for people that want molded mc helms with top notch detail

[Mr Mcman]

ok so would it work if if were to buy the h3 special edition wit helmet would you be able to make a mold out of it then cast it?

 

[Kratos Chaziyz]

that is a tiny helmet, plus, its got a stand on the bottom, not a hole to stick your HEAD in! At least from what I've seen

 

[Keegan]

he asks if you can mold it not wear it.

 

[Mr Mcman]

i mean mold the out side not inside. plus i have a head that should fit

 

[Kratos Chaziyz]

I think the resin is getting to my head. Yeah, I didnt even think of that, i'm a pep guy, not as familiar with the "ways" of the molder.

Yes, though the maker of the helmet might have a problem if you start popping copies and selling them

Or you can make your own instead of stealing other peoples work.

Totally agreed. That would be copyright infringement. Besides how would you get that satisfaction of knowing that you made something that looks good. Just don't do it.

Size chart:

Legendary Helm, kiddy-sized (for most folks)

Molded helms, adult-sized

Pep helm, any size you want


Point is, there are lots of better alternatives out there.

Oh, and recasting is looked very very down on so not a good idea unless you just want one for yourself. Trutfully it would be cheaper to just gut a H3 Legendary helm than trying to recast it.

you could commission someone or order it somewhere... one site is westerfield studios

Some people make their personal pep armor then make molds from it and sell casts, that's what i'm planing on doing, so check around the site or on others for that matter, i'm sure someone could make you a deal...

thx i might try ordering. but my parents dont let me order stuff off the web

 

[Tater Mane]

There is nothing wrong with someone casting something they paid for for their own personal use.

Selling it for personal profit is a different story.

 

[rvb4life]

Yeah, but its not worth it, because it is still recasting, and we all know what recasting does, right?

makes you look like an a-hole and gets you bad rep. plus you can get sued if the guy who made it found out.


but......why do it when you can make your own? isnt that what this whole site is about?

 

[NZTK]

Short answer, Yes.
Long answer, No, its not worth the price of the rubber or the time involved in moulding it. You can get those toy helmets cheap, second hand on ebay. Far cheaper than moulding it.

True.

I don't really see how it can get you bad rep, unless you went around saying, "LOLOLOLOL look wut I mayded!"

 

[Primal Weyland]

Recasting: no. Bad policy, especially if you want angry first-gen moulders chasing you because you ripped off their product.

 

[AoBfrost]

I'd say recasting a copywrited helmet is bad idea.

Recasting a prop someone made is already bad enough and looked down upon, but when you do it to a copywritted product, your looking to get sued.

 

[SGT V]

Your going to spend as much on supplies, ordered from the web no doubt, to cast a helmet that is too small when there are helmets on ebay and in the classifieds here that are top notch.

 

[Rob]

No that would NOT work. You can only cast from Clay Wood Steel or Plaster of Paris. If you cast from a halo Helmet you will get fur on you palms go blind never have kids and your friends cat will piss on you. You will not go marching at D-con you will stink, make low grads at school. Get a bad job live at hame were you only friends will be the cat thats that use you foe a letter box.

NO RECASTING WITH OUT THE ARTEST SAYING YOU CAN!

i.e. at an armor party is ok were we come together to cast off of one set of molds.

Just my 2 cents.

NO... Bad ...
