Amazing work so far! This is one hell of a build thread.
Why is this in the noob forum? This should be in the elite.
Also make it harder, better, faster, stronger - lol.
But like I said.. Fantastic build so far! Cant wait to see more!
Harder: check. This thing, despite what looks like a simple shape, has been very tricky to scratch-build.
Better: Hopefully! I've seen some pretty good Guy helmets out there, and I'm hoping mine will end up among those few.
Faster: Uh, nope. I work slow, and I always have. Ah well.
Stronger: Should be! I've been cutting my teeth on some simpler molds before I do the helmet, and messing around with TAP Plastic's Quick-Cast. So far I've only done a few smaller commissions (daggers, clubs, some jewelry) with it but it seems fairly strong.
I know a lot of guys here use the Smooth-On products, but I've not gotten a chance to use any of those. Anyone have a recommendation on whether Smoothcast 300 would make for a stronger final cast than the Quick-Cast I've used up until now?
As for it being in the Noob forum, well.. I'm still a noob as far as the 405th is concerned, so here I stay!
[edit]:
literally as I'm entering this, I notice I'm now on "members" status and no longer a noob. Thanks Mods/Admins!
