Below is the basic process in a nutshell of how I shaped each piece and gave it more roundness. When the fiberglass stage is complete, you will have a strong piece but still geometric looking. Style Line Soft Sanders Sanding Blocks (Made it easier to sand than w/ traditional sanding blocks).Body Filler Spreaders (I liked the metal ones better than plastic).U-POL Onion Board Multi Layered Mixing Palette (Made for easy clean up of body filler).Automotive body filler ( Evercoat 112 Rage Gold Premium Lightweight Body Filler sanded very well compared to other brands).I am simply documenting the methods I used from all the wonderful resources out there on there net.Īutomotive Body Filler on Fiberglassed Helmet Materials I used for this stage: I’ll caveat that all these techniques or methods are by no means my own and I have learned from many great people out there. Start to finish took me about 8 months during my free time. This was the first serious costume I ever made and it was a lot of learning through the entire process. I have always loved the look and concept of Tony Stark’s Stealth armor. This post outlines everything I did to create my first Iron Man suit with a motrized faceplate/helmet. August is the hottest month for Fawn Creek with an average high temperature of 91. After reviewing, there is still a lot of stuff I could have wrote about so if any of you have any questions, please feel free to comment and some time in the future I will be posting up more details about stages I feel need more detail. In Fawn Creek, there are 3 comfortable months with high temperatures in the range of 70-85°. I surprisingly won one of the Grand Prize slots with this write up! Now that I have established my own blog, I am migrating this post onto here. I originally made this post in 2012 for the 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
