Fierfek's Iron Man 3 Mark VIII Pepakura Files

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

I think the helmet as scaled is workable. I took a pen to those lines so you can see them better due to my lack of a good camera. Some warping has happened, but its definitely not out of the ordinary at this stage of the pep.

Ive already applied resin. (not showed in pics) Hopefully will FG today

You're off to a good start. Thanks for sharing the pics and I hope to see more progress.

I've scaled mine up an extra 2cm in width. I'm done with the cutting and will start the assembly tonight. I'll take some pics when done.

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

has anyone ever used joint filler over bondo? I just dont want to shell out the money for joint filler right now, and I plan to make casts of it anyways.

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

You mean the stuff you use around the home, filling cracks, coving etc?
I can't say I've ever used it, I suspect it'll just about do the job. It'll be a lot weaker, very brittle and easy to scratch.
They're more or less about the same price aren't they?

I could use it in my tiny apartment without death from the fumes, and the hardware store has a bunch of it for 2 bucks ahahahh.

Think it could stand up for a mold?

Here's my progress. The increased size is looking good. I'm working top down this time round.
I've left the middle of the back split open so its easier to slip on to test the fit.

I've seen many people here use joint compound, though I'm not sure that it's better than automotive filler. As long as your pep is properly fiberglassed before filling with joint filler, there shouldn't be any problems with molding.

Excellent work so far, I like how you have numbered your parts and have reference images handy. Keep up the good work.

Numbering the parts was quite the necessity since I cut all the pieces out first.

Yep. Definitely need this pep file.

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

Got the Pep more or less complete last night. Size looks pretty close to my other helmet. It's slightly wider at the moment, but I'll put in some supports inside to keep it narrower.
The jaw is a bit iffy as well, I might take a look at adding more supports there and enclosing it all so I can slush cast some polyurethane on the inside.

I'm glad you like it and it can be yours.

Great work and the scale looks fine. I would imagine that it would be more comfortable to wear with slightly wider proportions. I assure you though that the proportions are very close to accurate.

Have you assembled the ears yet to get an idea how they will look attached?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. As I mentioned earlier the file is now available, but will not be released for free. For more details check out my premium thread in the Junk Yard or send me a PM.

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

I started to slush cast the inside on Saturday, but found I had very little polyurethane so couldn't do much with it. I've order a 5kg supply so I'll continue this over the bank holiday weekend.

I havn't assmebled the ears yet either, I plan on using some Sintra/PVC sheeting to create them so they'll keep nice and straight.

Cool, keep up the awesome work and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Re: Fierfek's Iron Man Mark VIII Pepakura File

I got some work on this done this weekend. The inside is now re-enforced with polyurethane, and I've also smoothed the sharp Pep edges. There's more pictures on my blog, links in my sig.
