Thanks for the feedback Drack. since i want this last project to be good I decided im going to remake it scaled down. I found a helmet tester to use to get the sizing just right and i also found some comments on another post that were very helpful. Here is the helmet tester if anyone needs it...

so its been a week or 2 since an actual update so this will be pic heavy. im basically done with the foam ironman helmet but i have a complaint...i think it may be too big? it just feels like i have too much room when i put it on and feel like its too long and it shouldve been smaller, what do...

I LOVE FOAM!!!!! its soooo much easier to work with. But i have some bad new for anyone hoping to see my Deadmau5 build...i broke my Phones screen so now i have to pay a $100 insurance deductible so im not gonna have any money to but supplys for my Mau5 build :( Good news is that im actually...

I personally havent tried vacuum forming but from all the builds ive seen people make their visors from regular transparent plastic sheets and after they form them, they tint them with spraypaint-like automotive window tint. i cant find any great links that go into detail but Heres an ODST visor...

looking really good Larrikin makes me want to start on a mark 6 myself but i already have to much on my plate :P .Also you should at least resin the visor 1 once if you do plan on vacuum forming so that it keeps its shape,and personally recommend you "rondo" the inside instead of using...

Thanks Thorn one of the main reasons i decided to enlist because of the brotherhood and comradery. I already have my sphere rondoed. I did fail to notice a dent that i made when i set the sphere down dry but thats nothing a little bondo can fill, but i am going to try and sanding it down like...

Thanks man I cant wait to see more progres on your suit. Im still trying to get comfrotable with Foam but i got all my pieces cut out so im hoping to get my helmet all put together this weekend.

its easier to reenforce with the paper visor then you can just cut it out later. For example if you plan to "Rondo" the inside you can just pour it in and cover the entire inside then afterwards when its all hardened you can just cut out the visor and use it to vacume form a plastic visor or put...

First off I apologize for the long post and small pictures i dont know why they posted so small sorry. So hey guys it been a while since i actually posted maybe since september maybe? But anyways im working on 2 main things right now to keep myself busy because at the end of next month ill be...

Wasnt sure where i would ask for templates for foam builds...but could you guys point me to threads or files for foam templates? not really looking for specific files just looking for templates to see what would be worth building. thanks in advance ;)

Also thank you RTGCBT for posting the sphere Pep and thanks Naughty_Lemur for requesting it :D...its just helped me out with my deadmau5 build that ive been wanting to do. it knocked off like 2 steps.

thanks koshima i dont think i have the skill or patients for that though:P maybe one day ill build up the courage.

those look pretty sick man, im going to see him the 27th his Meowington hax tour. and im debating weather or not to make a mau5head for it.

Good luck man i also started building an IronMan not too long ago and im on the Bondoing stage. if you dont mind me giving you a tip, i suggest you "rondo" the inside. its easier and the finished product is better, i fiberglassed the inside of mine and it came out ok but it coulda been...
