once again, I don't usually brag but I think I deserve an internet high five.

Very nice! I too am working on an arc reactor.

Here it is, the $5 solar powered arc reactor!

Yup, looks like garbage, but I'm working on it.

 

[Amasarac]

nice arc reactor but i would have to say mine is a little more realistic

That's a thing of beauty right there mate. Any chance there's a tutorial available, or did you just do it on the fly?

Good luck

does anyone know if it is possible to turn the L3X PDO into a pdf? or if there is one out there already?

I can save it as a pdf for you, I scaled it to 26cm though. The original was 28cm kinda big for my small asian head



Measure your head's height in cm and I can scale it for you as well.

my head is about 26cm tall according to my measurments. If i need it scaled differently after the first attempt, I come back to you for another try.. THANKS!!!

@M3MPHIS: you got PM!

 

[Starx]

has anyone actually built sharkheads neck file? just wondering if there is a reference picture out there.

 

[Farris]

After building the neck file, would it be possible to actually move your head around? Like in other armor (master chief and storm trooper) you have free movement of your head because usually it's a soft armor neck seal.

 

[bboyfresco]

yeah... good point



I'd say mold that and cast in in laytex or flexfoam even

 

[Prince NEO]

I was supposed to be the one to make and test it, but I've been way to busy with school and band and sewing and stagecraft, so if someone has a chance to try it, go for it.

 

[M3MPHIS]

the pep file I have (might be sharkhead's) looks like it would take a lot of modification after fiberglass to make it possible to move your head.... I'm still working on the helmet pep right now so maybe when that is finished I can contribute some more info.



The last ironman costume I did (see avatar) had a flexible foam neck piece. I am thinking about a segmented plastic neck seal for the next go around.



purgedsoul: THANK YOU!!!

 

[Farris]

Then I suppose I'll look at doing a latex neck. Not sure how well a segmented plastic one would hold up. This suit doesn't seem like it would really be wearable without at least a few flexible pieces.

 

[M3MPHIS]

one of the other members on these forums (masterlee?) has made two very nice full suits and has posted somewhere (can't remember where) a .gif of a flexible piece of his armor and it looks to be made of plastic. I'm thinking somthing along those lines MIGHT work....

 

[Starx]

Thats what i was going to try for the stomach. Kind of attach the pieces in the rear by the spine and leave a pivot of sorts so they line up ontop of eachother when needed but sink into behind eachother when bending over or something. I havent gotten around to it just yet.
