Minifig Ironman MK VII with open helmet and lights

thingiverse

After completing the Batman minifig, I was eager to tackle this one. Similar to the Batman build in terms of components but wiring presented a bit more complexity as power and switch required connection to the torso and helmet. Hips and arms were repurposed from Skimbals original minifig: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:170076 **Reflections on the LEDs:** The torso turned out great, offering ample space for wiring. However, the helmet proved more challenging. A 5mm LED (brightness: 900 mCd) functioned well inside the helmet and was encased in transparent superglue. Unfortunately, light intensity diminished significantly when transmitted through the relatively translucent eyes. If I were to print this again, I would opt for different LEDs to achieve a more uniform appearance.
