saw this one on youtube and it amazed me... just thinking though how'd he did the face plate mechanics... after seeing this one, i might have to join the ironman crew after i finish my hayabusa armor...

This guy gets on a lot of peoples nerves, because he's done some cool modifications and shows them off but doesn't share how he did it.

Also there's some controversy over his "sculpted" Iron Man helmet.
 
I do not know the controversy but I can say one thing. He does awesome work. I did send him a message and if he replies that would be great. He gets on people nerves because he doesn't tell his secrete. If he tells his secrete then what he does can be copied and then it is no longer special. I can respect his wanting to keep something to himself. No one says we have to share our work. I do but we don't have to. In my opinion it is his right and regardless his work is great.

that it was pepped, which means that someone else did the modeling. hes a member here, but it seems like hes either dropped off the grid, or just refuses to answer anyones messages. doesnt matter tho, his tech is to sweet. if you look thru his videos on his youtube channel, you can see the motorized arm missile he was working on too. first time ive seen something like that actually come off of the drawing board phase. also, you might want to contact TMP over on therpf.com. he was planning on offering the motorized face / eyes combo with his helmet kits. i dont know if thats started happening yet or not.
 
Let's see.



He used the dungbeetle pep file but takes credit for it being a complete free hand sculpt. Now there are so many helmets that have the same characteristics



I've seen this guy take credit for other stuff aswell

Like compression articulation like he invented it.



From my own experience with him he's offered help but when I approached him he's ignored me. I never went to him for Advice so he shouldn't have offered help publicly to look like a nice guy.



He also later stated that pepping takes no skills and I should try to do things free hand like him. Which is funny because one of his videos has a pepped hyabusa in the backround.



He also has been known to go back to forums and cover his tracks by deleting posts or editing them once he's called out on something.

I've seen the proof with my own eyes



In a nutshell

Cool stuff but bad attitude. He get on people nerves because he lies then has a freak out when someone calls him out on it rather than handle it like an adult.



Only joins forums for himself.



Also recenly just ripped some guy of $380 for a helmet.



One big bag of shadiness



If your friends with him.



That's cool but you can't deny what's going on.
 
yeah by the looks on the helmet my first thought was it's dungbeetles pep file...



i never knew he has a lot of controversies... hmmm.. i'm very intrigued on what he has done on his helmet... might want to use that someday for future reference...

i dont want to buy stuffs here and there... im very much challenged on how to make one and somewhat fulfills me if i successfully make one and something to be proud of...
 
i swear that that guy is the king of Iron man Armour, i have seen other pics of his awesome armour.
 
i think i found the answer on the faceplate lifts...

been searching on google for motorized parts and it leads me to servo's...

just attach some hinges on the end and you have a motorized faceplate for ironman helm... just an idea though... hopefully this'll help anyone trying to have their faceplate automatic...
 
Yeah I'm already working on this with servos at the moment. I'm just waiting on some parts to come in from hong Kong before I have something to show everyone
 
A quick look at his video and I think I see his hinge mechanism. Take a look at the middle piece right between the two golden "horns". It moves differently then the helmet. My guess is there is a hinge at that seam and one more higher up. When his face plate opens that little hinge piece stands up lifting the visor which also rotates due to gravity or a spring or a cam system (take your pick). I should do a frame by frame to see for sure but that is my initial impression.



Edit: OK frame by frame says the center piece is not moving but his earlier videos show a wobble in the faceplate while moving. The wobbles rotation is centered just above the eyes in the middle of the forehead. His mechanism is there. It looks like his hindge is a two peice mechanism. One peice to push the mask our then another that slides. A single wire like a bike hand brake or shifter setup to push would do this if the hinge had very limited motion.

I would have to agree Ive seen a lot of things from lee that I dont agree with even on the dented helmet forums, however I know he has talent but he is a bit of a show off, but since I dont ever deal with him or no him personally those are his issues.

Hi Guys!!!



As I´ve told in another thread I did my own working system for my motorized helmet, as I showed in youtube, rpf and superherohype forums. Please don´t hesitate about asking, feel free if anyone of you can not understand my work ;)

Good work to all and keep the skies clear!!!!

nice work on your iron man helm... very smooth faceplate action...



EDIT: Been reading all of your thread and there's a lot of information on how you did the faceplate servo's... thanks man. i just need to find a store here that sells that stuffs... hope i'll be lucky.



just wondering though... where's your switch to make it open and close? in your video it just open and closes but your hands are free...

Try here Raziel http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_index.asp



There is where I used to buy my RC stuff. The servo I am using is a futaba FP-S148, any simillar would be fine (the smaller the better :D )



There is a small trick, this was a prototype, I was using my RC transmitter XD



Later I´ll use a small switch, voice recognition is yet too far I guess but I want to...

i dont know if its available here in the Philippines... maybe i'll check some RC stores here first...

The issue to overcome with servos is that they operate via something called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). In order to to use the servo without the R/C controller, you'll have to find or design a controller that can send the appropriate PWM signal to the servo. You could probably use something like an Arduino, but it's likely too big.



Here's a guide about how servos work, hope it helps: http://www.make-digital.com/make/vol19/?pg=142

Nobody needs to bother about that, I´ve found, build and tested the next scheme, and it´s fully operational ;)



I´ve used this circuit, one for each futaba s148 servo, I added some minors mods to have a bigger wide in the servo movemnt:



Simple servo controller



servotester.th.png




Description

This cicuit allows you to test a servo. The angle of the servo can be set by means of the 10k potmeter.

Perhaps you will not be able to reach all positions with this circuit. Playing with other resistors may help.



Partlist

1 x 555 timer IC

1 x BC547 transistor

1 x 10k Ohm potentiometer (mod with 50k)

2 x 10k Ohm resistors

2 x 100nF condensators

1 x 220k Ohm resistor

1 x 15k Ohm resistor (mod with another 15k resistor in parallel)



You can feed the circuit with 6v maximum.





I didn´t implement yet the swift circuit, by the moment is manually changed with the pot.



Hope it helps!
