Here is the PCB and a couple of servos "Y" jacked together + DarkJerre LED eyes.
All is activated by a solitary micro tap switch.
PS - The batteries are pretty pooched, but you get the idea...

Visor System
On the linkage:
I have the optimal visor linkage worked out and in place... exactly the same as the Jarvis Helmet.
Very solid movement for sure.
On the visor:
Bear in mind that when the helmet was made, part of its shape and integrity is the front section. When you cut it the helmet will have a tendency to "bulge" outward at the edges of the sides. It is a good idea to thicken the edges of the helmet that you are cutting off. If that's too hard to do, then do the whole helmet. You can always do what I did and Dremel and sand off as much of the faceplate as possible (the inside of course)to make it less heavy so it is easier on the servos to lift.
(Smoothcast 321 and slushcast it)
Servo placement:
Waiting on more details on servo type and placement... will detail more as I get it
