carter helmet build/ marine helmet build

[loxton117]

Yeah its certainly a beautiful place to live, perfect setting to work in, I have a workshop in the hills that I live in, so I can work basically whenever I want... I'm trying to set up a group of guys with things I've made/making to go through melbourne in an advertising stunt.
and as a side note... anyone who is familiar with airbrushing, what colour is the masterchiefs armour colour scheme and how do I mix that colour with my airbrush paints?

Really cool Idea. Did you draw that or find that somewhere. I would definitely love to see that constructed. Good luck!

I think it was google image that I found it on... I was actually commissioned to build a small scale Forerunner keyship, in searching for the pics I accidentally came across this shame I don't have any pics of the keyship on this laptop though was also considering making 343 guilty spark....

Well, where ever you found it, you need to build it. It's straight up Badassery. Looks like the ish is about to go down, when I see the pic.

[loxton117]

Your helmet is looking incredible! And considering that I have no idea how to work with clay, I'm really impressed with your work so far. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more progress on the chest!

hahaha well now I know ok tonight I'll finish off the left shoulder and start work on the right breast plate then tomorrow at about the same time I should have some good progress pics.... none of it will be completely smooth or detailed until I've got the basic shape of the entire thing done, and at the end of the week my new bust should be showing up (hope) all my other ones are being used by one thing or another... so I can start on didacts helmet!

 

[AbbyWanKenobi]

Wow, you got a lot done! Everything looks FANTASTIC! Keep it, dude!

 

[Road Kill]

looks great, keep it up =D

 

[loxton117]

just a tiny update, internet is being a mega A hole right now so I could only upload two pics... but all I managed to get done today was the right breast plate, but on the other hand its identical to the left one how fun it is to spend hours on end doing this

Thinking of taking a day off from all clay work tomorrow...

this is a fan armor, it was dubbed 'the chosen one' in the halo revolutions fan novel.

 

[loxton117]

ok... I randomly decided that I hated the masterchief helmet and I sort of tore it apart so when I've finished the Mark VI chest piece, Didacts helmet, Forerunner soldiers helmet and suit I will get around to redoing it

sorry if this has been asked and i missed it, but what did you use inside your helmet ?? cause it didnt look like fibreglass,
