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!!

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.cut #1.pngCut #2.png

I remember these files being particularly annoying to track down but its a .rar archive with the file I used along with some other more detailed ones from other creators. Credit is given in the files themselves. Enjoy!!!
