Another update, I ended up ordering a visor since I couldn't find a way to tint it the way I'd like. Once I get the visor installed the helmet will be done. So I'll be able to focus fully on modeling the armor.

So I've gone and done most of the base colors on the helmet. Just waiting for some more paint to come in the mail so that I can touch it up in spots. Next I'll be doing various stickers, adding some hardware, lighting it up with some EL wire, and dying/chroming the visor. The thing I'm...

Yea its some tough math for sure :(. I took your advice on the wood filler and it worked pretty well. I also tried using Thin super glue on some of the smaller seams and got pretty good results. Ill keep the advice about vacuum forming in mind thanks! Honestly I feel like unless you are for...

It takes anywhere from 6-12 hours to print depending on the piece. The helmet was segmented into 12 pieces. I also made the helmet fairly thin to save plastic. It's only about 1-2mm thick. It also helped to have both printers running at once lol. I'll give the 3d pen a ****! Thanks for the...

Hey guys Back with an update, I re-designed the bottom so I could make the opening bigger and get a closer to scale fit. after i changed the model I used a method I found on youtube to make sure it would fit. Essentially what I did was I printed off the bottom 1/12 of the helmet just so I would...

Hey Thank you for the response! Ill give re-scaling it a go, do you think it'd be best to scale it so from rebreather to rebreather was 2/3 of my shoulder width? or should I aim for less? A lot of the images i've been using for reference have it at some sorta weird angle, so its kinda hard to...

So I got the file to a point where I was happy with it, tried my best at scaling, and then split the helmet into parts sized to my print bed. Ive printed out a little over half of the helmet, and I think I may have scaled it to big lol. Does this look right to you guys? It looks kind of...

Hey thanks for the Reply! I'll look into face loops and edge loops. Some of the detail on the Normal map, like the rivets, I didn't really care to put in the model, and would instead prefer to just use real hardware since I think it'd look nicer, but I did want to try and take any of those...

Hey Im just looking around for tips on adding detail from prints or how others have gone about printing their helmets. So far I've messed around in blender and found some tutorials on taking the game assets and slicing them into pieces and stuff to make it printable. However, the model is very...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for a while, and have decided to finally try and tackle making my own set of armor. I've been poking around the Armory, and couldn't seem to find what I'm looking for so I decided to post a request, and see if anyone would be willing to try has done it...
