Each generation of children has its own heroes. Fantomas performed by Jean Marais, beauty Mahone played by Madonna, Batman, Stanley Ipkiss from the movie The Mask. Iron Man, the character from the trilogy, the third part of which has recently been released, continued this list.

Like all famous movie heroes, this savior of humanity captured the minds of the kids, for whom the blockbuster was filmed. He is dressed in a special suit that protects the main antagonist, an international terrorist and, in general, the villain Mandarin from damaging factors. The main element of the vestment is the mask. Iron Man in general, and his head in particular, are securely hidden behind heavy-duty armor.

Needless to say, the owner of a fancy dress that creates the image of a favorite movie character will always be in the spotlight at every children's party or carnival. And the greater the similarity, the better.

The scheme of the iron man mask, that is, its scan, is quite affordable for manufacturing, but in order for it to turn out to be tough enough and give the impression of metal, one paper, evenvery dense, will not be enough. For the manufacture will require impregnation, preferably polyester resin. Epoxy is better not to use, it is harmful to he alth. You will also need paint, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue and some tools (scissors, tweezers, an awl, a stationery knife).

Having cut out the scan, first of all, you should check its size, some manufacturers of this printed product are guided by the manufacture of their product, for an adult. It is easy to figure out in which places the mask should be reduced if necessary. Iron Man, at least in our country, is still a childish character.

The lower jaw is either performed separately or abolished, this is at the request of the manufacturer. From the inside, the glued three-dimensional scan is covered with resin in two or three layers to make it hard. After treatment, the solvent must be allowed to dry out, preferably within a few days, to eliminate the unpleasant chemical odor.

The iron man mask made of cardboard is initially more rigid, but less realistic, since when using this material it is difficult to achieve rounded shapes characteristic of superhero attire. However, this method also has its merits. Labor and time costs are significantly reduced and unpleasant fumes are eliminated. When working with cardboard, in addition to PVA glue, you will need a stapler and stationery clips.

Now about what color the mask should be. Iron man is, of course, iron, butthe shades of the metal coating are quite complex. The front is golden bronze and the back is red. You can get by with ordinary gouache or acrylic, but a mask covered with automotive enamel will look really impressive. Spray cans with it are available and are relatively inexpensive. In addition, in this case, you can use the color "metallic" and avoid warping of the cardboard caused by the presence of moisture in gouache or acrylic paint. Remember to work either outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Enamel thinner evaporates quickly, it is important not to inhale it while painting.

The mask is ready. Your baby will become a real hero of the day!
