Foam Ironman Mk Vi

[Ram620]

Hello everyone!! Ive been busy with school and building aarmor.

I went ahead and made two more tester helmets because i wasnt happy with the size.
The default size is 262 cm but my final helmet is 257, which is actually a big size difference

I assembled the helmet in two-ish days and resined it yesterday. Today I used Rondo for the first time It was easier and funner than I thought. :3
Anyways heres some pics of my progress:

Let me know what you think.
Also I was planning on cutting out the faceplate to make a hinge system..Does anyone know the best way to cut it out???
I was planning on doing something like this:

Ill be fiberglassing tomorrow so ill try n get some more photos up

Thanks for any advice or critiques

Although it's crooked, it looks great. Looks like he has a grimace.
Shouldn't be too difficult to fix though once you cut the faceplate off (if you're planning to cut the faceplate off).

Also, the best way to cut it is with a dremel.

Are you using a modified Sharkmark helmet for your testers?

Thanks JayOneSevan


Yes Dorvack

Hey awesome people!! I'm very sorry for not posting more offen. I've been really busy trying to get done before halloween. I did skimp on some details, but it was necessary to complete the suit. So I fiberglassed two layers on the helmet and continued coating the armor with glue. Then, I bondoed the outside of the helmet and got it as smooth as I could with one layer of bondo. I'm satisfied because I've never worked so hard on a armor peice and completed it I then painted it and, well, Ill just show some pictures

I tried my best to get progress picture but, I offen forgot

This is the dremel tool I used to cut the helmet peices:

Looking great overall. Nice seeing it all come together.

Out of interest what sizes were the bicep sections you have?
