Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Progress has been slow. Mainly because I ran out of foam. But I just bought more and it arrived. I hope to get started again soon. Just want to sell my old suit so I can use manny to hold pieces as I build them.

Glad ta see ya haven't given up on this build. Lookin ' forward ta updates Jordan.

Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Helmet Pics!!! - 3/13

Just like to apologize for the lack of updates.

I have more foam now. Just trying to sell off my old suit so my manny is free to put finished foam pieces on.. I am running out of shelf space to put the stuff I finish.

I did however purchase one of those Iron Man 2 - 2 part masks that a couple other brothers on the site here have used.. I plan on heavily modifying it and using it with my foam build.

I got the toy helmet. But it isn't working out for me the way I'd like. I decided instead to pep the helmet. I've done this 5 or 6 times and never finish. This time i plan on finishing the helmet. This is a heavily modified pep file that I used. I will add ears, grooves, etc.. after the hardening, bondo, rondo, yalondo stage.. LOL

Thanks guys! And big thanks to Paul. Wouldn't be able to do any of this without your mad modeling skills.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

Small update. I laid down some serious resin to the outside and plan on putting a bit more on the inside of each piece tonight of the helmet. Will post pictures tonight. Each piece is holding its shape quite well now. I will be slush casting smooth cast 300 on the inside as I do with all my peps. I have ordered some other products that I am going to experiment with but we'll see how that goes.

Looks good Jordan! How many pepped helmets is this now? haha i can't keep track, it seems like you've done so many! but they get better each time, so good job!
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

This is like my 5th or 6th.. but I plan on finishing this one all the way.. and not wimping out and selling it like I've done in the past. Thanks! :)
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

cool jordan...glad you're continuing this. :)
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

Only set back is that bondo will not cure properly for me or even stick to the foam rubber. I am lost on that.
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

when you say taht the bondo will not cure properly, are you meaning when you mix it for the pep or just for the foam?
 
Re: EVA Foam Mark VI Iron Man Build - Pepped Helmet Pics!!! - 4/17

by the way your pep did come out great. looking forward to seeing it hit completion as I thouroghly enjoy watching your builds

I'll help you figure something out. Are still thinking about using Slick Sand for the foam armor?
