3D Printed Halo Forward unto Dawn Master Chief Helmet (Pic Heavy)

[Termhn]

Awesome, I would totally pick one up but it wouldn't fit with my build since I'm not doing chief... going to be 3d printing my own helmet though hopefully!

Hello 405th members. I'm back this time around to share a project that I've wanted to do for some time now. The Forward unto Dawn Master Chief helmet. The amazing model was created by a good friend of mine, Jacob Morin. He's also a fellow member of Stony Props. The print was done by another buddy and member, Walter Marlin.

This started out in pieces, as most 3D printed helmets do.

Here I super glued the two sides to the nose, then the back section to that.

Here I added an extra detail to the back of the neck.

Here it is with the brim and visor glued into place. The temple detail is just pushed in for the pic. These are will be detailed separately and added later.

Next I taped all the seams with frog tape and added two coats of Smooth cast 320 to the inside to fill the seams, lock everything together, and give it some strength. After that, I put a good coat of fiberglass resin on the outside to help fill the print lines and make life a little easier when it came time to start filling and smoothing it out. I then sprayed it with a coat of primer and got to work on the filling. Here you can see a comparison shot from the left cheek, untouched, to the right cheek after about 5 hours of filling and sanding, filling and sanding.

I also added the three detail lines to the cheek area using small detailing files. You can see them marked off above, and added in below. This area still needs a little more work but it's smoothing out nicely I think.

Here's a front view to kinda give you an idea on the progress so far.

That's all for now. I'll be working on this more throughout the day, so I should have another update tomorrow. Thanks for looking and following along on this new journey with me.

How solid is that helmet when it's assembled?
