Definitely an improvement over the stock toy... and its going to be nice and bright! My buddy is a member of the RPF (Replica Prop Forum) They had a dollar store arc reactor contest that has some pretty cool entries.

Might give you some inspiration if you decide to give it another go.
Wow, those are pretty impressive work, especially for working with just stuff they could find at the Dollar Tree (I'm assuming those were the rules).
Next, I mark and cut out the hole.
I opted for a dremel instead of a hole saw for better control
Here it is mounted to the panel. Luckily, I kept it thin enough so that the door could still close just fine
It's still bright! I just wish I can take a clear photo with the Reactor light still on
Woah that looks awesome! Dang that's bright.
Nice! Now you just need to add random armor bulk all over the place. :D
Still trying to figure that one out.
Next I add some highlights, starting with stripes on the left
Remember my Matrix Mod?
I cut the right panel into several segments
Then, while wearing gloves, I bent it all back
Remember that mask in the beginning?
Then I laid out a coat of flat white spray paint
Then I used model paint for the mask
And then I use Silver too
And that looks great for how little time it took
Now I just have to make it stay there
Ooooh, I like the hole!....in your case...uuhhh...with the..uuhh..face in it..ok, i'm just gonna stop now. >_> <_<
I LOVE YOU!
this is truly awesome! If you ever sell it I may have to buy it off you :)
BTW watch the video for my glove mod, you may notice someone standing to the right guarding my television. Come Iron man 2's dvd release I'm gonna do my best to get a matching war machine for the other side :) :devious:
Thanks!
I added some mesh around the mask to give it more texture
Now, to light up the eyes
