WOW!!! Those look amazing, dude! You must be a master carpenter.

[Iron Man]

WOOO. Puts that shelf I made out of wood to shame. LOL Nice Armor Dude

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you make the wooden molds? They look fantastic and some information on the process would be great - they look machined as the finish is so smooth?

Correct me if I am wrong, but is that the Hasbro Iron Man helmet?

[levican]

Hi, thanks for complements. The helmets was home sculpted, as you can see in the first pic.
I use MDF 30.0mm thickness, glue to have the right work area for sculpting. Right now, I'm working on the first copy of the armor. Helmet made of fiber glass, to body will sue ABS plastic (more cheap than FG)
New pics soon!!

You better make several of these ... and send me one

awesome stuff!!

[Skor]

Ah, yes I can see the layers of MDF now I look closely - How long did it take to sculpt those? I can imagine mayself spending a month alone on the bicep, then taking out too much in a pass and having to bondo it back up! :P

[levican]

I take two months. boots and neck left to do, on this week I think. Cheers!
