Funny thing is I've never used clay I'm not even sure I could to it, but bondo just easy to me as long as I have a base

I know what you mean there buddy. Having a Pepakura base takes so many of the headaches out of costume and prop making. This IM helmet is proving that.

thanks well I havent spent that much money on this mostly just time, gallon of bondo 13$ and card stock 5$ and hours of sanding, which by the way is not complete I was looking it over last night and there are some issues that I need to fix before I make a mold so back to work after this nasty weather passes, it snowed 13 in where I live yesterday and then was gone that night, its like spring and winter are duking it out.


also I was able to find an idea for the front face plate to open at home depot

[Achille]

I am the Iron Woman!!!

 

[pooper]

Nice! My girlfriend got a kick out of the Ironwoman bit!

Anyway, as soon as you make molds and casts, I'm interested on getting my hands on one!

 

[timecon]

ok i edited my wifes little joke, and if i'm going to do ironwomen it wont have a girly hat.
anyways I completed my ironman helmet and it is ready to be molded, I changed a few things today after looking at some reference pics for awhile I wasnt happy but now I am and here are a few pics of the change and the final.

This is really awesome man! I'm making the right arm and I'm currently working on the electronics for a mock jet booster. Can't wait to see it done.

 

[Skupilkinson]
