Hi guys and gals, we'll my latest project has been a bit of a hush hush until I revealed my blog 3 weeks ago.
So I've been working on an Iron Man helmet, from the movie.

I started off by making the helmet from card, using a Pepakura model. If you'd like the Pepakura model then check out the 405th.com forum and search for a Iron Man helmet made by Sharkhead.
Once constructued I then resined the outside and fiberglasses the inside. This makes it insanely strong.
I then dremelled out the face plate.
I then used lots of car body filler to mold the curves and detail. This is what takes up the time, and being a perfectionist means it takes even longer.
Once this is done I used multiple coats of primer to show off imperfections which I rectified.
Then paint and laquer to protect and I'm done.

The face plate comes off and is held on with magnets, but I'd like to install a hinge but haven't found anywhere in the UK to buy them.

If anyone has any questions then please leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer them.


Jonathan

Hi, I might be making one of those after my final exam, so I've some question before making:
Did you bondo the exterior of the helmet or just resin it?
How much gsm of the paper did you use?

BTW, nice helmet!

Awesome job! What kind of magnets did you use for the face plate?

I used neodymium magnets on one side, and a thin metal plate on the other.

The foam is attached to the helmet. So it's comfortable when I wear it.
