My journey on making a Dead Space Titan Helm

[DarkSigil]

Gentlemen,

This will be my attempt to get into the world of prop making, I am very open to any feedback this post and my blog are build to help me correct my mistakes and you not to make mine. I will be trying to update both this thread and my blog equally but feel free to check both the URL: darksigilprops.blogspot.com , Please enjoy responsibly.

My Steps:

Step 1:

The blue print.

Step 2:

Weeks to build it....

Step 3:

Fiberglass

Step 4:

Ugh filler.... I am not a fan of working with this stuff, inpart due to the learning curve but its getting better...

Step 4 1/2

Getting smooth

More to come in future updates, again let me know what im doing wrong and correct.

Thanks
Dark Sigil

@ Onmi shift
I don't think so, this was more of a test run im going to stick with helmets due to the easy of molding.

@ Samia

After a little facial reconstruction this bondo is kicking my butt, next project i will not just glop it on..... I should have a guide coat on by the end of the day or tommorrow morning, thanks for your support

Step 5: Spot putty to fill in the small stuff.

Step 6: Wet Sand

I have more pictures on my blog its just a pain to post them all in 2 places.

Thanks for your support

Step 6: Guide coat of paint, I went with high gloss black so I could see where is messed up.... I have a ton of work left to do....

Looks very rounded... almost like there was too much sanding... But I wouldn't know, I've never played Dead Space. It's just from the pictures I have seen the helmets look much more angular.

Ah hmmm thats a good point... Thanks keep the input coming, I would like some input on how to make the edges more shard?? I thinking a flat sanding block?

Well, when I sand an edge into something I tend to sand linear along the face... when I get to a curve, bend, or corner, I literally just sand the other face and leave the corner alone. It's really the only way you can keep angles.

Great thanks I will give that a shot.
