Pipinacan security helmet and multiplayer build

[Pipinacan]

Starting my next project, which is my reach multiplayer character, modeled by fat-hi555, and I think unfolded by bd50. The whole suit aside from the helmet will be foam, aside from the helmet, which is what I am starting out with now!



got the pep stuff down, going to sculpt the chin in so I just left cardboard in that area instead of teeny folds lol



and the resin and rondo inside



bondo begins!



size for yall



let me know what you think! and this is my character in game, and my hopefully final result

Looking good. Cant wait to see it when it finished. =)

I assume you are going to vacu-form the visor? Also, when that helmet is sanded it will look much better. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Nice Looking forward to see more

actually, I was not planning on vac-forming the visor at all, I have an idea at how I can do the visor really well, but I'm far from that step in the build

Noticed a not big problem, but kinda flaw in the pep last night while taking some screenies for the build, there's a ridge in the pep that really just doesn't exist in game if any of you pep this helmet or just open it up in the viewer you'll be able to see it

the detail line circled is just a ridge on the file




Now back to the build, done a lot of bondo-esque work, used epoxy putty to make the helmet crests I guess on top, or whatever they're called, and am currently filling it in with bondo, I will have to file down some parts to make it even, but this will at least give me something to work with, tell me what you think!



erasing the ridge





drew lines on the visor line so I wouldn't get confused



on this last one you can kinda see the epoxy wall still on the left side, and you can also see how I need to do some evening of them, free-hand can't always be perfect!

Looks like that ridge isn't much of a big deal, but you can always put some Bondo over it, then smooth it a lot so it is not really noticeable. Looking good so far; in the pictures it looks like just a bit of smoothing and you can start your painting. I don't think that many people will notice it since most people love looking at the front of a set of armour.

@ Bory: thank for the feedback, nice to know someone looks at my stuff lol and more bondo is exactly what I did!

well I just typed a whole post and the computer shut off, so in a fit of rage I'm cutting out most of my typing, because yall wait for the pics, right?







just primered the helmet, to make sure it's going smooth, waiting for my magic sculpt to come in today so I can finish the front and the center top









mwahahahaha
