Hey there. I'm making the imperial guard helmet from starwars.
I also regret starting this due to all the curves that needs to be smoothed out.
Next time I might make a helmet with more edges.

that aside, I first made the 3d model of the helmet myself.


You can get it here: guard - Download - 4shared
I didn't take pictures of it in pep stage. But you can still see some naked pep parts in my build.

The right picture is the helmet half an hour later.

Still got to fill lots of places, even them,...

I can see now why this helmet isn't done so mutch. Progress goes very slow.
 
I'm probably the slowest prop maker there is. Still isn't finnished because of the winter. Now the sun is finally shining again I can continue working on my garden.

I accidently broke the dome, it got shattered after I dropped the helmet. So i had to fix that. I think i've added like 5 more layers of polyester and it's becoming somewhat like the shape I want it to be. Still not there yet though.

When i'm done making everything smooth I will ad the side neck lines wich are currently just flat.

I agree that the smoothing process can be difficult but it looks like you're making good progress. Your base model looks great...thank you for sharing it.
 
Thx guys!


Anyway, back on track. I filed the eye slots and they are very smooth now! also had allot of grooves to fill.
Sometimes you just can't putty a small bubble. So i bought some finnisher to fill them. Still need allot of sanding.
Stupid thing is this takes ages to dry. So i'll be working on that this week.

So i'm using this wierd thick sticky finnisher for small airbubbles and dimps. Wich amazingly sands down very easily to a smooth surface.
Don't like it though. But the end is nigh!!

thx!

Anyway, today I thought it was smooth enough to give it a coat of primer.

I hated to see every pit I didn't see before. Now it looks like i've got a long way to go

to be honest, I did like the look of it myself. Might eventually make a mold and make multiple versions. Camoflage will be definitely on the list!
