'what is the plastic ring called

[wastubbs]

I think that's a rubber "washer" from a candle lid, from his description on page 1. They put them in the lids of the jars to make an airtight seal. So just get yourself a candle and pull the washer out.

Am I only one being to literal considering this not to be an accurate arc reactor since it doesn't produce its own power? Besides that, the final product looks really nice. You should put it on a stand like Pepper did.

[jm121]

i looked for a display case but could not find one so i put this is on ebay. the bid is still on as we speak

[Guardians38]

your selling these?

[Ward_Nox]

[jm121]

Where did you get the LED light?

[jm121]

i stopped at a gas station in vegas and found a two pack for $9.99 they are different than the dot it it can get dimmer its pretty cool.

[Honus]

Looks great! I've been thinking about making one of these. For people complaining about accuracy, here's a pic of one of the movie prop arc reactors- it's a complicated piece and would be quite a bit of work to duplicate.

[paul030176]

That's not the one that lights up on his chest. That one is for close up shots (like this). It's good reference though.

[jm121]

hey paul030176 how the heck do you know all this

[jm121]

thats the pic i tried to work off of he is wright it is not easy at all

[jm121]
