Tony Stark Arc Reactor - wearable
- Thread starter Zendragon
- Start date
This is me last Halloween as Tony. Then I wanted to see if my proportions were right so I placed it without attaching it to TMP's Mark III the day I received it. What do you think? Working on something really big in the modifications of the suit and will post it soon! Take care!

Does anyone have contact info for Russell Bobbitt? It seems he is the gentleman responsible for the lovely Arc Reactors/Chest RT's in Ironman.

Hello!
I made one wearable and bright. No wiring needed since it stays with magnets to the t-shirt.
The pics are from non-updated one, now it has more rings inside for accuracy.
Please visit http://www.therpf.com/f9/my-new-arc-reactor-98163/
I'm waiting for some order to put the updates on, since it's for sale on ebay...not cheap, sorry, amount of hours and not cheap materials...
Nevermind, I hope you like it!
See ya!

IRON MAN Tony Stark's Arc Reactor Replica Prop - eBay (item 120633126571 end time Oct-22-10 02:43:37 PDT)
I ordered one of these this week. It should be here in a week or two (from the UK). It looks great in the photos and the price is right, so i'm hoping it works out. I'll post pics in my foam build thread when it arrives.

Whatever happened to Hyperdyne's reactor project? He had a thread, at the JY, with a lightboard for LEDs. Not sure if it went somewhere.

I made these two. The first is a one-up and the second was from a kit I made a couple of years back.

Was wondering this too. Found this in the Member Ban Log thread.
"01.05.2011 - kaiwalkerz has been banned for sales related issues, respect issues, threatening legal actions"
JC, didn't realize you were a member here, but should have known... Bought your kit last year and it turned out great!

Very nice is that the kit on some website ? I forgot the link but I hope he's still selling kits I sent a email..
Seriously I wish I knew more details from kaiwalkerz, I'd really love to buy his kit from eBay but he hasn't responded to my msgs about pics worn and better pics of how it looks etc.. Like he doesn't want to show he is banned or something.. Worries me a bit but at least ebay and paypals protection is there.

Thanks mockle ,Wow in that thread I don't get how he got banned if in the end everything was resolved and the mods were ok with him.. I just don't want to buy something from someone that has been banned here, and not knowing the cause that could effect my purchase.. I wish there were more people selling arc kits =\
I made a (amateurish) wearable "Malibu" arc reactor a few years back. No pics available of the harness, but basically I made this:
Then I covered the back with electrically insulating plastic (read: cling wrap and electrical tape). Once that was done I used a large sized hose-clamp to attach two straps by their ends.
The straps were each:
- held at one end by the hose clamp
- went over my shoulder
- across my back
- under the armpit opposite the side it started
- and clamped to the reactor by it's opposite end
IMPORTANT: The straps came out of the hose clamp on the same side as the front of the arc reactor. This helps press the reactor against your chest.
It's a bit more complicated, because the straps were adjustable using back-pack strap accessories, and probably should have included push-clips for ease of use.
I then took a piece of white card stock, cut a hole the diameter of the reactor casing, carefully taped that to the inside of the shirt in the exact spot the arc reactor went, then cut out (most) of the material in the hole, folded the material at the edges over in through the hole, glued them in place, and cracked a beer.
The card stock keeps the shirt crisp and smooth(ish) there, and sits on top of the straps, giving the illusion that your chest starts less than an inch from the front of the reactor. But you can look into the reactor and see it goes deeper.
Quick, cheap, dirty, and my first real RPF build.
