W.I.P. Iron Man 3 - Mark 39 "Gemini"

[Ninovoa]

Hey guys, I'm building one of the legion armors from Iron Man 3. Though this armor had virtually no screen time (at least none that I noticed) this helmet has become one of my favorites.

Edit: The pep file was unfolded by MiddleFinger and can be found here.

Here are some pictures. People like pictures.

This is my main reference picture (not much to work from : /)





All pepped up and ready to take resin



First coat of resin


First coat of resin dried up


Then I reinforced the inside with fiberglass mats


This is the helmet fully reinforced with fiberglass. It doesnt look much different but I thought I should include it anyways.

Next step: cut out faceplate and start bondo/smoothing process.

Lastly, I would like some input from the community on this one. This helmet is like the others where it doesn't fit over your head unless you make a removable piece. Because there isn't much known the Mark 39 armor I have to decide what piece should be removable. What piece should I make removable? I was thinking I should make the jaw held in by magnets to make it the removable piece. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

More to come soon!!

Minor Update. I cut the faceplate out along with the eyes. I also began with the bondo.

This doesn't happen to be my unfold of the helmet does it? Either way, it looks like you're off to a good start!

This looks great so far, nice work. i am also working on making the full suit and I am using the same helmet file (Thanks to this thread to find it). I also was wondering where I should cut it. I had one idea that I will attach a picture of but after reading your post i think the jaw may work better. The lines in purple are Is where i would cut it out. Keep in mind i drew this in that car so its not that straight but you should roughly get an idea of what i mean.

Man i wish i had the time and skill to make that, the gemini has always been my favorite suit. how long has that taken you?

 

[Nhatz]

maybe a week or two then what takes me long is the honeycomb pattern on that.
