TM's helmet sculpt - revisited!

[troopermaster]

Hi guys,

 

I have dusted off my old Biker Scout helmet that I may many years ago and I am going to be casting it up to make new moulds. I will be making all the necessary changes to make this into a nice replica that will hopefully as close to the original helmet as possible. All the measurements are the same as the original albeit a few areas need reworking to get the parts to fit properly. I never got the chance to do anything more than make the first test helmet all those years ago but now that is about to change!

 

For those of you who are not long standing members here, I started this sculpt about 2007/2008 if I remember correctly, with the aim of making the full armour. I started off with the hardest part and got the sculpts made then formed over them to make the test helmet. That is as far as it went. I cannot find my old thread since it was on the old site and I cannot find it on here either, so here are some photos that I still have in my PB account.

 

I am really looking forward to working on this again and hope you will enjoy watching my progress.

 

Cheers,

 

-Paul

Okay, I have cast the test pull in bondo and have started reworking them. The main helmet was pretty good shape wise and I just have to make a few areas more rounded and touch up a few spots. The face plate was too big, especially the lens, so am reworking that too. This is going to be slow work but I will keep plugging away when time permits.

 

I am going to need the 3M bolts and snout greeblie if anyone can hook me up with those. Jut send me a PM if you can help.

 

Thanks

Cool to see this project pop back up. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the specific shapes of the facial piece, which is the most difficult to get right.
