okay, so i wasn't sure how to go about asking this.. i thought id try a new topic in here.
i have created a mkvi spartan helm from pepakura, then resined, rondoed and bondoed the outside untill its looking good.
is it possible to create a mold from this? many of my friends are interested in getting a helmet off me, but im thinking it will be much cheaper to actually create molds. ive been looking around and ive seen the threads you guys have put up. but most of them are about starting from a clay sculpt, so would the same kind of technique work for my helm? im thinking of using the smooth cast stuff, but i need to research about materials in australia.
if anyone could help me, maybe with some detailed explanation about how this is done i would be thankfull. even a good youtube tutorial.. ive seen some but they are mainly of clay sculpts..
sorry if this bothers people, and if you think i should read the stickies and research myself about this i have tried. but i thought it would be ok to see if anyone might give me a hand..
ive also thought about vac forming, id like to try this on my odst pieces. and perhaps some of my mk vi, would anyone be able to give me some good reccomendations..?
