Lastspartan's Mk-vi Helmet

[whtwlf]

It looks like you're doing very well in terms of smoothing. The only think I can recommend is that you make sure that the edges come out straight after you're done.

 

[LastSpartan]

Yeah I plan on clearing them up with my Dremel later on.

I did some smoothing since the last pictures, added some Spot Putty, and the right jaw is (almost) over !

EDIT : Tada! ^^

I decided to take new pics with some black paint added on the helmet. it helps for the low spots and such.

And Black = 1337ness.

I still need to clean up the nose piece thingy.

 

[crackhead09]

is it warped it looks that way

 

[hillhopper]

coming along very nicely , dido on the edges make them crisp to give defenition.

 

[LastSpartan]

It is a bit warped, but the picture makes it looks worst that it is.

And I'm cleaning the edges today

 

[Keegan]

That looks Hawt.
But a little warped.

 

[LastSpartan]

I sanded some of the paint, that's why the green looks... bad.

I also poured a big batch of casting resin in the brim of the helmet. Result, dripping everywhere, and that stuff is damn hot when it is mixed in big batches.

I sanded all the plastic that dripped.

Not yet finished, but almost. Some wet sanding, spot puttying and floating faces.


All pictures from start to finish are available here

Sounds like you discovered what an exotherm is. The reaction that cures the resin generates heat. The hotter the resin gets, the quicker it cures, the more heat it generates. It's a positive feedback loop. Always mix resin in shallow containers to allow heat to dissipate. If an exotherm is violent enough the resin can spontaneously combust. I once nearly melted a plastic mixing container. That got my attention. Be safe.

 

[LastSpartan]

Yeah and the brim wasn't resined enough so the plastic (Smoothcast300) dripped from every tabs. Got some on my forearm and I didn't noticed at first. And then I was like, why is my arm all white!?

It's good stuff, but now, little batches at the time

EDIT : Guys, does anyone know what is the best size for visors? Like the largest one? (The MX-12031131 thingy)
