Iron Man Movie Helmet Build - travsall - 06-04-2008
Here's a project I've been workin on for a little bit now, fiberglass copy of Iron Man's helmet from the movie. Got the blank on the RPF, one of THE nicest castings I've ever recieved too barely any touch up work was needed, just the trimming and sanding, it was pristine! So that made it just fantastic to work with! Was a hell of a fun project too! Here's how it came, right outta the box<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Then after t he first couple hours trimming and sanding and fixing the seam on the back plate<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im5.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/im6.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

I'd also like to know. Batman and Ironman have been a couple of favorites of mine since I was a kid, so I'd love to know how to get ahold of a kit like this and HOPE it comes out as nice as all of yours do!

Thanks guys! The kit was $215 on the RPF, just drop the guy a line if you want one, great guy to deal with!
