol.
Almost done with my third helm and will post pics once i finish the initial build. if its the way i want it i'll start to resin and harden it up - had a friend print out the sheets for the helm but they only had reg paper and no access to card stock around here - any one have any pre-glass tips? i think im going to do what punisher said and run a coat or two of spray on enamel to try and seal it up before glassing

also about the alternative to fiberglass. a while ago I saw stealth's smooth-cast solution. in my country(romania) there is no store that sells it, but my dad works in bulgaria right in the town where the store is. last time he went there I asked him to look for smooth-cast 320 and 321 but he coul only find 320. so what other alternatives are there(as in 300, 301) for 321?
well he said that those 3 LEDs have 4,5 so he can put 3 in one hand and 3 in one hand. if he wires them in series it should work. at least thats what I remember.

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
Bounding box dimensions, so they are the true dimensions of the scaled model. The dimensions don´t change when you change perspective, right?
Not the straight arm, of course not. Again, bounding box dimensions. I think that info can be found in the pepakura help file.
If I look at your first request to "...shorten [your] search time..." and now your statement that you "...really would not like to repeat a piece.", well, I am not sure if Pepakura is the right thing for you Patience is a virtue, and a lot of patience is pepakura

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
I kinda have to agree with that. If it is anyones first time using pepakura i guarantee that you will have to redo some stuff at least once. This is my first time with pepakura and I'm on my third helmet but its for the best, the difference in quality between my first and third helmet is remarkable.
Pep is definitely something that pays off with practice

Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - foot in first post-details last page
Well thanks for the advice, i actually have read all the pepakura help and this topic is not in there, also i want to finish my suit for this october, so that`s what i will not like to repeat a piece, i already have made various pepakura projects but i haven`t used the scaling option, so the other models builded were at the default scale.
Thank`s for reply, i will post some advance soon. Cheers...
