Following is my Instructable on how I created a replica of the gift that Pepper Potts gave to Tony Stark in the film Iron Man. My replica is composed of various parts from kits bought online to completely from scratch made parts.

This is a lengthy instructable, and requires wiring, soldering, gluing, and painting. Overall difficulty is moderate but I think most people with basic crafting know how can accomplish this build. I recommend reading the entire Instructable to get an idea of what all is involved before starting your build. The most important aspect throughout the build is to always dry fit and check assembly of each piece before final assembly. Very little about this build is irreversible, so don't worry if you make a minor mistake! Enjoy, and feel free to ask questions in the comments!
