The next step in building the iron man helmet was to add bondo to the entire outside. After sanding the entire helmet and roughing up the fiberglass, I slowly added bondo to one face at a time. I would apply it, then smooth out the edges using a knife before it fully dried, then sanded it all until it was very smooth. I was basing it off of a tutorial I found here which gave great tips on how to put on the bondo, and also how to make the rest of the helmet. After sanding the bondo, I then used a dremel tool to clear out the detail lines. I also then cut out the face mask and the lowest two faces on the back of the helmet so I could fit my head in the helmet. I then wanted to keep sanding all of the pieces and add another layer of bondo, butI didn't have enough for a second coat. So what I came up with was applying two more layers of fiberglass resin to the outside. This smoothed out all of the bumps, but it didn't completely remove the major ones. It was a great help though. I could sand down the fiberglass much smoother because it was a liquid giving it a smoother covering. At this point I bought an electric sander which helped smooth it out tremendously. When dremeling out the face plate and back, another thing I did was cut out the inner layer of the ears. This gave my ears much more room and I also cut an opening in the back of the ear that you can see in the picture above. This allowed me to slide the helmet on and off much easier The next step, which you can see I started on the back piece above, was to prime the entire helmet. This allowed me to see all the little divots and dents. I would then sand away as much as I could and then prime it again. I did this two or three times. As you can see, there are a lot of rough patches. After a few rounds of sanding and priming, I took the bondo that I had left and filled it only into the divots. This smoothed only the bumps and then I could sand that down to get a very smooth result. Once I sanded down all the bondo, I added one more layer of primer to finish it off. This is the helmet after it was sanded multiple times and then with one final coat of primer.

AuthorMy name is Nathan and I enjoy building and creating things, weather it be out of wood, paper, or even on the computer. I want to start recording all of the fun things so this is where I am. Why Does this existI have recently started to play with Blender. A 3D modelling and design software. I have also built several costumes and helmets which I will be posting future ones up here. This site is mostly about that and other projects I might have.
If you're interested in this stuff...So I use a program called blender which is a great opensource modelling program. This allows you to model, and also animate and ever program games. Its a great program to use as there are endless possibilities.
http://www.blender.org Another useful site is for the helmets and such that I make. This is from a papercraft design program called Pepakura. It allows you to print out designs to build whatever you want. There are tons of tutorials online to see how to use it. http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ Archives
