Halo Reach Commando Helmet Build (Picture Heavy)

[Roadwarrior]

My first helmet mold(MkVa) was slightly more complex than yours

Nice work mate, when doing the shell put the mold 90 degrees on it's side. it's way easier than with it vertical, and don't forget the cardboard Mohawk.

Im glad I can help you forget about your problems if even just for a moment. Laughter is the cure lol. You helmet is amazing. I have to find a way to trick you into giving it to me.

Lol, Thanks again my man. Can't wait to see what you do next!! BTW, I plan on trying to duplicate your foam skillz, just never work with the material before. I want to make a full custom reach armor. Keep building, it's been my own personal counselor!

Thanks man, I will do this. Quick question, If I do, will it distort the mold any? I just don't want the subsequent castings to be warped. Also, will the cardboard mohawk stay pretty much level or will it sag on its side, or if it does sag, does it really matter much?

P.S. I'm starting this either tonight or tomorrow morniing, any help is appreciated.

This is way beyond what I can do with bondo. BLACKULA your skills are supernatural.

Its a work of Art

i think this picture is in that kanye west song "Power" too. it's a good soccer song

 

[BLACKULA727]

Well, heres what I got so far. What do you think? Now all I can do is pray that I did everything correctly. Wish me luck. Also, Does anyone know how long I need to wait before I demold?

The bondo, was to fill in some sharp areas, I didn't want to loose a finger.

Keep building guys.

I don’t mean to tute my own horn, But Tute….Tute. I did it. Finally finished my first mold. What do you all think? I couldn’t be happier!!

Keep building !

Wow, incredible job! It looks excellent! I can't wait to see a cast of it!

 

[TheBradinator]

AAAAHHHHHH!!! IM SO EXcited! and i JUST CANT HIDE IT! Pour a cast out brotha!!!

 

[Hammythejedi]

Gonna be awsome

 

[Arioch]

That is excellent! Id buy a copy if I didnt want to build one so bad! Did you use rebound 25? Im cuurently trying out cheaper things for alternatives... not too much luck yet. I have a noble 6 helm covered in clear RTV silicone right now... have to buy more to thicken it up though.

But your mold is excellent! Thinking about buying one anyway already lol.

 

[Constrictor]

That helmet...shall...have my babies!

 

[BLACKULA727]

[S15Costuming]

looks amazing!!! now i can't wait to see it casted... :O

 

[BLACKULA727]

Thanks again guys for the great comments.


My first casting. Not to happy with it. I think I poured it a little to thin. Is there a way to fix it now. Can I roll more plastic around inside? Anyways, if not I’ll try it again tomorrow. We’ll will see. Heres some pics.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for viewing my thread.

here's what I think
that is the most detailed helmet that I have seen
it is a beacon in the night
on a lighter note good job

 

[Brandon McClain]

Yeah, you can roll more inside if you are careful not to pour it into your lap it's never fun when that happens.

Thanks Brandon, I truly appreciate the help I received from people like you, Ithica & Ben Streeper. You guys are awesome. BTW, what thickness would you recommend on the plastic(Ex. 1/4" or 1/8" or Etc....), Just a general Idea. Thanks again My man!

no you cant........blackula you should send it to me for "repairs"........just sayin lol jk yeah you can just about always put more plastic inside

 

[matth101]

NO!!! hes sending it to ME for inspection!!! my mouth is watering..... DO WANT!!!! MUST.... HHHAAAAVVVVEEEEEE.......

 

[HaloGoddess]

WOW! That is a VERY nice helmet. I especially like the little bits of detail. I'm a detail freak and I say, the more detail, the better! XD haha

I would love a casting of this helmet for my husbands future costume. Once I finish my Kat costume, I want to build a Carter one for him since I think a Kat/Carter couple would be cute. hehe lol
