Gundam- Sinaju Helmet.

[thorn696]

the Gundam MSN-06S Sinaju helmet.

Starting this build this weekend. This build will be a first for many things for me.
1.) This is my first pro build.
2.) This will be my fist silicon molded prop.
3.) This is my first Charity prop.

Needless to say this should be a fun build to watch.:cool
Next this will be molded and cast in multiple parts. Casting #001 will be custom painted and decal'd, so it can go to my clients favorite Charity. I will post more on this Charity as we get closer to finishing the helmet.

EDIT:
As I look at this pep/paper model I just can't thinking about how many hours of Bondo sculpting it will take to smooth it out and then start adding all the detail....then It came to me, I don't have to do everything alone any more. I'm part of a team now. So I asked Jacob, One of the master modelers over at Stony Props if he could smooth this out a bit. Needless to say I will be starting this 2nd file this weekend. I was going to build this helmet 3-4 times just to get everything right but Jacob will be cutting that time down for me.

Stony Prop's very own master modeler Jacob revised the concept helmet for me so here you go.
New vs Old.



Next weekend I'll be working on the New base file
Don't let your dreams fade away...

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

As you can see in the Edit, The Stony Props crew added a new twist to this build for me. Yes... I now have a New file to work with. It is in a HD format and closer the the toy. So I will be doing that file this weekend. The work he did on this in just one afternoon is so amazing.

Thanks again Jacob.

Side note: This helmet will be cast in a 7.5 size to fit most people. I didn't want to see some win it then not be able to wear it.

Thank you Cereal Killl3r, This going to be one of those builds that will be both fun and interesting to watch.

Thank you Mstruvmgc, Just wait till I get all the curves in ti.


First layer of Hard coat added.
Basic sanding to round it out a little.
This has already sucked up a whole test kit so I have to order more Smoothcast 321.


Till next time.
