Hello 405thers. I was recently commissioned to make an Iron Man Mk. III helmet and I wanted to share my progress with you. The client didn't want the most detailed helmet in the world, he just wanted a nice helmet to display in his man cave. So he and I settled on the IronMansmallchin helmet file by Samuray. As I said, it's not the most detailed pep file out there, but it is a nice helmet over all.
I have been working on this for about three weeks off and on. It's starting to come together nicely. Here it is after two coats of resin on the outside and two coats of Rondo on the inside. You can also see that I have sanded down the seams with the sanding bit and a flex shaft on the dremel.
I then started applying filler to the top of the helmet and sanding with 80 grit to knock it down to an even layer.
More sanding and filling.
Here it is after it's first coat of primer.
Yet more sanding and filling, but this time I switched to 180 grit.
Second coat of primer. You can see it starting to smooth out pretty good now.
Now onto the spot putty and 320 grit.
