Cheers fellas! :)

Today I cut the guts out of the front plate and fabricated my own from a piece of pipe and some flat steel strips welded and bent.

Tonight, drawing up a paper template to mark holes to be drilled around the circumference of the front ring. The movie accurate one has elongated slots, but I only have a drill, not a mill so my holes will simply be round.

Hey, isn't this the guy I saw on TV that made one of these in a cave in Afghanistan out of scrap war surplus stuff while bleeding internally and being tortured or something? Wasn't that a documentary?
Your famous!

Yep, except that I'm now dying from the particles emitted by the palladium core of my arc reactor..... :P

Arc reactor front ring punched and ready for drilling. Sometimes I wish I had some decent machinery to do all this, but it's kind of cool to see how well I can do with hand tools and hand-held power tools.

IMAGE: http://i.imgur.com/Q9NNXaO.jpg

Holes drilled. A bit of polishing and some socket heads and it's ready to go on the front of the reactor.

IMAGE: http://i.imgur.com/B7rmRqv.jpg

Trying to remain constructive at work after everyone else has gone home. Lots of waiting for the public to leave the park before locking up. Sure beats wasting time watching the idiot box. Got another hand plate, the second boot and part of a collar plate cut out. Using aviation snips buckles the sheet steel no end, but I'll planish it back out on the anvil.

IMAGE: http://i.imgur.com/H1YXdno.jpg

Assembly nearly complete. Still to go: drill out the bottom of the reactor and install power and lighting. I think I'm going to re-do the little square transformers around the outside before I wrap them in copper wire.

You just have to create a new element, it's easy for you :D

I was thinking something like "Unobtainium" but Bazzidium fit perfectly :lol:

To the OP, keep up you excellent work, it's very impressive !

Bazidium. I like it. Can I paten't that? :P

Here's today's work.

Making progress on the second boot.

Cut the bottom out of the body to allow for the bight and power going in later, then lined the inside of the reactor with a metal tape specially designed to reflect spectrum in laboratories. Good to know people in the game. You can see already what the tape is doing to the sunlight hitting it. Once I have lighting in there, it should bounce around like a bastard.

Making the little transformers for the particle accelerator on the front of the arc reactor.

Starting to fit transformers on the reactor.

What a piece of work is your A.R.
For the next movie, they should call you to make the new suit ;)

What do you think of THIS for a nuclear power source? :P
