Hey guys, its been quite a while since I've posted much of anything here, but I figured I should go through and post some of the things I've been working on recently. Starting with the Halo 4 Recruit helmet that I'm currently in process of molding. After I post this, I'm headed down to the workshop to finish the other half of the mother mold.
Okay, lets start at the beginning, the pep build. (Everyone likes to see progress pictures right? You don't want it to magically be finished and wonder how I got there do you?)
Now we move forward to hardening and smoothing it out. I brushed on some Smooth Cast 320 on the outside, and then also roto-cast it inside till I was satisfied with the thickness and strength.
Next I started drawing on the details where I wanted them to go:
I then started blocking in all the major details using foamies. Very handy little additions in my opinion. They can be used for a variety of things.
Let's fast forward a bit so I can show off some of the primered pictures with all the extra detail added. These are some of my favorite pictures!
Not completely satisfied, I then went back and added more details around the cheek vents using not only more foamies, but sulfur-free clay as well.
And all primered up again:
Some of you may recognize these pictures if you follow either Armory Props or Tucker Props on Facebook. I own Tucker Props, and I'm one of the team members of at Armory. I'll add links to both of those pages to my signature. That way you can keep up with current progress, and other projects I'm working on. Let me know what you guys think!
