Halo Reach Scout Helmet casting

[L337 H473R]

Hey everybody, I’m working on making the master of Juns helmet from halo reach, it was a pep model I had 3D printed and I think it’s coming along fairly well. I plan to mold and cast it so people can start having reach scout helmets. It’s far from done and I’d like any advice for making the helmet and people to nitpick so I can make it as accurate as possible! I have more photos of the process if anybody is interested.

It’s coming along, I’ve been working on the helmet slowly. I’ve realized I need to actually take more time with the clay when sculpting, it’d make my life easier here! But tons of sanding and filing to get the look right. It’s still quite a ways away from complete, but I’m more confident with getting it finished now that I’m seeing this from when I started.

So the helmet is finished it took quite some time and I think I got pretty close to accurate with it. I’ll be making the mold this week and hopefully casting shortly after. I’m also aiming to have the visor buck finished by the end of the month. I have the attachment that’s seen on Juns helmet too but it’s got quite a ways to go before it’s done. Priority is the helmet that I can sell as complete, then the attachment hopefully shortly after can be bought.

So I’ve molded the helmet and begun casting. There’s been a bit of trial and error, I’ve been smoothing out some kinks and I think I’ve got it dialed in. I currently have photos of a painted B grade cast and I’ll include some of the A grade cast that isn’t touched yet. I’ll be taking commission for finished helmets for anyone interested soon. It will be a complete painted halo reach scout helmet with really nice padding as well as a vacuum formed visor that has been dyed and painted with the reflection paint. Fan kits are an additional option too! The paint on the B grade is not normal to my finish, it’s just a test helmet!
