Man I hope so. I’m going through a rough time at the moment, so finding the funds to do it will be rough. I suppose I can pep it though.
Thank you Noble 1! I appreciate the comments. I don’t know about the best, but I hope I did the model some justice. Keep building dude!
Well, I’ll be molding tomorrow! Yeah!! I’ll take a bunch of pikshurs!
Done with painting for now.
What do you think?

hey the helmet came out great i do have one little critism and that is the color blue that you used, i feel like the blue in the came is more of a flat blue and not really shiny. that just my opinion either way the detail came out great.

So the silicone won't stick to the helmet, it doesn't have to be thick just enough to slick the surface.

OK, Heres what it looks like so far. I had to stop 3:00 because I had to get up for work at 6:00. I didn’t realize it would take so long. So, for all those people out there who have molded, did I mess anything up, or should I add registration keys anywhere (I really just have the ridge on the top in an x pattern and two registration keys on the cheeks. If any of you pros out there see any issues with the way it has been molded so far, please let me know what to do to fix. I appreciate your help.
Thanks again for viewing my thread!
P.S. I must have mixed it right, because every layer was curing, I guess it's do or die after I make the support shell and see if there are any issues once I demold the model.

You really need some keys on the front of that helmet. The helmet mold (rubber) is going to slide around inside your mother mold (hard outside of the mold) without registration keys (big bumps/ squares or other shapes) to help keep it in place. I see you made a big x on top, but it's not really tall enough to do a lot of good, also where you are going to get the most warp-age is at the bottom of the helmet. Remember when you are casting that is the part that will be at the top because you will hold it upside down to pour in the plastic. That means you need major keys working up in that direction.
er, um, yeah what he said ;p
