The next step of the Iron Man helmet is to fiberglass it. I spent two days fiber glassing it using just resin and matting from the hardware store. I started out by adding a coat of resin to the entire inside and outside. Then I added two layers of fiberglass strips to the inside of the helmet. Lastly I added one more layer of resin to the outside. This made the helmet very strong and durable. The last thing I did was use gorilla glue to put the ears in place.

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
