Working on getting a Mk VII ready to mold and cast in early 2021. The back 3rd of the helmet finished printing today and here are some comparison shots of it with the Mk V(B), its spiritual predecessor. I had a slicing problem occur in cura, so the spaces you see on the side of the chin will be...

How the Brutes head started.
I was blessed to get access to 3D models ripped from the game which i coverted to pep files and unfolded. Bruh it took forever to fix those files...once i completed the base of the Brutes head i then sculpted EVERYTHING on top of it using foam clay. His eyes are...
