Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - hip pod and foot flap now available
Hi everyone,
I just found out about this forum and it's amazing, congratulations everyone!
I'm an Iron Man fan and digital artist, after the movies I went ahead and modelled the suits, you can check them out here:
YouTube - Iron Man 2 Suit
YouTube - Iron Man 2 Suit Mark II
After looking at the various projects here, I was deeply inspired to try and build at least the helmet physically! I went through quite a bit of these posts and managed to open the pep files and print them properly. I was hoping you could give me some tips...
What kind of paper is the best to use?
How exactly do I "transform" the paper model into an actual hard helmet that I can paint, etc? What are the processes and materials involved?
Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm not ashamed to ask because I'm a proud noob
I'm really excited about this project.
If anyone needs help with digital modeling, count on me. Hope you like the Iron Man movies I posted, there's a lot more stuff on my yt channel.
Thanks in advance,
Bernardo

latex is pretty durable if you leave it in a clump, but its not really light - i think Silicone is lighter but i could be wrong. it will need alot of maintaince tho because as latex gets older its starts to get brittle and/or saggy, so your going to need to make new boots every year or two if your planning on keeping this around a while and wearing it for various functions
