Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build

Looking great.:) The only thing I see is the top. But you already said that lol. Keep up the good work!
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 COMPLETE]

No criticism here, from beginning to end, i just see talent. Keep it up.
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 COMPLETE]

Ya only thing I see is the top is pretty elongated, but I think you already know that, so....
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 COMPLETE]

The face is good but I just want to say something to help you. The top of the head is to elongated, no ones head is that long on top, just shorten it a little in another version and i assure you it will be better.
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 COMPLETE]

Helmet for the Coneheads at least lol

Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 COMPLETE]

Much better looking IMO, though that's not to say the first one looked bad. :)
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 2 V2 COMPLETE]

Those DRAWING SKILLS. I can't even.

Working with cardboard first as a test run. Not a bad a idea!

I would have to agree, that old top was ok but had to go.
Thanks :)

I feel very humbled to hear from someone with your legendary skills with foam :)
Yep I think that by doing a cardboard version first, it really helped me to create the correct feel of the helmet
without having to worry too much about the overall neatness due to knowing I had to rebuild it anyway.

The only downside is I will never wear it in public ( unless I did it as a bobblehead spartan :) )

One more small update today:

Stage 3: Finalise my templates and adjust the size is now Complete!

I have decided to go with 80% reduced template size.
I was originally going to go with 70% but I felt the visor was starting to get too small.

Worse comes to worse if it ends up still too large I will have to make one at about 75% (Fingers crossed its the right size)

Anyway 2 more pics incoming:

Started with this:

AgentLockeHelmetStep39_zps05294cef.jpg

Ended with this:

AgentLockeHelmetStep40_zps8f960eb3.jpg

I think my printer is telling me I need new ink :)
Only just managed to print all the pages.

{Note: Currently the helmet file has 26 pages}

Now time to start cutting them out...

Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

Hope this turns out well.
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

that. really is impressive !

So far I believe this foam version will :)

that. really is impressive !
Thanks :)

Ok so I haven't had an update in a week, so here is a small one to show you I'm still working on it.
I have been really busy with extra shifts at work, and assisting with some other builds, so progress has been slower than normal.
I have finally managed to cut out all the foam pieces for Stage 4 [Foam Helmet Version 1 {and hopefully the only one :)}]
The only pieces missing is the bolt like pieces of which I will do last with any extra detailing.

This attempt is 20% smaller than the original, and so far it is looking to be the correct size.
Only time will tell...

Anyway a quick picture update:

AgentLockeHelmetStep41_zps482853f1.jpg

Now to start heat forming / hot gluing...
Next update soon.

EDIT:

This may look like a ordinary small piece to some, but to me this piece is my first time using a heat gun....
All I can say is that it makes the foam so much smoother and more awesome.
Now I can never not use one again on a foam build :)
[Thankyou to EVAkura for teaching me the powers of a heat gun in his tutorial video]

Looking accurate so far.

So far so good :)

Awesome good luck!

Thanks :)

Small Update today again.

Did a little bit more on the jaw area of the visor.
One thing I have learned when heat forming, it makes the foam stage take alot longer but I believe it is worth the extra wait :)

Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

You have some awesome foam skills!
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

What thickness foam are you using? I have some foamies I have been messing with but when I use a heat gun on them they shrink up real bad, I think that's what they are designed to do unfortunately.

My MC helmet is the thicker stuff and heat forming small details like you have done is pretty difficult.
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

I am slowly improving :)
At the start of my halo 4 suit I had never used foam for armour before...
That suit taught me alot, and now I am trying to use all I learned on this one.
So far I think it is going well :)

The black is 6mm Eva Foam.
The purple is 2mm Craft Foam.

So far the heat gun is working perfectly on both.
 
Re: Halo 5 Agent Locke (New Oni Spartan) Pre-game Helmet Build [Stage 3 COMPLETE]

Great work mate, it is really shaping up, I am waiting, on the edge of my seat, to find out how it turns out.

Thanks man :)
I feel it is going pretty well so far too.
I just hope it ends up being the correct size, so far I believe so...

Small Update:

Worked a bit more on the cheek area.

Hoping to get some more done tonight after work.
