It's done. Finally. After two years. I finish the body work, paint the helmet, and install all the electronics to make it open up and have the eyes glow. Music by Robocatpat: / robocatpat Artificial.Music: / artificial-music
March 23, 2002. Ronald Finger you master mind it all comes together for the Pontiac. I cannot wait until you finish that car you’re doing such a awesome job and hope to see it in person one day. Keep doing what makes you happy!
Thank you for using my music in your video, Ronald! I'm so glad to be heard alongside Robocatpat, as her work in it is absolutely stellar! Seriously, her stuff sounds better than mine in the context - it's absolutely perfect for background video usage. My stuff tries too hard to take center stage. dx Really neat thought process with your touchups! I'd have ever thought to hand paint on the spraypaint. I love how the intricate painting process relied on the body itself. The finished helmet is absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad you chose to make it wearable, that little movement is extremely satisfying to watch. I could watch it on repeat for hours. c: I'm so glad you chose to use my stuff for the glamour shots in the end, it's very rewarding to see it alongside the beauty of the helmet. You know, my favourite thing about art is considering the process and thinking that an artist applies to ultimately create it. The watered down black paint application, which some creators may have disliked, is an absolutely beautiful touch and I'm glad you decided to add that depth to the piece! That kinda thing is what's rewarding about art, seeing these little details and decisions that make you unique. Keep being awesome, man!
Not sure if any one commented on this already, but when you get that hazy finish after spraying a varnish coat in high humidity, instead of sanding down and redoing everything you can simply respray the varnish after the humidity dies down and it gets rid of the haze and offers a nice, clear finish.
Nice job, man. You're clearly smart and creative. I would love to see the details on the evolution of the servo faceplate design. The failed designs are part of the journey. I've learned a bunch from your videos, just like I have from ILTMS and other makers. Please keep putting out videos.
Congrats dude! That's sick looking helmet. Screen accurate too! I've been working on a mark 43 gauntlet for over two years now which I finished in time for Infinity War 😂 I 'm planning on building a helmet and it's really cool seeing you finish yours! 👌🏼
I started watching the fiero series, then this iron helmet one, then, etc,etc....I like your style, you are a smart kid......pls. get a better microphone.... subscribed.....👍🏼
The paint didn't wrinkle because of finger oils, it wrinkled because you applied the clear too soon after you painted the red. The red may have been dry, but it was not cured. The solvents form the clear caused it to bubble.
Outstanding work once again Mr. Finger! Yes now do the whole suit, finish the Fiero, and do a video where Ironman drives up and saves your girlfriend in distress! You are a super hero, after all!
I like your videos mate but I lowkey find it funny that you have 181k subs but only 62k views. Love your work along with this cool edits at the start and in between your cuts.
Thank you! I had less than 2000 subscribers when this video was released. The only reason people are subscribed now is because of the Fiero series. Not many go back and watch my old stuff.
@@RonaldFingerwell I sub because the Fiero series and did go back and am watching your old stuff. its sick as. I love your work man keep it going and don't change it.

Awesome build, I'm actually doing a full scale mk43 armour and this stuff helps a ton! I am curious though, what kind of spray paints did you use for this?
still a nice project after 2 years! I did not quite got the needed materials for the electronics in the video could you share with me the list for the electronics needed?
I would have painted everything black after the primer, then silver and masked off the parts that were to be gold. then done the red parts, mask then spray gold. that way all the colours would have poped more and the silver cheeks would have been easier to do as the second base coat is silver.6.6V would be LiFe battery not LiIon or LiPo at 7,4V
I liturally DON'T see the problem it looks supurb the proportions look spot on and the trigonometry and symetry look acurate, i would say i don't like this modifycation. i prefere the original helmut design seen in the original film, but that comes down to taste, well done
I'm super sorry to keep bothering you, I'm just super novice art electronics. Other than the pro micro board, servo, hinges, and power supply what else would one need to achieve an opening and closing face plate? Also I molded a jaguar snout to my iron manface plate which I can inbox a picture of, was wondering do you think the 20mg servo will be enough to lift the face plate? Thank you for any advice you can share and super thank you for making this video or was greatly appreciated and well needed.
Helmet looks great, but man shouldn't you be wearing some kind of eye protection and mask to fight against those fumes and sanding particles? Gotta be safe to do this stuff as long as you can!
Fantastic build, good tip on the oil from fingers, or Finger, haha do you have your plans available to share so I could print, you have a good design there?
There has to be a way to make this so the eyes glow, but you can still see out of it. The eyes need to glow for a proper Ironman helmet, but a wearable helmet that you can't wear (because you can see anything) seems pointless.
You can see out of this helmet, though. I never said you couldn’t in the video. There’s a balance of having a high thread count mesh creating an even glow with poor visibility and a low thread count with great visibility. This helmet is in the middle of the two, but probably leaning toward the lower visibility. Experimenting with different fabrics can lead to the best choice, but I am more than happy with how this is. As I explained in the video, it lives out 99% of its life on a shelf as a display piece, so the visibility ultimately isn’t a big enough of a factor for me to tear up the insides and test things out. More than anything, however, if someone made something that makes them immensely happy and proud, it’s not pointless.
So awesome! Can I purchase the faceplate servo kit from you? Are you willing to share the hinge files (STL), or sell them? How about the eyes? Please let me know, I have really enjoyed your videos, and they are very helpful!
Okay! It had something to do with what was on my hands at least. The places it wrinkled were the only contact marks my skin was touching it when I carried it out to the barn. But I think it’s more important to the viewers that the surface of whatever they’re painting needs to be clean and I think that was conveyed.
Can you share your information on how to make this build. I want to try and build this(admittedly rushing last minute) to make to take my daughter for her first Halloween
I'm not sure what more you want me to share. I started this build from the 3D modeling phase and covered 3D printing and arguably the most important step, finishing them with bodyfiller and whatnot. Is there something you missed in the series that wasn't covered?
Ronald Finger sorry I should have been more detailed. I meant as far as the electronics and hinge system go. Was there specific design/system/schematics used?
Ronald Finger I would really love a write up/video(preferably) of the electronics portion. I’ve seen a ton of Iron Man masks and this hinge system has been my favorite so far. Incredible work, I’m inspired!!!!!
