You thought about possible doing a run of these? I am sure there would be interest. oh and did you ever upload the pep files for this?
Iron Man 2 Briefcase Build
- Thread starter AGFRX7
- Start date
I think a run would be an awesome idea and id love to get my hands on one
I think resin or FG would be the most popular choice but it would probably be faster and easier to maintain consistency with the vacuumed former. You might try posting an interest thread and seeing what the consensus would be.

Hey gang. I haven't given up on this build. I've just been terribly busy, not to mention I also started 3D printing a rocketeer rocketpack. So I'm just working on multiple projects at once. Stay tuned. I hope to be adding more progress of this build in the coming days.

I am looking into working on one of these as well. I have been looking for a case that I could put this as a facade on and have a functional briefcase. Just finding one that meets that dimensions with a robust hinge system that doesn't stick out a mile is a little difficult.

Well, I started printing up more parts today. So that's one piece of good news.
Also, I've decided that I will do a run of these to sell. They will be raw casts though, no finished builds. I plan on building the cast copies with a gel coat surface (catches the detail much better) then reinforced with multiple layers of fiberglass. The smaller components will be cast in Smooth-On resin. Without knowing the exact cost of materials, my rough guess will be anywhere between $300 and $400 a kit before shipping. The more people who are interested and place deposits (only when I am ready to make the mold) means I can sell them for the lower price. That silicone rubber isn't cheap stuff.
So keep an eye out as I keep building this prop.

Id be interested for sure, would it work as an actual briefcase or just be a replica?

It'll be hollow, so you could add hinges and make it totally functional. You'll just need to make a custom interior for whatever you wanna put inside.
