I'm giving armor and helmet making a go finally after tons of weapons builds. This is only my second sculpt ever, threw the first one out and started over with the noble six helmet instead. I used the method i made a tutorial for here with the pepakura clay pour method. After that it was shaving and sculpting and smoothing for what seemed like forever. Finally i am left with this and the rubber to mold it with is on it's way, soon I'll be making all the copies i need. So if anyone has been waiting for a great Noble Six helmet just wait until this is done !
EDIT: I have finally completed a helmet cast for everyone to see, completely finished out ! I am Completely thrilled with how it turned out, take a look for yourselves !
The originals and first pull
Progress and visor fitting
How could i change the thread title to completed ?
I tried to pack in every single detail i could, my wall has been covered in reference shots and I've tried to track down every detail. I decided to sport the CNM helm attachment as well. Don't worry about the white residue that's just left over from the previous casting attempt where the rubber wasn't compatible. I am clear coating it and the next attempt should go smoothly. Any final smoothing and detailing will be worked out in the sanding stage. I already have three motorcycle visors ready and waiting to go when i get my first casts out so keep your eyes on this one !
